I’ve noticed a good number of strange problems in the IOS development process, so I’m going to track them here. If they’re resolved at some point, I’ll note it.
- At least in my first attempt, letting Appleconnect build my code resulted in a build with no errors that could not be submitted for review. The solution for me was to build from Xcode. It took a while to stumble on that, so if you have problems with one way, try the other.
- Xcode doesn’t show Info.plist by default. This is a particularly nasty bug that caused a great deal of trouble, being the biggest reason I had so much trouble getting my first app submitted for review. The only way I found to get around it was to make a small change to one of the items under the Info tab under the project name/icon in Xcode. Then, the Info.plist showed up!
- SwiftUI and SwiftData are siloed off from each other, so if you have a list, the view is controlled by SwiftUI. This means that if a user moves an item in a list, SwiftData is not informed. If the user quits the app, the order will revert to the last saved version! So you must resort to tracking the order in your code and adjusting your query accordingly.
