What would be your recommendations for an online course for learning to use XCODE and planning a swift app ? After a law degree I've spent 40 years learning systems engineering. Mostly networking, some programming so I have the basics, but there are some absolute mysteries. My first app was a basic program for the //e a contact database we could save on tape before diks were avai.able. Now I'm stymied with some cryptic messages about not being able to create schema and I simple downloaded the new code and told it to create a new ios app.

I've been working a while on removing duplicates in a 5k+ library. I have a decent program to find the dups and first move to a special subdirectory. I want to make a library from then make it the system library so that I can see that on all apple devices. Yes, I know the feedback site and hate it. There's no interactive help if you run beta and I've not been able to successfully back up to the shipping version.

I'm stuck in a loop. Maybe someone else can point me in the right direction ? I'm having issues with Bluetooth device. Developer Admin says call regular tech support. But they will not handle beta. I'm glad the forums are here, but where is the PROPER place to ask ?

This happens through last 4 ios releases. certain phones don't hear the speaker well. So I grab beats pro or bose headset and if they wait long enough to get it setup, the call goes fine. But when I'm driving or having. to use both hands I'll try to make a call. They can't hear me.

I hope this is the "right" place to get help. Last time was a BIG failure. I'm trying to take my idea for my app and make it. more concrete. At first it's a simple database and UI to fill it. Then it becomes a networked database (file and field locking). Next step is iPhone or iPad entry in the field. So first step is ironing out the database. Then it's internet communication to the database. Once I get. that step comes the creative part. At first the entry form would remain fixed. But the goal is to be able to use the database for filling out other forms and add them to the database. I'm hoping to get the grant from NNCEH or NC Coalition to End Homelessness. Which means this must help get them off the streets and into stable housing and healthcare. There will be mountains of forms to be submitted. If the database expanded for each new "field" or piece of information, in turn it could be used to fill in other forms. Then the database could be updated routinely to indicate eligibility for other programs like food stamps, etc.. Then the forms to apply for that would be generated. This database could also b´us´d as the central location for information. such as food banks. That eliminates the old mimeo sheets (out of date) that are passed around. In short I want to the movement to end homelessness a push into the "information age" making forms easier as well as keeping up to date. My company is a real 501(c)(3) corp, so there will be no charge to social agencies who ask for access. The actual equity is the database. Imagine that with a report writer for the Database it could be used to predict changes. Most importantly it can predict what's needed by the homeless with real figures not "gut feelings". North Carolina has a job description called Certified Peer Support Specialist. They interact with the homeless so they would be the ones with iPhones entering information in the field. I've been so long winded to give a good picture of where I'm going and what I need to get there. to highlight the critical areas show what an impact this program could have once deployed. I need advice on all aspects: which database, how to setup the comms between field iPhones and the database server.

I'm very familiar with running a program in an IDE or closed system in order to allow quick access and quickly fixing the code. What I'm not used to is these "certificates".  I'm just picking some open sources Xcode friendly programs just so I can learn. I'd think that if it has an Xcode project file then it should compile. Most of them, instead, it stops on the state of these certificates. What can I read or watch that would prepare me for fixing them /

I'm establishing a Muti-user database that will be updated by lan based stations as well as many in the field. That means at the least file & record locking. What's the best solution to have this solution through Macs and iPhones ? Is this going to take a Linux server with an SQL database or is there an apple solution ?

I'm an apple developer beginning the creation of a network for development. I want to have shared services such as file server(s), printing, email, etc.. I hope to include other developers in my effort to create my company's software. I'm looking for an area with others who can discuss beta products from apple as well as the challenges of development on a lan/wan. my first question is how the new server package differs from the last release and how that can help with a shared database and communication program.

I'm hoping to contact others who've successfully installed macOS for both local and remote networks. I have a G5 that I want to setup as a file/database server so that I can remotely access data files, get query results from a database and update the remote iOS device. If you've used, installed, uninstalled any of the above G5s or macOS products.

i've found more solutions available in bash rather than zsh so i'd like to know will it continue to be supported ? Others may find ZSH easier and I might also, eventually. But the hours I poured over getting my shell prompt the way I wanted it in zsh versus the way it was in bash have me questioning if i need to.

i'm not completely helpless though i feel that way when i try a project from the web to compile under xcode. my projects have been "to the metal" with assembler, pascal, basic a touch of c and c++. i've used scripts and am passingly familiar with terminal commands (what i used to call DOS, no GUI). i've some udemy courses lined up and have seen the stanford ios. in the meantime i thought to practice by downloading some neat looking ones from the web. then i'm lost. compiling always starts with a signing error which leads to learning how to debug in xcode. BTW: as many tutorials as there are they haven't 'worked' for me. there's a step missing i'm supposed to know and don't. i need something simple. as an aside the best how to book i've ever read was "Assembly Lines" which was a compilation of articles written for BYTE magazine. It was so easy to learn assembler, then move on. anyway, take aircrack-ng a neat looking app. But the first it will say that BIGL.H is missing. There's a fix using an obscure GIT code to recurse the source as it's cloned. Unfortuantely i run into a problem in setting the location xcode expects to find the file. in the source it's <bigl/bigl.h>. I'm familiar with includes but t hat syntax for location is unfamiliar. It would help to get a reference to how to step through each error. I've stumbled into it and yet have to look through multiple tabs or screens to find the exact red shaded area. Before you say RTFM, no t he help is abysmal. So it's 1 - what directory structure should i use or how do i correct for a 'lost' file 2 - how do i switch between the gui and command line ? right now the path is command line but the script command "build" won't work 3 - how, step-by-step, do i follow each reported error Or where can i find a very direct debugging tutorial

I have a program that has the original script to call for "Build". In terminal it returns "unknown command". So I tried XCodeBuild and get this xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodeBuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance How do I do this ?

Becoming a code developer after an ibookeloping a dual boot systs developer has been overwhelming. For instance developto either./ So who can we ask questions about being a developwer, installing the software, butnot code questionsing a dual boot systeml, then data migration. and permissions. Now tech support can't answer beta questions and seems the dev team doesn't care
