You’re not a developer

Like every other time I’ve tried to run on a device, the provisioning profiles were outdated and I had to go refresh them. Only this time, all I got was this:

I guess I was fired and they let Xcode tell me?

⌘⇧O

If you call a feature Open Quickly… it just isn’t cool that you beachball for ten seconds when you invoke it.

Completion FAIL

So, if there’s this method that takes an argument of type WPAccount, and I type accoun, and there are two possible matches: one that fits the expected parameter type and one that doesn’t. What would you expect?

WRONG

Beyond DevTools

Oh, the Irony. I don’t want to extend myself beyond Xcode and other Developer Tools, but while writing the previous post on Auto Layout issues, Safari crashed on me, on NSLayoutConstraint code!

Debugging Auto Layout

I’m trying to debug an Auto Layout issue where my view is extending under the tab bar for some reason

I read in Apple’s documentation how to debug:

If possible, reproduce the issue while running under the Auto Layout template in Instruments.

An Auto Layout Instrument sounds nice. Never mind it’s actually called Cocoa Layout

Anyway, open that, hit record, 💣

Secret booleans on Swift

Is this true? Is this false?

(lldb) p self.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints
(() -> Bool) $R5 =
(lldb) po self.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints

(lldb) 

Hint: it’s a method

(lldb) po self.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints()
false

Debugging Swift 2

(lldb) po activityIndicator
error: Couldn't lookup symbols:
  __swift_FORCE_LOAD_$_swiftQuartzCore
(lldb) po self
error: Couldn't lookup symbols:
  __swift_FORCE_LOAD_$_swiftQuartzCore

Debugging Swift

I just went ahead and ported my first class to Swift. I expect a lot more of this:

(lldb) po self

error: Error in auto-import:

Busy

Oh Xcode, Y U SO BUSY?

Must be indexing the whole Internet though, as it’s been at it for at least 30 minutes

Refactor

Indexing (…) is one of Xcode’s favorite activities since version 6 was released. And it’s apparently very exclusive:
