Teeps For Developers

Welcome to Code Completion, Episode 57! We are a group of iOS developers and educators hoping to share what we love most about development, Apple technology, and completing your code!

Follow us @CodeCompletion on Twitter to hear about our upcoming livestreams, videos, and other content.

Today, we discuss:

• Code Completion Club: https://codecompletion.io/jointheclub
• Indie App Spotlight, with a new app for you to check out:
  • Command-Tab Plus by Gerasim Sergey
• Bug tracking, and how to file good bugs:
  • Feedback Assistant
  • left-pad
  • Tech Talks
  • Ting Becker on Twitter
• Mini Review Corner
  • OWC Thunderbolt Dock

Also, join us for #CompleteTheCode and Compiler Error, two segments that test both your knowledge and our knowledge on Swift, Apple, and all things development!

Your hosts for this week:

• Fernando Olivares
• Spencer Curtis
• Dimitri Bouniol

Be sure to also sign up to our monthly newsletter, where we will recap the topics we discussed, reveal the answers to #CompleteTheCode, and share even more things we learned in between episodes.

You are what makes this show possible, so please be sure to share this with your friends and family who are also interested in any part of the app development process.

Complete the Code

How can you make sure both load methods run concurrently?

// How can you make sure both load methods run concurrently?
func loadItem(_ id: UUID) async {
    let image = await loadImage(id)
    let metadata = await loadMetadata(id)

    presentItem(id, image: image, metadata: metadata)
}

Be sure to tweet us with hashtag #CompleteTheCode if you know the answer!

Compiler Error

This week's Compiler Error has a theme: Apple Radar!
1 - The internal Apple Radar app for iOS comes with a sticker pack, allowing Apple engineers to communicate bug statuses in style.
2 - The mascot for Apple Radar is a purple ant eater named Fixie, so inspired because the engineer’s daughter was doing a report on them at the time.
3 - Although the full app was never available to the public, a separate tool called Bug Reporter could be used to file radars, though it was made unavailable in 2019.
4 - It wasn’t until after the iPhone was released that Tim Burks decided to create Open Radar in 2008 to make sharing and duplicating Radars easier for developers.
