Html5StarterAppWithSwift, featured in thechangelog.com weekly newsletter

So I have written a few posts about my Html5StarterAppWithSwift and one of my objectives with that project/Github repo is to ensure more people know about it. So if anyone is trying to build a "native" HTML5 iOS app in a way similar to what is mentioned here, they are not slowed down by having to solve the same problems that I faced.

How does thechangelog.com fit into the whole picture?

I listen to thechangelog.com podcast often i.e. every time they have a new podcast on something that interests me (which is 80-85% of the time). I have been listening to their podcasts for a few years now and I know they like and support open-source stuff. So I decided to let them know about Html5StarterAppWithSwift by "Ping" ...ing them i.e. create an issue in their Github repo, to let them know about Html5StarterAppWithSwift and then it got featured in thechangelog.com weekly. So I am hoping more people know about it and can make use of it, while working on their iOS app.

Finally, I am working on my app full-time right now and if you find my work useful and want to support me you can 

You could also show your support by giving the My Day To-Do Facebook page a like.

Upload to AWS S3 from Java API

In this post, you will see code samples for how to upload a file to AWS S3 bucket from a Java Spring Boot app. The code you will see here is from one of my open-source repositories on Github, called document-sharing. Problem Let’s say you are building a document sharing app where you allow your users to upload the file to a public cloud solution. Now, let’s say you are building the API for your app with Spring Boot and you are using AWS S3 as your public cloud solution. How would you do that? This blog post contains the code that can help you achieve that. Read more below,  Upload to AWS S3 bucket from Java Spring Boot app - My Day To-Do (mydaytodo.com)

Addressing app review rejections for auto-renewing subscription in-app purchase (iOS)

The ability to know what the weather is like while planning your day is a feature of  My Day To-Do  Pro and as of the last update it’s also a part of the  Lite version . Unlike the Pro version it’s an auto-renewing subscription based  in-app purchase (IAP)  in the Lite version. What means is that when a user purchases it, the user only pays for the subscription duration after which the user will be automatically charged for the next period. Adding an  auto-renewing  subscription based IAP proved to be somewhat challenging in terms of the app store review i.e. the app update was rejected by the App Review team thrice because of missing information about the IAP. Therefore in this post I will share my experiences and knowledge of adding auto-renewing IAP in hopes to save someone else the time that I had to spend on this problem. In-App purchase This year I started adding IAPs to My Day To-Do Lite which lead to learning about different types of IAP...

Serving HTML content in an iOS app that works in iOS 7 and later (using Swift)

As I have mentioned in an earlier post , I really enjoying coding in Swift. Now what am I doing with it? Well I am trying to build an HTML5 app that must work on devices with iOS 7. So in iOS8 apple has introduced a whole bunch of features that facilitate easy communication between web content and lets just call it back-end Swift code, but those features are not in iOS 7. So why do I want to build something that would work in an older OS? well I do not expect existing iOS users to upgrade to iOS 8 straight away and i also know a couple of people who would be very reluctant to upgrade their iPhones to iOS 8. Now in case you do not, you can have a read of the "Working with WebViews" section of this post , to know how to serve HTML content with WebViews. So when I started building my app, I wanted to know: How do I invoke some Swift code from my HTML content? Well the solution to this may feel a little bit "hacky" but it is a solution to achieve this.  The followi...
