Xcode project template for native Html5 apps is now Swift2/Xcode 7 ready

This is a very short blog post to describe my latest commit to this template. The Xcode project template in question here is my open-source repo on Github, titled Html5StarterAppWithSwift. This repo came to be while I was working on my iOS app, My Day Todos and if you need to know what that repo is, then have a look at this README file or this blog post. 

The latest update to the repo: Swift 2

When Xcode 7 was released, so was Swift 2 and since this repo was built using Xcode 6 and Swift 1, I had to migrate it so people do not have any issues when working with this on Xcode 7. I think there may still be people working with Xcode 6 for at least another few months and hence, my original Xcode 6 compliant code is still there. I have added another branch to this repo called, SwiftOne which has the Xcode 6 and Swift 1 code.

Upcoming features: Charting and what else?

Very soon, I will be demonstrating how to use an Html5 based charting solution in a native iOS app via this repo (Html5StarterAppWithSwift). I may use one of the charting libraries mentioned here or morris.js. So if you have any feature requests or anything that you would like to see demonstrated in this repo, then please leave a comment or create an issue here.

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)

Image
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...

Getting started with iOS programming using Swift (Part 1)

I have not been too fond of Objective-C, which was the primary reason for me to stay away from making iOS apps till now. So what changed? Well Apple has done something very interesting recently and that is the introduction of a new programming language i.e. Swift. Swift is awesome, it almost feels like Python, C++ and Objective-C had a baby with some of their good parts in them. So I have been getting to know Swift and it is an awesome language to program in. What I am going to share with this and a series of blog posts are solutions to some problems that i have encounter while i am trying to finish my first iOS app. The one hurdle that I have encountered while getting started on developing an iOS app is that a majority of the solutions for iOS specific problems provide solutions to them using Objective-C. Which is fair, because Swift has not been around for that long. Anyway let us get started with a few basics, A few basics I would highly recommend having a read of this book...
