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)

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...

Ionic app with a Django backend: Part 2 - The Ionic app

In this post, I will continue from where we left in Part 1 of this series.  In part 2, I will talk more about the front-end side of things. Ahh, I have a background in web development, hence I call this front-end, but that's not the most accurate thing to say in these modern times. So the right way to say this is, I will talk about the Ionic app in this Github repository(IonicAppWithRestBackend) in more details in this post. So what did we do in part 1? In part 1, we got to the point of running our backend on the web server that ships with Django . To refresh your memory, this is how we got the backend server running, Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/cptdanko/IonicAppWithRestBackend Navigate to the backend project directory cd IonicAppWithRestBackend/backend/python_django/restBackend/ Note: if you are using Windows, you may want to change "/" to "\" in the above command. Once there you can run the backend server with the follow...
