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...

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...
