Captain Danko’s JavaScript Lab — Code Smarter with Tutorials, Frameworks & Dev Insights

I was working with recording in iOS and I came across a rather strange problem with re-playing the recordings. What would happen was, I would record the audio, playback the recording, save the audio file and it would all work as expected. Now when I try to relaunch/redeploy the app from Xcode and try to playback the previously recorded file, it wouldn't work, the problem was that it cannot find the audio recording. As usual I have solved that problem and while I am not sure if it is the right way to do this, but my solution works and I am going to share that solution in this post along with some code samples. Hopefully it saves the next programmer stuck on this problem some time. Introduction I wanted to learn how to record audio in iOS using the microphone so as usual I did a search on Google for tutorials on these and I found some excellent examples on it. Among others the tutorial at   HackingWithSwift was one of the finest tutorials out there. Unfortunately the...

A few things have been happening on my end and in this post I will provide some brief info on what some of those things are, namely  A recent spike in downloads for My Day To-Do Lite My next app that I am working on The topic of my next technical blog post or what problem do I solve in it App Store Downloads I always knew about the power of ASO  and localised app name but only recently did I experience the power of ASO first hand. I released My Day To-Do Lite towards the end of December 2015 and it wasn't until September 2016 that I saw a spike in the number of downloads for it. To put this into perspective, the number of downloads I have had for the Lite version in September, October and the first half of Nov, 2016 were more than those combined of all the previous months since it's release.
