@azamsharp The dev tutorials has an interesting one that uses a protocol and an extension of URLSession: https://t.co/0EjcDPqTeZ

@jacobtechtavern you forgot to present shareVC

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@jamesm Every Github page scrolls to top on it's own

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@MatManferdini It should be @.ViewBuilder var accessory: Accessory and it will auto-generate an init that takes a closure, executes it and stores it in the var. Which is the correct pattern for data dependencies.

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@MarwahaArihant @CarlosBBuild i use var id { ObjectIdentifier(self) } since the default id implementation changes between insert and save which screws up list animations.

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@BenGeskin Can it move?

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@daniel_nguyenx @janodev Try OutlineGroup instead of List then

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@daniel_nguyenx They seem to not know about Binding though

SwiftUI Tip 💡

In iOS 26.0+, use labelReservedIconWidth() to give labels a consistent icon width.

This keeps text aligned even when icons have different sizes.

@TheJerzWay Can you stay in a hotel with a girlfriend?

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@alpennec Kinda, think it's only dismiss window on macOS not sheet

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@alpennec "If people have unsaved changes in the sheet when they begin swiping to dismiss it, use an action sheet to let them confirm their action." double sheets???

@Robbieiscoolio @LidlGB And please bring back receipt search!

@bazzaclem @virginmedia If you use their whatsapp chat bot and choose cancel it’ll offer a new customer contract pricing probably a bit lower than £26.99 but contacts are now 2 years (They say to save you having to use the chat bot every year but I don’t find it that much of a hassle!)

@Spybef0rey0ubuy Buy high sell low

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@twannl @NilCoalescing A few mistakes there. @.State should not init objects its like a heap memory leak. async func should not be in class, if called twice it will corrupt any of the class's properties. Async funcs should return a result that is set on the @.State instead.

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@CarlosBBuild No way!

@ScotRail prize for most annoying thing ever is this pointless Wi-Fi survey no body is going to fill in accurately since it's asked every station every day:

[Malcolm Hall @malhal]

@alpennec @ekurutepe I haven't tried it yet either because installing random AI github projects seems risky these days given how big a target they are.
