Every iOS dev has heard that whisper:

"These fields look the same…you should build a form-engine."

Those who follow that whisper almost always end up with an over-abstracted mess.

Here's how to build reusable SwiftUI form components without the regret: https://t.co/Mk1qhl3crX

@Wyatt_Harrell Happy that you found it useful

@theIMEU This looks utterly terrifying

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

@nik6019 So I haven't personally used `performBackgroundTask(_:)` but from the docs it looks like it performs a similar role to the `backgroundContext` property on CDManager. On thing to note when using `backgroundContext`is to wrap any actions inside `performBlockAndWait`

@Skov41 😬 nervous moments - let me know if you hit any issues

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

@Skov41 I haven’t had the chance to try it out on a macOS app so I honestly don’t know. But if you do, I’d love to know of it works

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

@nik6019 Is this an open source project so that I could have a look at the code?

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

@nik6019 The flows that are escaping are those CD flows?

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

@nik6019 Ah so normally for me the “UI gate” is a screen with an activity loader and some text describing that the app is being setup then once that complete I swap in the “main” UI. That way I don’t need to perform any init checks around my CD ops

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

@nik6019 2. Is the scenario here that a background request has been triggered but before it completes the app has been terminated so that when it does complete, CD has to be setup again?

@DammerAmster I don't know how you could remove these messages from your network without uninstalling your browser and disconnecting your router. IMHO both of those examples look like legitimate uses of SSDP

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

Meeting a new group of people can leave a lot of us nervous and unsure how to act. It always helps to already know someone in the group.

What’s true for you is also true for your app.

In SSDP your app has a friend who can help make the introductions:

@DammerAmster Thanks. So the first screen, looks like your browser is attempting to discover if their is a device that it can stream video content to using https://t.co/EoLwdkoigD. The second one I believe is your router attempting to find any new devices that have been added to the network

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

@DammerAmster Interesting, could you paste the m-search message so that I can get a better feel for what happening and see if we can figure this out. Feel free to DM me

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

@alexg473 I’m really happy to hear that 😁

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

Migrating data is always a tricky task but Core Data has a reputation of having especially tricky migrations 🧐. It doesn't need to this way ☺️. In this post I look at how we can manipulate the migration process to make things easier: https://t.co/ZFT3YAJjne

@jrasmusson Thanks @jrasmusson that’s great to hear

If you find yourself needing to do manual Core Data migrations, this post by @wibosco is possibly the single most useful resource out there currently: https://t.co/p2h1r6g4yP

@brennovich @avdi Hey, thanks for pointing that out. I’ll remove the link to that video. Sorry about that @avdi

[William Boles 👨‍💻 @wibosco]

@twitmyassoff Oh that sounds really interesting, do you have a project you could link to where I could see this approach?
