Storyboard project all programmatically

1. New Project Storyboard
2. TabBar07> Info > DELETE Main storyboard file base name row
3. TabBar07> Info > Application Scene Manifest > Scene Configuration > Application Session Role > ... > DELETE Storyboard Name
4. Delete the Main.storyboard file > “Move to Trash” (gray)
5. Clean build folder

• Source: Heavily leveraging the TabBar-Tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoQb6Dy6l04)

Get Object Type

• type(of: [what_ever_object_you_want_to_determine_type]) print("Selected viewController: \(type(of: viewController))") // Print the class type which will be UIViewController

Add operations to main thread

Most commone an concise way:

DispatchQueue.main.async {
    // UI updates go here
}

• This method is used for other OperationQueue.main.addOperation {}
  • In complex scenarios where you’re using multiple background operation queues, and you need to execute something on the main thread after the background tasks are done.
  • When managing dependencies between tasks or providing cancellation logic with Operation.

Simulators

Simulators are mounted on my computer here: /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Images/

LocationManger

• see LocationFetcher07 app and GitHub repo

Method: startUpdatingLocation()

• Provides continuous location updates.
• Stops when the app is terminated.
  • can work in background
• High battery consumption.
• Continuous: Starts updating location and continuously sends updates via the delegate.
• Synchronous in the sense it continuously runs until stopped.

Method: startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges()

• Tracks significant location changes.
• Works even when the app is terminated.
• Moderate battery usage.
• Continuous: Monitors significant location changes and sends updates via the delegate.
• Acts like an asynchronous event trigger when a significant change occurs.

Method: requestLocation()

• Fetches the location once and then stops.
• Does not work when the app is terminated.
• Minimal battery usage.
• Asynchronous: It requests the location once and calls the delegate method upon completion.
• Suitable for one-time location requests.

CocoaPods and Sentry

These notes may be missing some earlier steps because I already had CocoaPods and Sentry in another project. But this is what I am doing 2024-08-22.

Install Sentry via brew

• make sure yopu havea arch -arm64. I check this by just typing arch in the terminal and response was "arm64".
• install command: -install getsentry/tools/sentry-wizard && sentry-wizard -i ios

navigate to Project folder

In this case I was in the root of WhatSticks13iOS

• terminal command: pod init
• this creates the Podfile that looks like this:

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'WhatSticks13iOS' do
  # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for WhatSticks13iOS

end

Modify Podfile

This is what I will try now to match with the minimum deployment and the project name for WhatSticks13iOS

platform :ios, '17.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'WhatSticks13iOS' do
  pod 'Sentry'
end

Install CocoaPods

From the terminal in the project root do: pod install

• After running pod install, Xcode creates a .xcworkspace file. Always open this file (instead of the .xcodeproj file) when working on your project from now on

Get DSN from Client Keys and place in Project

Settings > Team > Project > Client Keys

• Team in this new case is: "nick-rodriguez-911def83e"
• Project: "what-sticks13"
• Then I placed it in the Config.Swift file replacing the value for sentryDSN property.

implementation

• Inside AppDelegate

import UIKit
import Sentry

@main
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.
        print("- in AppDelegate -")
        SentrySDK.start { options in
            options.dsn = Config.sentryDSN
            options.debug = false // Enabled debug when first installing is always helpful
        }
        return true
    }
    // more code/methods
}

• Try a crash out: SentrySDK.crash()

• For more information see the /Learning/zNotesDocs/Sentry20230913.docx file

adding Error Symbols

1. Sentry.io website logged in as you.

2. Left panel under your name “Settings” > "Team" >

3. Click on “Custom Integrations” link next panel just inside form Settings

4. Click “Create New Integration”

5. Choose Type: “Internal Integration”

6. Settings:

   1. webhooks: I left empty
   2. Permissions Project: Read & Write
   3. Permissions Issue & Event: Read & Write
   4. Add "New Token" for use in step #7

7. Download Sentry CLI terminal command: curl -sL https://sentry.io/get-cli/ | SENTRY_CLI_VERSION="2.20.5" sh

8. Locate the .xacheive files

   1. You will need the path. Mine was: "/Users/nick/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/2023-09-02/TuRincon 02-09-2023 09.11.xcarchive"
   2. To find it go to your Xcode project > Window > Organizer > Select and Archives > then right click to “Show in Finder”

9. Link in terminal:

sentry-cli debug-files upload --auth-token [insert_token_from_custom_integrations_here] \
  --include-sources \
  --org nick-rodriguez-911def83e \
  --project apple-ios \
  "[enter_path_and_file_name_of_.xcarchive_file]"

• example of a file path: /Users/nick/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/2024-08-19/WhatSticks13iOS 19-08-2024, 19.05.xcarchive

Delegate Method Pattern

Allow a child UIViewController to call a method of its parent UIViewController. Child UIViews can have have delegates to parent UIViewControllers. The general steps are:

1. Define a protocol (the delegate) that declares the method(s) to be called.
2. Have the parent view controller conform to this protocol.
3. Assign the parent view controller as the delegate of the child view controller.
4. Use the delegate in the child view controller to call the method in the parent.

ChildViewController.swift

import UIKit

class ChildViewController: UIViewController {
    // Define the delegate property
    weak var delegate: ChildViewControllerDelegate?
    override func viewDidLoad() {}
}

protocol ChildViewControllerDelegate: AnyObject {
    func didTapButtonInChildViewController()
}

ParentViewController.swift

import UIKit

class ParentViewController: UIViewController, ChildViewControllerDelegate {
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

Troubleshooting:

maybe something with cocoapods?

• Sandbox: rysnc.samba
  • Solution: Targets > Build Settings > Build Options > User Script Sandboxing set to “No”.

simulator

This problem arised from react native expo app not finding the Xcode iOS simulator

1. check xcode-select -p
   1. if the path is /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools probably needs to be changed to recognize this as the path by:
   2. change path sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
