Feature geofencing, overlays, pin-drop, notifications, protocols, optionals, mapkit, corelocations,
-
Stack swift 5, xcode 10.2
-
Takeaway
- blue dot aka real time location not showing. Didn't add my NSexceptions to plist.
- MKCircle is used for overlay
- a subclass cannot override instabce variables BUT it can override methods
- fileprivate/internal vs private. the latter is more restricted within a scope not file
- whenever you create an optional varaible proprty "?" than you have to unwarp it using if let or gaurd else
- ternary conditional operator condition ? something : something else - numArry.sort {$0 > $1} //sorts in decending order
- return multiple parameteres
- func nearestDealers(distances: [Int : CLLocation]) -> ( [CLLocation], Double)
- CLLocation vs CLLocationCoordinate2D - the former is a class, has varibles like the latter, has functions like .distance from, and can be init using lat long - the latter is a struct, has a few methods including CLLocationCoordinate2dMake - the former is smooves

Feature blue dot, oop
-
Stack swift5, xcode10.2
-
Takeaway
-
rename ib outlet once ib outlet is connected, to rename var, first disconnect the ib outlet from the inspector, then rename the iboutlett in the class file, then reconnect via hover.
-
mapView.showsUserLocation = true one liner for blue dot on simulator
-
LocationManager.startUpdatingLocation() one linner for blue dot on phone
-
a mapkit annotation is like the rain drop. looks dope on map.
-
startUpdaint call to dlegate is the same as didUpdate? gotta find out
-
Feature corelocation geofencing
-
Stack swift 5, xcode10.2
-
Takeaway - theres a method for a change in location prefernces. sean allen -beard guy- does it really well - <+37.62919127,-122.43325339> a real-time coordinate is fiven by lat long with upto 8 places after deciaml - locationManager.distanceFilter = 100 prevents constant update. save battery life
//import corelocation have corelocation delegate subclass
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()//constructor
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization() //we can ask this later
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
locationManager.distanceFilter = 100 //updates location once that distance is reached saves batterty life
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
for currentLocation in locations{ //current coordinate in freeway drive
print("\(index): \(currentLocation)") // "0: [locations]
}
}
add mapkit for blue dot on map//we need the corelocation code from above
//creates geofence
let geoFenceRegion: CLCircularRegion = CLCircularRegion(center: CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(43.61871, -116.214607), radius: 100, identifier: "boise")
locationManager.startMonitoring(for: geoFenceRegion)
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didEnterRegion region: CLRegion) {
print("entrer")
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didExitRegion region: CLRegion) {
print("left")
}
//other possible features to add are overlays, notifications and alerts etc.
Done Prior
-
Feature real time location, geofencing, notifications
-
Stack swift 5, xcode 10.2
-
Takeaway - a shortcut to .plist search shown by location pop up. Instead of searching the .plist file, run the ap. in the debug console the app required key for the .plist file(which is a preety v of XML) will show. Cp and turn up.
-
Feature p1: user location and update
-
Stack swift 5, 10.2 xcode
-
Takeaway - Blue dot isnt showing even when "mapView.showsUserLocation = true". This might be control flow, I feel its a one time xcode setting thing
-
Features auto-layout fundamentals, enums, oop, dictionary, tags, protocols
-
Stack swift 3 boiler --> swift 4 (build settings)
-
Takeaways - cp ~/desktop/test.java ~/documnets copies java file - Enum.possibity.raw value gives the value of = type - convrted Enum.(class varaible).rawValue using switch statement variable flow. - didSelect() is next steps for selected tableRow - METHOD 1: call performSegue() and define prepare(for segue...) later. Segues have to be created first. - METHOD 2: name identifiers for storyboard, vc this is prolly the move for large projects. call proceed() and dismiss() - to copy vc find the title on the left list and then cmd + c - UI: Storyboards > Scenes > VC - swift protocols are like interfaces in Java
```swift override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) { print("begin") //TODO: pass the sender to the destination view controller if segue.identifier == "showDetailCardJQKSegueID" { let vc = segue.destination as! DetailCardJQKViewController vc.cardRef = sender as! Card print("case 1") } else if segue.identifier == "showDetailCard8SegueID" { let vc = segue.destination as! DetailCard8ViewController vc.cardRef = sender as! Card print("dhhu") }
}
```
-
Feature switch images on same Imageview using dictionaries
-
Stack swift 5. xcode 10.2
-
Takeaway there is a way of accesing an IB colelction w/o literally looking it up in the order it was put in. At first I thought of a for loop to search for the tags in the entire collection but creating a dictionary from tag to image is most effieciant. I don't wanna spell.
-
Feature use enums, classes and oop fundamentals
-
Stack xcode 10.14 swift 4
-
Takeaway oop done right saves a lot of code
-
Feature Swift Classes. UIKIT. Great design w no assets.
-
Stack Xcode 10.2. Swift 5.
-
Takeaway Stronger Fundamentals of Swift classes.

}- when pushing this might pop up "git push --set-upstream origin feature/setup" copy and paste. no harm
- git branch -a to check the branch your on (will be green) and all other branches
- git branch -b ____ creates new branch called ____
- branch naming convention :" feature/_" where __ is the view working on
- currently in working branch
- git status
- git commit, push if git status is not upto date
- git pull
- git checkout master (move in to master)
- git pull
- git status (things should be upto date. if not delete proj and git clone before the rest)
- git merge ___
- git add, commit, push
- On github online goto repo. > insights > network > shoudl see this (master is always straight line)
- LASTLY git branch -d ___ (deletes branch)
- we don't have to "add, commit, push" so much. BUT xcode is something else. safe than sorry
- git config --list (checks current git account)
- git config -- global user.name " "
- git config -- global user.email " "
- some others pre-reqs: SSH for alternate to https and GPG keys for verified git commits
- git init
- echo "#repo-name" > README.md
- git commit -am" "
- create the git repo online WITHOUT a README. Then copy the code from the section that reads: "...or push an existing repository from the command line"
- git push (-u origin master)

Feature add a custom table view row from a different segue
-
Stack xcode 10.2 swift 5
-
Takeaway
- uibutton > attributes inspctor > system item > deault buttons
// this action is linked to a button on diff VC
// click on the button + cntrol and fimd the 3rd thing next to yellow moon AKA EXIT
@IBAction func done(segue:UIStoryboardSegue) {

Feature Real-time messaging app.
-
Stack Swift 4.2 and Google Firebase Auth.
-
Takeaway Chat logs can be stored w/o creating a real-time database.
- error: SWIFT_VERSION '5.0' is unsupported, supported versions are: 3.0, 4.0, 4.2._
- Fix : .xcw workspace > blue pod/proj file > build settings > swift lang > change to 4.2 or desirable
- error: Multiple commands produce_
- Fix : Open target > Build phases > Copy Bundle Resources and remove info.plist from there.
- Create Branch: "git checkout ____" creates subbranch from current head
- I am calling the sub-branch's origin branch parent. It could be called master, feature/..., releases, etc
- Parent branches shouldn't be tweaked while work is being done in subbranch
- Merge Branch: "git checkout" to parent branch. And then "git Merge" with the branch you currently working on. This merges the working branch with the parent branch. Afterwards checkout to working branch and merge with parent. The order is important.
- In the network graphics, working branches should be ahead of main branch before any merging. After merging, all tags should align with parent branch being a straight line all along branching process.
- In between each stage of merge/checkouts make sure to git pull.
- Also, do the merges from child's editor's computer for iOS projects. This gives us an option to 86 that branch without having to redo the project if there are any serious .plist / pod / XML merge conflicts.
