Published on February 22, 2022

WWDC 2021 has brought some exciting enhancements to Swift. One of the most interesting are the new mechanisms around async and await. If you are interested in this and don’t want to watch all the session videos to understand how the new toolset works, you are at the right place. I tried to extract the most important facts of all the new features in this article with easy to understand code examples. If you want to dive deeper I included a list of tutorials and references around this topic.

Published on March 12, 2020

Because RxSwift and Combine have so much in common I thought it would be a great idea to adapt the things I know about RxSwift and use them to create something new.

Learn & Master iOS Remote Push Notifications in 10 Minutes

Published on July 10, 2019

Remote Push notifications enable developers to present information to their users outside the app and to redirect them to the app if necessary. Important events will arrive in the form of badges, sounds or banners. But be careful here, too many push notifications may lower the retention and deter your users. When and how push notifications are displayed should be well considered, inflationary and unimportant notifications can mean death for a good app.

Learn & Master the Basics of IGListKit in 10 Minutes

Published on March 6, 2018

Anyone who has ever implemented dynamic lists in iOS will probably know that the official approach has some difficulties. Datastore and view layer have to be synchronized manually and during the update a certain order should be kept to avoid crashes. In addition, the classical approach is tempting to encapsulate the logic of the different cells in a large data source rather than separating them sensibly. To prevent these problems IGListKit was created. A framework developed by the Instagram team.

My first Cocoapod is here  — Jelly 1.0

Published on November 21, 2016

Yay, my first Pod is available for everyone. Jelly 1.0, a Viewcontroller-Transition-Animation framework that is super easy to use. I always wanted to have a public Github repository other people can contribute to and I found myself writing custom Viewcontroller-Transition-Code over and over again. So wouldn’t it be a great idea to create an easy to use Pod for that?

Swift! Optionals?

Published on June 24, 2016

If you are new to swift and to the concept of Optionals you may think that it's a little bit strange to have a special type for representing "something" or "nothing", but if you get the hang it comes really handy in a lot of situations.

iOS Code Signing and Provisioning in a Nutshell

Published on March 30, 2016

I am developing Apps for more than 3 years now and 1 thing that still annoys me is Code Signing and Provisioning in iOS. What are Signing Identities? Why do I need to create Provisioning Profiles and care about such things as a developer?
