Include Keychain in Device Backup

Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, the keychain information is transferred to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, the keychain can only be restored to the same iPhone or iPod touch. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)

Working natively with JavaScript in iOS and Android without WebView

Using JavaScript code from native code without using a WebView (sic!) can be really useful to introduce dynamic functionality that was updatable without need of updating the app shorter iteration cycles share code between backend and native iOS and Android apps You can have business logic provided by a JavaScript that then controls the app that inject native functionality in the JavaScript context. You could even write an A/B testing framework based on this approach. iOS iOS offers the native JavaScriptCore: Evaluate JavaScript programs from within an app, and support JavaScript scripting of your app. So you can evaluate a script and read its return value natively: context.evaluateScript(myLib); let result = context.evaluateScript("myFunction();") let myFunction = context.objectForKeyedSubscription("myFunction"); let parametrizedResult = myFunction.invokeMethod(...) Or you can inject a native object into the JavaScript engine: @objc protoco...

How to link to TestFlight App in iOS

There are two things you need to do. First, check to see if TestFlight is installed. Then create a new link to your app. NSURL *customAppURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"itms-beta://"]; if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:customAppURL]) {     // TestFlight is installed     // Special link that includes the app's Apple ID     customAppURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://beta.itunes.apple.com/v1/app/978489855"];      [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:customAppURL]; } This special https://beta.itunes.apple.com URL will be opened directly in TestFlight. Finally, if you are using iOS 9 (or later), you need to make an addition to your Info.plist to get the canOpenURL: method to work. If your app is linked on or after iOS 9.0, you must declare the URL schemes you want to pass to this method. Do this by using the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes array in your Xcode project’s Info.plist file. For each URL scheme you wan...

Tips for working with Firebase Remote Config

Caching As long as we're talking about loading strategies, let me hit on a related topic; caching. It sometimes confuses developers that values from remote config are cached for 12 hours instead of being grabbed immediately every time you call fetch(). And while you can reduce this cache time somewhat, if you start making network calls too frequently, your app might start getting throttled, either by the client, or the Remote Config service. Obviously, while you're developing and testing your Remote Config implementation, this can be inconvenient, which is why you can override the local throttling behavior by turning on developer mode . Force Update of Remote Config With Firebase Cloud Messaging, you can send a data-only notification to all of your devices, letting them know that there's an urgent update pending. Your apps can respond to this incoming notification by storing some kind of flag locally. The next time your user starts up your app, it can look for thi...

Great Teams Are About Personalities, Not Just Skills

The scientific evidence indicates quite clearly that individuals’ personalities play a significant role in determining team performance. In particular, personality affects: What role you have within the team How you interact with the rest of the team Whether your values (core beliefs) align with the team’s In our own work we found that psychological team roles are largely a product of people’s personalities. For example, consider team members who are: Results-oriented. Team members who naturally organize work and take charge tend to be socially self-confident, competitive, and energetic. Relationship-focused. Team members who naturally focus on relationships, are attuned to others' feelings, and are good at building cohesion tend to be warm, diplomatic, and approachable. Process and rule followers. Team members who pay attention to details, processes, and rules tend to be reliable, organized, and conscientious. Innovative and disruptive thinkers. Team members who n...
