UI Tests with Xcode 8

Generic approach to iOS UI Tests in Swift

Page object concept

WWDC 2017 What's New in Testing
Xcode Automated UI Tests & NSUserDefaults

The solution I found was to write to the launchArguments property of my XCUIApplication instance in my test class, and then read that parameter in my AppDelegate class.

- Network data stubbing with Wire Mock
- Using data from mocks in tests
Instrumentation Testing Robots
- Libraries like Espresso allow UI tests to have stable interactions with your app, but without discipline these tests can become hard to manage and require frequent updating. In this talk Jake will cover how the so-called robot pattern allows you to create stable, readable, and maintainable tests with the aid of Kotlin’s language features.

Dark Theme (Dark Mode) in Android WebViews, WKWebViews and CSS

So your apps just implemented a shiny new dark theme and it’s looking 👌 There are lots of benefits to having a dark theme in your application, and having it consistent throughout your application allows for a great user experience. But what happens when the the user runs into a WebView in your app? Support: if (WebViewFeature.isFeatureSupported(WebViewFeature.FORCE_DARK)) { ... } Set: WebSettingsCompat.setForceDark(webView.settings, WebSettingsCompat.FORCE_DARK_ON) Current setting: val forceDarkMode = WebSettingsCompat.getForceDark(webView.settings) Joe Birch Assuming your question is asking how to change the colors of the HTML content you are displaying in a WKWebView based on whether light or dark mode is in effect, there is nothing you do in your app's code. All changes need to be in the CSS being used by your HTML content. CSS dark mode via :root variables, explicit colors and @media query: :root { color-scheme: light dark; ...

Understanding Automatic Reference Counting in Objective-C

Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) largely removes the burden of manual memory management, not to mention the chore of tracking down bugs caused by leaking or over-released objects! Despite its awesomeness, ARC does not let you ignore memory management altogether. This post covers the following key aspects of ARC to help you get up and running quickly.

Custom Launch Images with Storyboards since iOS 8

Earlier this week, tweets from Nick Lockwood and James Thomson alerted me to an as yet undocumented new feature in the iOS 8 SDK: you can now use a storyboard scene in place of your app’s launch images. Creating a Launch Screen File The launch screen file is displayed as a splash screen while your app is launching. It’s a single, atomic .xib file that uses size classes to support different device resolutions. It contains basic UIKit views, such as UIImageView and UILabel objects, and uses Auto Layout constraints. Xcode adds a default launch screen file, called LaunchScreen.xib, to your project. Follow these guidelines when creating a launch screen file: Use only UIKit classes. Use a single root view that is a UIView or UIViewController object. Don’t make any connections to your code (don’t add actions or outlets). Don’t add UIWebView objects. Don’t use any custom classes. Don’t use runtime attributes. You can add a launch screen file to an older Xcode project. To c...
