Why Core ML will not work for your app (most likely)

While the buzz around newly released Apple framework is loud, I want to explain several things, that may not be obvious for those who are new to machine learning (ML).
  1. Core ML is not a machine learning framework.
  2. Core ML supports only two types of ML.
  3. If your models are proprietary or contain sensitive information, you canā€™t use CoreML.
  4. Core ML doesnā€™t solve the privacy concerns.
  5. Core ML doesnā€™t compress models.
  6. Core ML is not the only way to do machine learning on iOS.

Learn Machine Learning, not Core ML.
Impervious Invisibility

Googleā€™s AutoML lets you train custom machine learning models without having to code

Server-driven UI (SDUI): Meet Zalandos AppCraft and AirBnB Lona

A short WTF: Joe Birch:  SERVER DRIVEN UI, PART 1: THE CONCEPT Zalando seems to follow the SDUI principle as well - defining a common design language and construct the screens on the backend while displaying them natively on the clients. They even go one step further; they implemented a mighty toolset to enable non-technical stakeholders to define their own native app screens Compass: Web tooling to create screens and bind data Beetroot: Backend service that combines the screen layout definition with the data Lapis/Golem: iOS/Android UI render engines Crazy cool! Good job, guys (when you do an open-source release?) To even move faster a Flutter based UI render engine implementation was great!

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

So your apps just implemented a shiny new dark theme and itā€™s looking šŸ‘Œ 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;      ...

Android with Kotlin, iOS with Swift, Kotlin Native, flutter.io, React Native, PWA, Xamarin, Hybrid - which way to go?

Currently there are tons of frameworks how to get your business model to the user... and in the app store Full Native Android with Kotlin, iOS with Swift Deepest integration Single way to make sure that you have no lock-in effect with a framework, and you are f**ed, when Apple or Google disallows the usage of a specific technology... Two teams required 2x code PWA (Progressive Web App) Write offline- and push-capable PWA with web-technologies only Some native features might require hybrid native development and bridging (like In-App purchases, AR, ...) In best case: One web team only for website and app Maybe some native specialists for special features Kotlin Native Develop a shared framework with or without UI using Kotlin Native Additional native code will most probably be required Big Android team, small iOS specialists flutter.io (React Native | Xamarin | ... ) One codebase (flutter: Dart, React Native: JavaScript, Xamarin: C#) Additional native code ...
