Fun fact! Sometimes Apple engineers confuse dupes of Radars with the original ones:

Engineering has determined that your bug report (20549548) is a duplicate of another issue (20553126) and will be closed.

And that even though my radar has the zip file with the sample app attached and the alleged original only a reference to my GitHub RadarSamples repo. Oh well… as long as Apple fixes the issue, I am happy to give the win to Peter Steinberger. Fatality!

But, I have one more bug report up my sleeve! A similar issue occurs server-side when using CLGeoCoder, so I filed this as rdar://20665320 and on OpenRadar.

Again, this bug report comes with a beautiful sample app. This is the first bug report sample app I made in Swift. Only took me 4 times as long than if I made it in Objective-C, but a developer’s gotta do what a developer’s gotta do. 🙂

This has been bugging me for quite some time, since some of my address book contacts are affected. NSDataDetector does not properly handle addresses which have more than 2 numbers with one slash.

Previously, this issue was compounded by another issue in the geocoder which would take the apartment number (instead of the street number) for determining the geographic position. To workaround this I had to add another address to some of my contacts that didn’t have the apartment number. This seems to have been fixed in iOS 8.3, but NSDataDetector is still broken.

I wanted to add a custom modal transition for the prod.ly app when you tap on a thumbnail image. I wanted to make a tutorial about that as soon as understood interactive transitions, but stumbled over a couple of bugs.

Of these one I would consider quite severe and new as of iOS 8.3, which made it a show-stopper. As long as this bug is present I cannot add an interactive percent-driven dismissal transition to my app.
