Radar: [Xcode] Quick Help no longer shows documentation from imported module

Oct 03, 2017

I found this new issue when developing a framework for a client. I have all Swift code in a module and added nice documentation comments to all of the public methods and properties.

In Xcode 8, you could Open+Click on any property, class or method and you would see the documentation from these comments. This would work regardless if you are in Swift or Objective-C code.

Now with Xcode 9 that suddenly doesn’t work any more from Objective-C code. In Swift files it still works, both in the module itself as well as an app importing it.

Filed as rdar://34789767 and on Open Radar. The mentioned sample is on my Radar Samples GitHub repo, titled InterfaceTest.

Coach or be Coached

Jun 29, 2017

About a year ago, I got contacted with an unusual request: how can users with iPhone to participate in WebRTC video conferences?

All other desktop browsers  already did support WebRTC, and Safari on Mac needed a plugin for it. But Mobile Safari never supported Flash or any other plugins. But I knew how to achieve this and this resulted in the development of the Klickerr.com app.

Since Klickerr.com launched today, I would like to tell you something about it. Besides the question how I solved the riddle, you might like it as way to offer coaching services for pay to an international audience. Or you might be interested in learning new skills from international experts.

I’ve been testing and wanting to use PSPDFKit’s PDF Viewer ever since I signed up for the beta. But I had a weird issue opening PDFs from Dropbox or iCloud; I would only see the option to add a new PDF, but no way to import a PDF from the cloud.

Group by, Count and Sum in CoreData

Apr 02, 2017

For a tvOS app I needed to efficiently group by a certain column and then count the resulting rows or sum the value. And since I do everything in Swift 3 these days, I couldn’t find any suitable example on line. But I eventually figured it out.
