Build A Simple iPhone App - Part 5 (final!)

So the last part was really productive and rewarding. It put a lot into context and made sense, especially with the use of the random numbers within the array to select the colours and facts. The next part seems to be more about testing and running the app on an actual device...

 Running on Device

 OK, I've set this all up no problem - had to change the OS to an earlier version as my phone is not updated! I've also gone back and figured out the colour of the button label issue - I never actually added it as a weak var. So now that part of it will work!

Adding an App Icon

This is just a set of images to add, then the system displays the right image in the right context.

Well something's gone wrong - I can't seem to get mine working. One option is to keep all of Pasan's code the same and just replace the facts. I'll try that.

So that's it for now! I can't connect my iPhone to Xcode properly - something to do with my Apple account, which is something I will need to solve for another time. I have no idea why the build failed when I connected the button across, but to be honest, it was all working fine without that final aspect of colour changing with the button display. Moving forward, I am going to complete the Error Handling course next - that will mean that all of the Beginner Swift, plus the make iPhone App sidestep courses are done. Before moving on to the 'Intermediate' course, I want to use a few of the Udemy ones I've purchased - get a good grounding with more examples etc, build up my experience so I know more in context. It's really helped me make sense of things so well worth it!

*Xcode Project Entry 2* F1 Quiz - part 1

Image
It's Christmas Eve and time to code! To think, a year ago, I was plodding along with some eBook, blindly convincing myself that I was on a steady road to coding greatness. Really, it was from June where I made the decision to start again, humbling as that may seem. It would have been comforting to have completed endless 'beginner' courses but branching out and applying the theory is the key thing, which brings us to this entry. Yes, my second Xcode OWN project! I thought about doing an educational one, as there is certainly a lot of scope and relevance for that, being a teacher and all. However, making a quiz makes sense, for various reasons.  First off, I have made this before through Angela's excellent tutorial. No offence to Sandra, but hers is not even close to the elegance and effectiveness of Angela's project. The one thing to take from Sandra is the stack views. Definitely something I will use from now on. This is one of the great things about learning from...

Angela Yu Course Part 10 (up to lesson 112)

It's unlikely that I'll be able to do any Swift tomorrow as I'm going to Eastbourne today, for the weekend. So I can give half an hour now, maximum! Coding Challenge - Destini App! Choose your own adventure books! I used to ADORE these. Angela explains that these have had some sort of revival through the Lifeline games. It's very binary - yes/no mostly. I have my own experience of this based on WDC... Now the challenge is to complete the game! Having followed the first few instructions, which I found a bit confusing it must be said, I was about to surrender and see the answer. Then I managed to stop myself - I CAN do this, or at least have a good go! Even if I don't get the correct answer, it will be good practice to put what I know into practice. This is my weakness, which I keep coming back to - that when some problem solving is required, I fold far too quickly. So here is what I need to do: Let's break this down... I need to use the...

Angela Yu Xcode 12 Course - Part 7 (lectures 74 to 79)

No time to waste! Only got a short amount of time now so going to get a few minutes or so in! Start Time - 20:14 Conditionals If statement for 'love calculator' example. So a simple example for this. The idea will be that conditionals are used to show that the print statement will do it differently for whatever the number is. With updated Swift, I would use the Int.random(0...100). Easy fix that would be. Also no UIInt32 needed but just an Int. So with the if statements, it would be a STRING being returned.   Linked to the whole choose your own adventure - if/else for each choice. BMI Challenge No need to do this - easy enough to be honest. Just skimming through. BODMAS principles... So something I picked up on before is not needing the greater than AND less than value for the middle line (for the else if bmi > 18.5) A better solution, which Angela is already explaining before I could say it is returning a string instead of a Double. So the...
