I made an Xcode plugin to draw all accessibility and style data for your views. You can use this to compare to designs or see where accessibility is missing.

Hi, I made a Swift Package to control a Robot during my XCUITests.

I attached my ARKit App to the robot so that I can reproduce movements during my integration tests, video after the jump.

Swift Package: https://github.com/nthstate/robotkit Sample App: https://github.com/nthstate/robotkitsample


I'd buy this


Most of my problems would vanish if there was an official way to run workflows locally, something like:

shell: run_workflow name=MyJob in=MyWorkflow.yml params={}


I guess you have to ask yourself what's in MyWorkflow.yml that can't be in a script and run locally?


Well, that's why the word "official" is in there. Obviously you could mock up the entire github actions scaffolding locally and have it inject environment variables and support all the actions and everything, but keeping that up to date will be a nightmare if you're doing it on your own.

Obviously you could put the whole CI/CD into a bash script and not use any features or functionality provided by github actions but there are plenty of nice things that it does and it would be a shame to not use any of them.


I didn't mention it in my reply but I was referring to the complaint in the article that the author wants to be able to debug locally without having to push changes to GitHub first. The top comment by MoreQARespect and others highlight the benefits of scripting as much as possible so that processes like builds and cutting releases can be run and tested locally.

> Obviously you could mock up the entire github actions scaffolding locally

Not sure if anyone's advocating for implementing GA entirely. You can at least automate project-specific bits as much as possible using scripts, and then have the CI environment use the same automation. That allows for more local debugging than overusing GA.

Hi, I'm Chris, I make tools such as https://www.haptrix.com, http://www.phonique.com, http://www.vectorflow.io. I also make Augmented Reality Apps like: https://www.climbdesigner.com


Hi, I've been using RealityKit for a while now, and whilst it's great, I've found myself wanting for more Debugging features, I've created this small Swift Package with the aim to help visually debug Transforms, Vector and Materials from within Xcode


There are so many great things on that site, thanks for posting!


Hi,

I've made an AR Route Setting app for iOS called Climb Designer, I've been working on it during lockdown whilst I can't go to the climbing gym.

The app has lots of holds/volumes & walls that you can place/stack anywhere.

You can change the color/texture/size of every item, and if you make a mistake, it supports undo/redo.

Using RealityKit Collaborative Sessions you can let a friend help you design a climb together.

Phones with Lidar scanners mean I can map your environment better, and even create a 3D model.

If you visit https://www.climbdesigner.com on your iOS device, tap a route, it will load in AR using Apple's QuickLook Technology

It's free on the AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/climb-designer/id985956922

Thanks for reading!


This is very cool! What do you envision as the applications of this app? Also, what is that wall made of? Funny coincidence, I also spent the lockdown + winter working on an app for gym climbing. You can check it out at https://www.cling-app.com/.

Best of luck to you!


You can hover/long press on the green traffic light item to tile your screen.


literally just discovered this yesterday myself for the first time - still prefer Spectacle, but nice that it’s there.


Spectacle is no longer being maintained. Rectangle [0] offers the same functionally and is OSS

[0]https://rectangleapp.com/


Oh nice, it looks good! Gonna try it out.

I’ve never had even a single issue with Spectacle so not really a big deal to me that it’s no longer maintained. It Just Works, from my experience - with that said who knows for how long, I guess.


When I first saw Rectangle, I thought I saw there was one Spectacle feature it was missing due to APIs. I'm looking now and it looks like it has everything I use, which is great.


I wrote an app to visually create Core Haptics, videos here: www.haptrix.com, I found working with the API to slow to experiment with.
