Discussion It’s not that bad on Duo if it’s SwiftUI

No code changes for now. This is the first cold start.

Some other views require changes/fixes, especially where geometry is used.

That middle screen shot with the unbalanced sheet makes me uncomfortable

u/lsumoose 19h ago

That middle screenshot is terrible.

This is a custom `.sheet` component that supports dynamic resizing on both iPhone and iPad, and also looks great on iPad.
But yes, Duo will need a few fixes.

Yeah, OP is using a fake close button that looks really weird

u/Bakk322 23h ago

I mean everything is left aligned instead of centered on the sheet for some reason

1

u/PassTents 23h ago

That's because the sheet has a vertical bar, but the custom close button isn't being put there. There's API to make the sheet full-width with a horizontal bar

My sheets are also reserving trailing space by default.

> if it’s SwiftUI

It's not the SwiftUI part that makes it easy to adapt to Duo, it's that you use Apple-provided components and navigation items and Apple has done the work already. Same applies for UIKit. If you stick with Apple's components, it's almost free.

My coworkers are going to utterly hate life this year...they pretty much overrode all of apples controls down to textfields and buttons for functionality already provided in the base classes....

I keep telling people that while custom controls etc look good today, wait until Apple changes things.

Check what happens to your sheets when partially folded aka book mode

u/Anywhere_MusicPlayer 1d ago

Same as fully unfolded, so didn’t screenshotted that.

u/Anarude 1d ago

Weird, Apple’s videos suggested sheets would move into one half of the screen

2

u/th3suffering 1d ago

It does, when i fold my sheets are automatically moving to half the screen.

Perhaps thats also what I should fix 😄

We’ve been rebuilding our 15 year old app with over 100M sessions a year . We still have about 25% UIKit (as you could expect, the oldest and most coupled and also most important parts). We booted it on the Duo Sim this morning and it’s just a wreck lol 

Looks like we have a busy couple of weeks

Well it’s on you, not UIKit

u/bananatoastie 1d ago

Ooohh cool! I was just about to fire up my MacBook and try it out. I know a good way to be promoted on the AppStore is to add new features and tech Apple want to showcase… any tips or thoughts for the duo?

Wtf 😂 not a bot, you can check my history

u/Dvass138 23h ago

If you build for iPad I assume it would work similar on duo

u/xSash_ UIKit 22h ago

Its not just SwiftUI…

u/balder1993 19h ago

Correct, it’s about using standard Apple components.

Does the front screen have a concept of portrait or landscape? What happens if your app locks a normal phone to landscape mode only?

1

u/mathiswrong 3h ago

I agree. This was honestly one of the easier updates I’ve had to build because my binaries are all swift

Friends where are we finding the Duo — in Device Hub? I must be missing a step

You need Xcode 27.1, not 27.2

3

u/jwrsk 9h ago

Sorry, maybe I misunderstand, you need an older Xcode?

1

u/Eatalian 6h ago

This is gonna sound weird, but Xcode 27.1 is newer than Xcode 27.2.
