Developers frequently convert measurement units. it seems simple, but juggling multiple units, internationalization, formatting, precision, and rounding can become complicated. luckily, apple's measurement api in foundation simplifies these tasks. fatbobman.com/en/posts/a-...

when data changes in the iCloudKit public database, Core Data with CloudKit does not update immediately. to prevent frequent refreshes, the system syncs public data every 30 minutes after the app is launched. fatbobman.com/en/posts/co...

To debug Core Data code in VSCode/Cursor, you only need to do two things: - use Xcode's Swift toolchain - after the first time or after adjusting the model, use a script to compile xcdatamodeld into momd and place it in the correct build directory fatbobman.com/en/snippet/...

`@GestureState` ensures seamless gesture tracking by automatically resetting after a gesture concludes. It restores your state even after interruptions, unlike State, which can't. fatbobman.com/en/snippet/...

Core Data provides four methods for data changes, but SwiftData offers only two and requires iOS 18+, limiting its flexibility. fatbobman.com/en/posts/ma...

How does SwiftData convert these code declarations into models that the default storage (Core Data) can recognize when using a purely code-based declaration? Understanding the underlying principles is very helpful for correctly creating models. 👇 fatbobman.com/en/posts/un...
