Firebase iOS Version breakdown
// How to:
// 1. Open the Firebase Analytics Dashboard
// 2. Scroll to bottom, where you see the "Users by Device model" widget
// 3. Click "View device models" in that widget (this opens the "Tech details" Firebase Analytics page)
// 4. Above the table shown in the new page, click on the “Device model” drop down menu and select “OS with Version”
// 5. Make sure to select “OS with version” and not “OS Version”
// 6. On the top right corner of the page, click on the “Share this report” icon (next to the date)
// 7. Click “Download file” on the new side bar, then “Download CSV"
// 8. Open the file and select the iOS/Android breakdown raw data
// 9. Replace the sample data in this script with your data

Using iOS 15 devices with Xcode 12.5 (instead of Xcode 13)
# The trick is to link the DeviceSupport folder from the beta to the stable version.
# sudo needed if you run the Mac App Store version. Always download the dmg instead... you'll thank me later :)
# Support iOS 15 devices (Xcode 13.0) with Xcode 12.5:
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/15.0 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
# Then restart Xcode and reconnect your devices. You will need to do that for every beta of future iOS versions
# (A similar approach works for older versions too, just change the version number after DeviceSupport)

Detect a tap on a URL inside a UITextView. Note: the rs_links method isn't included -- you'll need something that takes text and returns an array of detected links. This gist just demonstrates walking through the UITextView characters.
@implementation UITextView (RSExtras)
static BOOL stringCharacterIsAllowedAsPartOfLink(NSString *s) {
/*[s length] is assumed to be 0 or 1. s may be nil.
Totally not a strict check.*/
if (s == nil || [s length] < 1)
return NO;

This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…
