Mocking SceneDelegate for Unit Tests on iOS 13

Replacing the SceneDelegate When Running Unit Tests

Overview

I've been working through the exercises in the excellent iOS Unit Testing by Example book by Jon Reid, which I highly recommend. However, the book is in beta at the moment and there are some curveballs thrown by iOS 13 that aren't handled in the text yet. Specifically, when I hit the section about using a testing AppDelegate class I thought "This is very good. But what about the SceneDelegate?"

In Chapter 4 the recommendation is to remove the @UIApplicationMain decoration and make a manual top-level call to UIApplicationMain. To wit:

How to recover from messed up python installation on mac, and never have to mess with apple's python confusion factory

I am assuming you are here because like me, you installed a bazillion different python interpreters on mac and the whole thing is a spagetti. Today, I finally fixed my python installation. Whatever I install for python2 or python3 using pip JUST.WORKS.. My god! finally.

What the hell?

Here is what I had messed up, which you also probably did:

  • I had too many different python interpreters
  • Too many different symlinks which I lost track of
  • almost no package I installed with pip worked without a headache
  • any attempt to fix using online resources made it worse.

Emulating HKT in Swift
// This example shows how higher-kinded types can be emulated in Swift today.
// It acheives correct typing at the cost of some boilerplate, manual lifting and an existential representation.
// The technique below was directly inspired by the paper Lightweight Higher-Kinded Polymorphism
// by Jeremy Yallop and Leo White found at http://ocamllabs.io/higher/lightweight-higher-kinded-polymorphism.pdf
/// `ConstructorTag` represents a type constructor.
/// `Argument` represents an argument to the type constructor.
struct Apply<ConstructorTag, Argument> {
/// An existential containing a value of `Constructor<Argument>`
/// Where `Constructor` is the type constructor represented by `ConstructorTag`

iOS 16 Navigation API feedbacks

How to execute logic when NavigationLink is tapped?

FB10144005

Currently it doesn't seem possible to execute additional logic when a navigation link is tapped with the new NavigationLink(value:) initializer. When the link is tapped it updates path state all the way back at the root NavigationStack to drive navigation, but there are many times where we need to perform logic after the tap and before the drill down.

For example, after tapping a link we may want to pre-emptively load some data to show on the drill down screen. Or we may want to perform some form validation. Or we may want to track some analytics. This does not seem possible with the current link API.

A workaround is to use Buttons instead of NavigationLinks, but then you lose all of the styling and affordances given to links, such as chevrons when used in List.

If the API for NavigationLink cannot be changed to accomodate for this, perhaps a new ButtonStyle could be introduced that allows regular buttons to take on the sty
