Adding a no animation segue to iOS

If you want a view to just appear without any animation or transition in iOS then this quick tip for you. First off you do not have to code a custom segue like is suggested on several sites. All that is required is selecting the correct preset segue type and changing a simple setting. Selecting Present Modally and unchecking the Animates checkbox. That all that is needed to have the new view just appear without any animation or transition. That much easier than writing a custom segue.

iOS Xcode Auto layout device preview

When layout of a unversial app in Xcode for iOS, there a way to preview the unverisal layout on all apple device sizes within Xcode at the same time.

I been working with Xcode Swift with several companies and pretty much all of them never knew this could be done. It is a great little tip and I felt it is worth sharing with the world.




Enjoy and happy coding ;)

Xcode swift tip: Access to docs fast

I discovered a faster way to access docs for a certain item already in your code. For those who may not be aware of this tip I like to share it with you, because I think you may like it.

Say you want to know what available to use for UIViewController. my simply command clicking on that text in the code editor will bring up the header file for the selected item. This making it super fast to find what you could use.

The Example below shows the UIViewController with a command click.

This will make the header for this class appear in the edit view.

This makes finding info to what you need to use extremely fast and helpful. I find it better than searching the help Api docs as it returns everything for the selected item.

Thanks, and happy coding ;)
