iOS Autolayout

Leave a reply

UI is my weakest link in my Software Development journey. But with iOS Autolayout, I am getting a slight taste of the challenges faced when designing the User Interface. My biggest challenge right now – designing for both iPAD and iPhone. Designing just for iPhone has become complicated enough given the range of devices – iPhone 5s to iPhones XS Max.

Photos App

Leave a reply

I will start off with the positive – I very much like the “Photos” app on the iPhone and also on the Mac. I have been using it as my primary tool to manage my 200K+ images. It took me a while to realize that not all my updates and changes are actually pushed and sync’d all the way immediately.

For example, when I add a new pix to my album, that actually does seem to get propagated all the thru almost immediately. Even some of the metadata, i.e., Geo Location, Key words etc are also saved and pushed almost immediately. Where this does not seem to happen is in the case of defining / identifying a face.

Dev Workstation Setup

While there is an emphasis on the “dev” portion of my workstation – mostly because there is more of a need to ensure the various tools and their compatibility is maintained. I do want to clarify that I use the same workstation for my personal stuff too.

Imported Music not Showing Up on My Phone

Leave a reply

Steps I have taken so far.

To troubleshoot:

  • Check other devices with my account to see the imported music – PASS
  • Looked under the “Recently Added” section
  • Searched for the “Artist”

To fix:

  • Closed the app
  • Closed the App and closed the phone (did not shut / power it down)
  • Switched WiFi network
  • Turned WiFi Off and back On
  • Went to “other” WiFi network
  • Closed all Apps and left the Phone being Charged all night (from a little after 2 till about 6am)
  • Eventually power cycled the Phone (after having had tried all the above steps)
