Xcode 12 ships with 5.3 but also drops iOS 8 support. This causes a warning ("The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 9.0 to 14.2.99.")
This is a major API change so is in a v2 branch. If we agree on a direction we could start adding PRs in to this branch.
This change would enable multiple changes to be applied at once, e.g. by requiring balanced calls to mappingWillBeginUpdating and mappingDidEndUpdating and only performing the updates when an equal number of mappingDidEndUpdating calls have been made. This could be a small performance improvement but would also improve animations.
By adding the performUpdate closure the changes to the model layer can be applied only when the consumer is expecting them, e.g. for UICollectionView this would be inside performBatchUpdates and would fix the existing crashes that occur when performing a change when there are pending layout changes.
Some tests and types have been commented out since this is more of a starting point for a discussion around the API than it is a solid implementation.
This is the closest I can see the API being (although it's still a breaking change) but maybe a bigger change would be better.
The biggest PITA is that the sections need to keep track of "current" data (e.g. what's being displayed by a collection view) and the "pending" data (e.g. what's about to be applied). I don't think this adds any memory overhead but it does add much more to the knowledge required when implementing a section.
This needs more tests to ensure full coverage, but also to prove that this was previously broken and is now fixed.
The added function is public because I'm using it to extract a subset of the entries in the archive that contains symlinks.
#185, possibly #62.
These were quite hard to track down since the errors that would occur would often be visual and not a crash, although in some scenarios it did seem to trigger a crash.
I think this highlights the need for a much larger test suite.
It also made me question the insert(_:at:) functions because it's not really clear what the index is. Should it insert it at the index in the context of the sections and providers (as it does now), or just sections?
For example, with:
If I insert a section at index 3 should it look like:
or
The tests are currently essentially empty but at a minimum this makes sure things compile on Xcode 11.7 and 12.0.
@shaps80 I think this will need updates to the repo settings to enable GitHub Actions.
Introduced in #9. #12 adds GitHub actions to ensure this doesn't occur again.
Previously there was no way to get the index of a child or even know if a Section or SectionProvider is a child of a ComposedSectionProvider.
On top of these functions new insert(_:after:) and insert(_:before:) have been added for convenience.
While working on the 2.0 update for Gathered I have been trying to develop the app multiple platforms simultaneously. SwiftUI will solve this problem in the future, but I wish to support some OS versions that SwiftUI does not support.
As part of this I have been creating UI tests to test performance, but ran in to an issue when running the UI tests on macOS using Mac Catalyst:
Running tests...
The bundle “PerformanceXCTests” couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources. Try reinstalling the bundle.
