Fatbobman's Swift Weekly #017
Inventory of Data from the New Blog's First Month
Weekly Comment
On December 25th last year, my blog was officially launched after a redesign. A significant change in this revision was the provision of articles in both Chinese and English versions, and I also stopped updating articles on other technical platforms in China. A month later, from December 25th to January 23rd, the blog's traffic data showed significant changes:
According to Google Analytics:
UV (Unique Visitors) reached 14K, an increase of 156% compared to the previous 30 days.
PV (Page Views) reached 35K, up by 99.6%.
According to Baidu Analytics:
UV reached 18.3K, an increase of 234%.
PV reached 35K, up by 224%.
It is noteworthy that the proportion of Chinese visitors dropped from 75% to 33%, meaning that non-Chinese users now make up the majority.
The significant increase in traffic to the new blog was unexpected, and the trend seems set to continue according to the statistics.
My initial intention in creating the blog was to improve myself while sharing and interacting with more friends. Seeing more and more readers browsing my articles naturally fills me with joy. Although I hope my articles can be seen by more friends, I will still maintain my original intention in future creations, focusing on topics that interest me, are helpful to me and others, and are content-rich.
I look forward to exchanging ideas and progressing together with friends who are interested in SwiftUI, Core Data, and SwiftData through my articles.

Exploring SwiftUI Property Wrappers: @AppStorage, @SceneStorage, @FocusState, @GestureState and @ScaledMetric
In this article, we will continue to explore property wrappers in SwiftUI: @AppStorage, @SceneStorage, @FocusState, @GestureState, and @ScaledMetric. These property wrappers cover various aspects including data persistence, interactive response, accessibility features, and multi-window support, providing developers with succinct and practical solutions.
This article is the second part of the series exploring SwiftUI property wrappers. The first part is Exploring Key Property Wrappers in SwiftUI: @State, @Binding, @StateObject, @ObservedObject, @EnvironmentObject, and @Environment. The series comprises four articles, aiming to comprehensively overview the functionalities of all property wrappers in SwiftUI.

Case insensitive string comparison in Swift
This article discusses various methods of performing string comparisons in Swift programming, particularly emphasizing the importance of considering case sensitivity. In conventional practice, developers might tend to simply convert strings to the same case and then compare them using ==. However, this approach has significant limitations and can lead to performance issues. Natalia Panferova suggests more recommended methods that not only ensure the accuracy and efficiency of comparisons but also take into account the differences in users' cultural backgrounds.
Unit Test the Observation Framework
This article explores how to effectively conduct unit testing on the Observation framework in iOS 17. Jacob Bartlett points out in the article that traditional techniques used for testing @Published properties are no longer applicable to the new Observation framework. He demonstrates this through unit tests of BeerViewModel under both Combine and Observation frameworks, revealing strategies for adapting to the new framework. Additionally, Bartlett provides a helpful utility function, waitForChanges, designed to simplify the testing process within the Observation framework and enhance testing efficiency.
Interactive Widgets With SwiftUI
This tutorial, written by Alessandro Di Nepi and provided by Kodeco, offers a detailed guide on how to implement interactive widgets in SwiftUI. By integrating interactive widgets into an app named Trask, the article vividly demonstrates how enhancing interactivity can improve the functionality and user experience of widgets. Additionally, the tutorial delves into various types of interactive widgets, as well as the best practices to follow in designing and developing these components.
A simple fastlane setup for solo indie developers
This article provides a guide on how to set up fastlane for independent developers, aiming to automate the uploading of builds and metadata to the App Store. Jesse Squires shares his extensive experience with using fastlane in team settings, as well as his process of setting up fastlane from scratch for the first time. The main focus of the article is to offer a simple and efficient method of configuring fastlane for solo developers.
Insight on the changes to Apple policy in the EU from the Revenue Cat webinar
Recently, Apple's new App Store policy for the European Union region has garnered widespread attention. Against this backdrop, Gabrielle Earnshaw shared some key insights from the Revenue Cat webinar.

肘子的话
去年 12 月 25 日，我的博客经过重新设计后正式上线。这次改版的一个重要变化是提供了文章的中英文两个版本，并且我也停止了在中国其他技术平台上更新文章。一个月后，即从 12 月 25 日至 1 月 23 日，博客的访问数据呈现出显著的变化：
根据谷歌分析：
UV（独立访客）达到 14K，相比之前的 30 天增长了 156%。
PV（页面浏览量）达到 35K，增长了 99.6%。
根据百度分析：
UV 为 18.3K，增长了 234%。
PV 为 35K，增长了 224%。
值得注意的是，中文访客从占比 75% 下降到 33%，这意味着非中文用户现在已经占据了大多数。
新博客取得如此显著的访问量增长是我没有预料到的，且从统计数字来看，这种增长趋势还将持续。
我创建博客的初衷是在提升自我的同时与更多朋友分享和交流。看到越来越多的读者浏览我的文章，我心中自然感到一丝欣喜。虽然我希望我的文章能被更多朋友看到，但在未来的创作中，我仍将保持初心，专注于我感兴趣、对我和他人有帮助、内容充实的主题。
我期待着通过我的文章与对 SwiftUI、Core Data、SwiftData 感兴趣的朋友进行交流，并共同进步。

Case insensitive string comparison in Swift
本文探讨了在 Swift 编程中执行字符串比较的多种方式，特别强调了考虑大小写敏感性的重要性。在常规做法中，开发者可能倾向于简单地将字符串统一转换成相同的大小写形式，然后使用 == 进行比较。然而，此方法存在明显的局限，并且可能引发性能上的问题。Natalia Panferova 提出了更为推荐的方法，这些方法不仅确保了比较的准确性和效率，而且兼顾了用户文化背景的差异。
