Yup! Notch position, length and depth along with many more properties use RelatableValue that can take absolute, relative or mixed values.

Finally updated ShapeUp to 1.0.0! Create corners using relative anchor points, apply corner styles, move/rotate/scale/mirror them with ease, add notches along any edge, and wrap them in a CornerShape that is automatically insettable and animatable. #SwiftUI #iOSDev github.com/ryanlintott/...

Playing around with liquid glass on custom shapes. This is regular glass with a 10% pink tint. You need a background for the glass effect to work. The highlight effect seems to be using a Capsule shape and not the provided shape so it looks a bit weird. #SwiftUI #iOSDev #WWDC #WWDC25

It’s a Transition animation. Not sure how you would do it in UIKit but here’s the SwiftUI code.

var transition: AnyTransition {
if reducedMotion {
.opacity
} else {
.asymmetric(insertion: .move(edge: .trailing), removal: .move(edge: .leading))
.combined(with: .opacity)
.combined(with: .scale(scale: 0.5, anchor: .bottom))
}
}

The arrow is using the secondary colour. Also, in my case I'm not using the weights for their typical purpose.

Ryan Lintott @ryanlintott.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Time to see if this SF Symbol trick will work... #iOSDev #IndieDev #BuildInPublic

SF Symbol export dialog showing a bow and arrow pointing upward symbol. The ultralight version has the bow drawn with an arrow in it and as the weight move to regular and black the bow releases the arrow moves up and away.

I'm extremely proud of how Pediapal came out, and it's such a personal milestone of mine to ship an indie app. I'm excited for folks to use it, and I'm excited to continue to grow it. It all started as a way to help me with my family, so it is my earnest wish that it will help you with yours.

I never realized if available erases to AnyView. I see why it has to but I imagine it might create performance issues.

Ryan Lintott @ryanlintott.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

I'm guessing that if # available translates into buildLimitedAvailability inside buildif so the outer statement is giving you an optional.

Ryan Lintott @ryanlintott.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

I think the second option reorders the logic in a strange way and it wouldn't work if you had multiple else if branches. I'm impressed by your effort to make it work by abusing the strange workings of ViewBuilder though. The second closure doesn't even look like valid code!

110

Ryan Lintott @ryanlintott.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

I really like the first option. I was trying to get ViewBuilder to work in that way but I kept thinking the other branch would be EmptyView() and not nil so it wouldn't work for me. I think I'll adopt that version but keep the ifAvailable name as I like the reminder to avoid other if statements.

Genmoji is the gift that keeps on giving.
