Swift iOS is a fast-evolving programming language used for developing iOS applications. Swift is a simple, easier to code, safe, and secure programming language that promises better productivity and quicker app performance. Swift is also noted for easy deployment and onboarding of apps with minimal manpower.

Popular apps for iOS, such as Twitter, Khan Academy, LinkedIn, Pandora, Vimeo, etc are entirely developed using Swift.

Find our latest blog https://lnkd.in/dMxk2vT5 on Native Swift iOS here to get a sneak peek into this technology. Stick around for more on this.

Today, Swift is the go-to language for iOS app development. If you are one of those aspiring to switch to Swift or develop a high-performing app for apple platforms, think no further. 

I’m trying to branch out on resources and took a listen to the “Swift Unwrapped” podcast episode 86 “Tuples”, available on most podcast providers and online.

~~~~~~~~~~

Difficulties using in arrays when want to pass to things conforming to organization protocols

No conformance to codable, equitable, hashable

No elegant solution found yet

Interestingly c++ tuples are equitable but not hashable

Limit of 12 items in a tuple 

more than you should ever need

Having non-nominal type with 12 members over named struct? Not preferable

 What is threshold for stopping & creating named type?

4-5, slap a name on that bad boy

Public APIs returning tuples 

Too hard to use generally 

Can’t extend that

Documentation

Being unnamed makes them unwieldy to refer to in conversation & documentation

Not suited for public api use, but nice for a structure for a subset of an algorithm

Once you start crossing data boundaries with a tuple it begins to lose its power

Can add labels, but at that point, would a struct be more appropriate?

You Can name the members of a tuple when you create it

Adding labels means autocomplete will only show the labels but you can still refer to them by index 

In swift can have very locally scoped nominal types

Gives a nearly anonymous named struct or class

It’s rare that a tuple can give you new powers that a strategically placed struct would not

It’s Easier to add a member to a struct than a tuple

Can’t have a tuple with no elements, can have a struct with no members

Need to provide a unique hashable identifier: You can create an instance of hashable empty struct and every other instance of that struct will match, but nothing else will. Gives type safety because there’s no way even if named same something can give the same identifier.

Performance concerns using struct over tuple?

Minor size diffs of name and debug I do for a struct vs tuple, but that’s nearly insignificant for most applications

Tuple might not be able to be bit packed the same way as structs for size optimization

Order is important in both structures

Tuples with different labels don’t impact equality or hashability

Can compare 2 tuples with same value types but different label names

Issues of not having a type, if using tuples and have a 3D point tuple and an rgb color space tuple swift would let us compare them even though that makes no sense to do

If it’s important to define semantics of a type that matches the type signature of another, name it!

Cannot treat tuples like collections (think array  protocols)

C fixed length arrays imported as tuples in swift

But do we want to add more complexity to something that should be rarely used?

Flutter Vs Swift, It is the battle of cross-platform mobile app development SDK (Flutter) and native app development language (Swift) for creating iOS apps. Many mobile app developers often debate for one side over the other regarding native app development and cross mobile app development approach. There are pros and cons to both. However, most times, it comes down to your project requirement and demand by the clients.
