50: This Is Not Clear

Welcome to Code Completion, Episode 50! We are a group of iOS developers and educators hoping to share what we love most about development, Apple technology, and completing your code!

Also, join us for #CompleteTheCode and Compiler Error, two segments that test both your knowledge and our knowledge on Swift, Apple, and all things development!

Your hosts for this week:

• Spencer Curtis
• Johnny Hicks
• Dimitri Bouniol

Be sure to also sign up to our monthly newsletter, where we will recap the topics we discussed, reveal the answers to #CompleteTheCode, and share even more things we learned in between episodes.

How can you use UIViewController's updateViewConstraints() to quickly swap between very different view layouts?

// How can you use UIViewController's updateViewConstraints() to quickly swap between very different view layouts? override func updateViewConstraints() { // What goes in here? super.updateViewConstraints() }

Be sure to tweet us with hashtag #CompleteTheCode if you know the answer!

Compiler Error

This week's Compiler Error has a theme: Swift on Other Platforms
1 - DroidUI builds on earlier efforts to get Swift compiling for Android by adding interconnects to existing Java-based libraries so an entire app could be built.
2 - project1 is an attempt at implementing an x86 kernel completely in Swift that can run bare metal on Intel Macs and PCs.
3 - swift-embedded is a toolchain to compile Swift so it can run on a microcontroller directly with no host operating system.
4 - SwiftWasm is a toolchain allowing swift code to be compiled to WebAssembly, with full bridging to the DOM.
