News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Damn it... I literally just wiped my iPhone completely because of this problem and am now restoring it from scratch. I wish I had read hacker news first!

Did it twice! Lost data too. Apples software quality has taken a very noticeable dive the last year or two. Being an iOS developer used to be very comfortable. It’s now become a real pain in many ways. Xcode being the worst.

Xcode 9 is definitely an area where I feel like it’s going in the right direction.

Xcode 9 promised a lot, but for me it has been a big disappointment. SourceKitService still ends up in an endless loop allocating memory and needs to be kill -9'd every 10 minutes. Switching git branches with a storyboard open often trips up Xcode and just now crashed my Mac completely. Apple software quality is not what it used to be.

How has it become a pain? Been doing. Stove iOS for a while and now I'm learning React Native, it's fun.

Same. I’ve done 10 or so apps in objc/swift and now 4 in RN and even though I know native like the back of my hand I much prefer RN.

Jsx and the rendering model of react is 10x better than constraints in code or storyboards.

Getting android nearly for free is just a cherry on top.

Wow you picked up RN early!

Right, and the faster development cycle with hot or manual reloading makes it really easy to be productive.

I just need to figure out a few integration issues like navigation within our native app and localization using our current native scripts, but all the newness and uncertainty is really exciting.

Sorry I just realized my previous message autocorrected to nonsense.

I'm surprised this hasn't spread more in the traditional news. It's affecting almost everybody that has an iphone which is half the population. I had to tell many of my friends that were cursing over crashing phones. Is it that they don't want to be seen as fist line support for apple?

Me too. Multiple iCloud backup restores, a couple Apple Watch erase and re-pair cycles, many hours wasted.

Me too. What an absurd bug.
