Pretty happy with this, always wanted the chart in the live activity and never got around to it. They’re also push backed now, and will update much more reliably. They can also be set up to start automatically when AQI gets bad.

I should build a shared UI library for Luka and Paku because they’re basically the same app.. monitor a number with a graph and a trend arrow 😂

They just approved an almost identical build that I rejected to add a bug fix before the release. Love to keep us on our toes.

I literally have the in-app search scheme app intent. Is this just still broken in the current beta or am I doing something wrong? Anyone have it working?

2/2 You can’t tell, but I’m long pressing in Find My. It does nothing. There’s an API for custom tab bars to do this too.

1/2 Apple built a custom tab bar for Find My but didn’t follow their own accessibility guidelines. Long pressing tabs when the content size is scaled up to an accessibility size should show a preview of the tab and allow selecting it, as you see in the App Store.

@mergesort you'll find extensions with constraints to optionals, so I think it'll work fine. I think there are internal tools to introspect if a view is EmptyView more easily than we have (or had, we have that new Group API now), so optional wasn't as necessary for internal views.

@mergesort another cool think about optional views is you can just place them in the view hierarchy and nil is transformed by the ViewBuilder into EmptyView

@mergesort now, assuming you’re ok with this design (which is just a design choice) yes, slots does exactly what you did in the gist, but automatically

@mergesort how would you feel if headerView was optional, and instead of where == EmptyView you used where == Never and assigned nil? Ignoring slots for a moment, I think this is a slightly better design that accomplishes the same thing, because internally you might want to adjust layout based on headerViews presence, e.g., in the body:
if let headerView {
Spacer()
headerView
}

@mergesort I think I understand what you’re trying to do, and instead of something like .empty I’ve used the type system for this; optional view properties get init variations where they’re omitted from the init, and they get set to nil (and constrained to Never, though you could constraint to EmptyView for the same effect).
I prefer optional views instead of views that may be EmptyView, because you can customize the layout based on their presence instead of checking the type.

@mergesort maybe you can describe what you’re trying to accomplish with EmptyView? Not sure *I* fully understand, but if I do I’ll try to explain it better

@mergesort I think you'll find that's exactly what this handles? Except you define optionality with true optionals, and the init extensions use Never to express optional slots instead of EmptyView (something I never thought of until Claude suggested it).
I suggest reading the readme, I don't know if my snippet fully captures the functionality. Curious if you still think this doesn't solve your use case.
