Dev Notes: January 3 - 9, 2025

Work

Released new Android version 9.0 to production, currently monitoring crashes and ANRs.
Released a patch fix Android version 9.0.1 due to a couple of crashes I have yet to figure out.

Wrong analytics feedback

I noticed in the Mixpanel analytics that there was an unusual spike in the event “Sending Message Failed”. It turns out I have the implementation wrong.

if messageObservable.sendMessageStatus == .success {
     #if RELEASE
           Mixpanel.mainInstance().track(event: "Message Sent")
     #endif
} else {
     #if RELEASE
          Mixpanel.mainInstance().track(event: "Sending Message Failed")
      #endif
}

The sendMessageStatus has 4 cases, so every SendMessageStatus case except success will send the Sending Message Failed analytics. This should be fixed on the next version.

enum SendMessageStatus {
        case none
        case inProgress
        case success
        case failed
}

SwiftUI

Today I learned a quick implementation in gradient background. Gradient background is all the rage today, so let’s see if it looks good.

.background(LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [Color(.gradient1), Color(.gradient2)]), startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom))

Interesting Stuffs
