Since iOS app extensions run as part of a host application rather than as part of their containing app (i.e. your app's extensions run in somebody else's app), data sharing isn't automatic. Finding standard locations like the documents directory doesn't work for shared data. In this post Tom Harrington goes through the details of how to make it all work. http://www.atomicbird.com/blog/sharing-with-app-extensions

Most mobile apps nowadays include some kind of a map that's dotted with markers - ATMs, gas stations or any other place relevant to the app's purpose. The problem is, when you put many POIs on the map, the view gets cluttered and the performance suffers.

Just before WWDC I answered an interesting question on Stack Overflow asking where to update the model value when following Core Animation best practices. It may sound like a simple question but it touches on deep topics like implicit vs. explicit animations, stand-alone vs. backing layers, and multiple animations.

AsyncDisplayKit is an iOS framework that keeps even the most complex user interfaces smooth and responsive. It was originally built to make Facebook's Paper possible, and goes hand-in-hand with pop's physics-based animations — but it's just as powerful with UIKit Dynamics and conventional app designs.

Xcode Server was introduced with Xcode 5 to provide a way to perform continuous integration through the creation of bots that automate the building, analysing, testing and archiving of projects. The bots can be created in Xcode on a development Mac and then run on the server. Since this requires OS X server it is a great way to use a spare Mac you have gathering dust. http://useyourloaf.com/blog/2014/11/02/continuous-integration-with-xcode-server.html

What does it mean to design for thumbs? It means building interfaces that are the most comfortable to use within our thumb’s natural, sweeping arc. But this gets complicated. We unconsciously adjust the way we hold our phones to reach certain controls in various areas of the screen. During any given day, I’ll wager that you stretch your grip, choke up on the phone, or angle it in ways that make reaching difficult areas easier. http://scotthurff.com/posts/how-to-design-for-thumbs-in-the-era-of-huge-screens

With iOS 8 came an exciting new API for creating interactive notifications. These allow you to provide additional functionality to your users outside of your application. There's currently a lack of clear examples online so Nick Jensen had done a post to show how easy it is to implement.

Have you been stung by Core Location when you ported your iPhone app to iOS8? All calls to locationManager:didUpdateLocations: stopped occurring (eg no more location events came in), and the prompt to the user asking for permission for location access stopped popping up. Something was definitely up. Unfortunately, there's no mention of any changes to CoreLocation in the Xcode6 release notes. Indeed, at the time of writing, even apple's class reference does not describe what you need to be doing yet: CLLocationManager.

Alamofire is an HTTP networking library written in Swift. Think of it as AFNetworking, reimagined for the conventions of this new language. Of course, AFNetworking remains the premiere networking library available for Mac OS X and iOS, and can easily be used in Swift, just like any other Objective-C code. AFNetworking is stable and reliable, and isn't going anywhere. But for anyone looking for something a little more idiomatic to Swift, Alamofire may be right up your alley.

Many developers had trouble using Gaussian blur as an overlay when iOS 7 first came out. It was kind of unintuitive — you had to snapshot a view, apply a filter to the image and then add this image to the view hierarchy, for example with the UIImageView. It’s gotten better in iOS 8, thanks to UIVisualEffectView. Unfortunately, creating custom UIVisualEffect subclasses isn’t documented, so I (Arkadiusz Holko - N.I.) had to use the old-fashioned way to create the motion blur effect.
