iOS Dev Tools: Testpiler, HelpKit, DeepLinkKit
New tools and conferences for iOS developers
Hey everyone! 👋
This is iOS Dev Tools weekly newsletter.
Each Thursday, I share the best tools for iOS developers.
Let’s connect on X (ex-Twitter) & LinkedIn! 🤝
📣 Reach iOS Developers!
If you build a tool that solves a developer problem, I would love to help you reach iOS developers - hi@iosdev.tools
Testpiler
Testpiler is an app that allows you to easily convert unit tests written in Swift from XCTest to the new Swift Testing framework. Simply add a folder containing your unit tests, or add individual test files.
You can preview a diff of the proposed changes so you know exactly what will happen. When you're ready, you can convert each source file individually, or convert all selected files in a batch.
Why you will like it:
Quickly migrate Swift tests using XCTest to the new Swift Testing framework.
Fine tune migration options to fit your code style.
Testpiler's migration engine is built on top of the Swift compiler, so it has a deep and robust understanding of your code.
We take privacy seriously, so Testpiler runs entirely on-device and your source code is not sent to any servers.
HelpKit
HelpKit provides developers for Apple platforms with the ability to add a Help screen to their apps with just a few lines of code. This enables users to quickly find answers to common questions that you may have been asked before to save on support time.
Why you will like it:
Simple setup with SPM (Swift Package Manager).
Create multiple topic sections.
Customise each topic with an icon, tint, images, keywords and links.
Add a get support action if user needs further help.
Optimised across every Apple platform.
DeepLinkKit
DeepLinkKit is a library that streamlines the process of handling deep links in your iOS app. It simplifies URL parsing, data extraction, and navigation to specific content or actions.
Why you will like it:
Easily handle deep links with minimal code.
Define custom routes and their corresponding actions.
Use regex for complex URL matching patterns.
Seamlessly handle AppLinks with dedicated accessors.
Get started quickly with comprehensive documentation and a sample project.
Benefit from an active growing community and dedicated support.
The library is actively maintained with regular updates and improvements.
