This week, we're setting our sites tools that amplify Swift development. Dive into Control Room for intuitive simulator management, Kingfisher for efficient image handling, and SwiftLint for code quality elevation. Let's explore these transformational tools.
Control Room - Simulator Command & Control Reinvented for macOS
Control Room enhances your iOS, tvOS, and watchOS simulator experience. It offers easy control of UI appearance and status bar configuration, plus versatile developer tools. It's built on Apple's simctl command-line tool and requires Xcode 14.0 or later and macOS Big Sur. Contributions to this open-source project are encouraged.
What we like about it:
Streamlined control over iOS, tvOS, and watchOS simulators' UI and status bar
Packed with versatile developer tools for a comprehensive simulator experience
Rooted in Apple's robust simctl tool for reliable performance
Encourages open-source contributions, fostering a collaborative developer community

SwiftLint - Elevating Swift Code Quality Standards
SwiftLint is your go-to tool for enforcing Swift style and conventions. Loosely based on the archived GitHub Swift Style Guide, SwiftLint enforces the rules that are commonly accepted by the Swift community. This tool utilizes Clang and SourceKit to tap into the AST representation of your source files, ensuring more accurate results.
What we like about it:
Enforces widely accepted Swift style and conventions
Utilizes Clang and SourceKit for accurate results
Offers flexible installation and usage options
Works with multiple Swift versions and as a pre-commit hook
