Tim Chaten was kind enough to invite me to chat about my app Captionista, iPad and Mac on episode #177 of iPad Pros podcast where we talk about the app’s origins and the challenges with social video captions and subtitles in general
Another in the long serious of little niggles with SwiftUI popovers on iPad. This time, it’s more serious but there is a workaround. If you show a sheet the user can interactively dismiss these on iOS, but they can also cancel the dismissal by bringing the sheet back up near to its “shown” position.
Turns out if you force the colour scheme of your app to the opposite of the device's current scheme, popover corners on iPad anti-alias badly.
I tried to add hover effect to the iPad UI for Captionista but... SwiftUI has issues with this.
After solving the problem with SwiftUI adaptive popovers on iPad not dismissing properly on iPhone or in compact split view on iPad in Captionista, I noticed something… If you show a modal sheet on iPhone, if you look closely you can see that the view behind does not shrink backwards as it would with a native UIKit modal presentation since iOS 13.
