Today I learned
- Order matters in a timer! In my app, I have a timer that does a few simple things. Before I fixed it, it first subtracted a second from my
secondsRemaining variable, and then it checked to see if that was 0. I was getting a weird bug that would make the GUI pause just enough to notice at the last second. SO I rearranged a few lines to do the if secondsRemaining <= 0 first, and nest the subtraction line in an else block. Fixed the pause! YAAAAAAAY!
- I’ve had this same silly issue on a few versions of this timer for ages. It never really just clicked to try a slightly different order on the timer. This is amazing.
- I still may be getting a bit of a Off By One bug somehow? Ugh.
- This is has been a major feature I’m adding for the MVP. I feel like there may just be one or two small things I want to add and then go through for Accessibility.
- I wonder if it’s okay to link to the BuyMeACoffee thing in the app? I’m not sure IAPs allow for a "I like your app, have a $1" type things. That is something I gotta figure out. A simple redirect/deep link?
Other things?
I let my developer account lapse due to budget reasons, so it looks like it’s time to reactivate it. Also, I wonder if it’s better to publish an app under a business name or my personal name?
