FIRST! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL. You are a hero of mine and please keep up with this fantastic work!

Very very happy belated birthday and thank you for being a great role model for the iOS community. You and many others have really helped me more than I could ever imagine. I appreciate it tons. I found when trying to use previews set it up first. I have much better luck with passing any example information in first to the preview and then writing out all the code and occasionally hitting command, option, p and r to resume it. Starting it up right away usually makes it cooperate better. It is a shame that they can be quite flaky though. Also, the “see this, not for you” had me dying of laughter. It is the perfect pitch to a freemium app model. Entice new users.

Loving this series thanks so much Paul and happy birthday! Maybe for "Build your third iOS app", if you can teach how to take photos and videos and make use of other sensors on the iPhone?

Hi Paul, I watched this video and the previous one of last year in a row, it's just amazing. Great pedagogy, makes SwiftUI a charm to learn. I've been programming in Swift for 4 years now, using UIKit and I'm really considering moving to SwiftUI completely now that SwiftUI has become so rich (which wasn't the case a couple of years back). Thanks again. When can I be notified when you do a live? is it through the BELL in your youtube channel? Thanks a bunch... BTW, love your dogs too ;)

Thank you very much Paul. It is a pleasure to watch your videos.

Really enjoyed and learnt a lot. Thank you Sir!

Great content as always, thanks Paul! 😃

Love your stuff Paul! Thank you!!!!

You are a real hero. Doing a charity stream on your birthday. What a guy. Thanks for being so generous. I'm just starting this video but I'm sure you are just as thorough as you were last year. I'm putting your bday on my calendar. Lol

Hey Paul, I have better luck with the preview if I do a build before I try to unpause the preview. Happy birthday, happy solstice, happy new year P.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏

We're waiting for this year app! Don't forget us :)

Happy Birthday Sir

thanks, nice tutorial. It would be nice if it shows date of the order in history. I will try to add that.

Is there a way for you in UKposts Studio to temporarily disable the chat during quizzes?

Thank you Paul....

done with the 1st one, ok im on for the 2nd one..

Paul, thank so much for these tutorials, they are incredibly useful ... even if it's your fault now I always say D-D-D-D too 😂

How did you know you needed to use the .tag()? Why do we need it?

Hi Paul! Just finished my first app with you, now onto this one! Loving learning from you! But many troubles with this one... Mainly, and namely: This worked last night. Tried again this morning -- magically cannot load menu.json. This is incredibly frustrating! EDIT: Well, I've something. It's not quite clear yet, but... When following a tutorial in a language you know nothing about, do not allow your OCD to change variable names because that's how you would do it. *Why? Something you don't see or understand might be dependent on those exact spellings!* In this case, I renamed variables that we were dumping from JSON into (those in Menu class for example) to snake_case, not realizing they were being used literally to find a matching string in the JSON. I had a mysterious error that wasn't immediately clear due to our `catch` -> `fatalError` statement in Menu.swift. I'm an idiot. My OCD really needs to chill. What I'm currently not clear on is where we tied those variable NAMES to the JSON entries with same name. I would expect to define those variables as strings, then search for a matching string in the json, as you iterate over the whole thing (python is the only language I know, and I started in Jan 22). Is the fact that our variable names were taken literally inherent to the decoding of JSON in swift? Is it expecting a swift-defined struct to put the items from JSON in, and the way it knows which JSON item is which is by the names of corresponding vars of the exact same name defined in the struct?

I missed this live, but it's great stuff Paul, thanks. I'm wondering about the difference between calling Type() and calling Type.init - presumably both create a new object of type Type?

Great video, one thing though: when trying the .searchable() part on the iPad and an iPad Simulator I can't get the search field to pop up the keyboard, works fine on an iPhone and an iPhone simulator. Does anyone else have the same issues?

Can anyone tell me how to change it so instead of the all the drinks being on the same screen, you make it so that each category eg, coffee, tea is a button that takes you to a list of all the drinks in that category? cheers

hello !i have a problem with image on programm, i see "hello world!" after implementation of all cod until 30 min of video:(

can you share code please?

I'll have to convert it to tea... the drink/elixir of the gods..

Hey Paul, while I was making this project the menu.json suddenly started giving the fatal error. I deleted the file and copied it again to the app folder but still it is giving me the error and the build is failing.

Maybe you should get a 2nd screen for the chat.

I got that error from 17:00 but only after maybe 1hr video tutorial and how to fix that error? fatalError("menu.json is missing or corrupt.")

Hi, can't download assets... link doesn't work

I've been having some trouble with this one. I have copied the code correct and got an error for .indices I had to fix with "id: \.self". But now I'm having issues with the app actually running and I'm only 50 minutes in. I have an error at @main on the main app file that READ "Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=2, address=0x7ff7bb19cff8)" I see a lot of stuff here that means absolutely nothing to me as far as this error goes. Do you think this was made with an older swift code or Xcode that is not quite compatible with what I'm writing now? (cause I've triple-checked my code to make sure I have the same as you do. but I may check again.) I'm in Xcode 13.4.6 and Swift 5 and SwiftUI. I can run the app but it is missing several pictures on the menu screen that are in the assets page. It also gives me an error "No image named 'flat white' found in asset catalog for..." But I have checked the file names and even rewrote the names and added them to the project again. I don't know if it is my computer's lack of power either. I am using a 2014 Mac mini with a 2.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM and a 500GB SSD (with 250GB free). No other open applications except for safari and Xcode. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I'm not sure if I should even continue with this project at this point? Or do I need a better computer? Any response is greatly appreciated. I am determined to learn more one way or another.
