IOS Development Utility

Introduction:

工欲善其事, its prerequisite! Good assistive tools can make our development journey more effective. Next, we introduce several development aids that bloggers are currently using.

Tips:

Most of the good tools are charged, of course, you want to use it without spending money, it is not not, just need you to pay some effort to look for. Here, it is not convenient to provide how to operate.

If you find these tools to be very troublesome, you can contact me in a private tweet. However, are peers, in the software reasonable price and can accept the case or from the formal channels to get better,

Peace of conscience, ease of use, and can enjoy the software follow-up Update Services.

What exactly is it?

1:paintcode

Paintcode is a drag-and-drop can be used to generate some simple graphics, of course, if you have enough imagination, you can also make a very good icon, the official released a number of graphic production demo.

The ultimate goal of making these patterns is not to generate image resources, but to generate objective-c code. Copy the generated code to the DrawRect function to execute, and you can display an icon with the same effect.

This allows developers to quickly work on drawing. The icon is implemented based on the drawing to minimize the size of the app installation package. and easy to achieve multi-color skin changing function.

Of course, the premise is that you have a certain cartographic ability, but I think this tool to let designers learn to use. To maximize their effectiveness. And we developed to use, at most, to assist in drawing some simple graphics.

2:scroll Reverser

Scroll reverser is a help to get used to Windows, or from Windows to the Mac platform will not be willing to change the scrolling direction of the user prepared!

OS X started syncing the Gesture scrolling page and the mouse scrolling page with the iOS platform at 10.7, but it's quite natural to use it on mobile devices, but it's very twisted on the PC.

So, if you want to get back to your old habits, you can use it.

3:iexplorer

Iexplorer is a powerful tool designed to browse the internal files of a iphone,ipad device, or it's a brute force tool, why? Most tools that view internal files require a device jailbreak to properly browse and copy files. and Iexplorer is not required to break the prison can be intact to browse the files in the device, for example, we want to put all the songs in the music cached in the QQ to take out, so that iexplorer can all panoramic view. But keep it low!
Of course, this is just one of the important features. More powerful features can be viewed on the official website.

4:simpholders

Simpholders is a gadget that can help developers quickly navigate to the iOS Simulator sandbox folder, and often we develop apps that have a lot of files to store in the sandbox, and we need to go through the files in the sandbox very often during development, and this directory is too deep, most critical, In time you finally get into the sandbox file directory, when you choose your specific view of the app sandbox, but also tangled. Because these app folders are named after the name of the UUID, which is meaningless for our location, there is no way to just click to see if it is the app sandbox you want to see, every time to go there feel like climbing a mountain so hard. and Simpholders 's appearance is to help developers solve this problem, use later, we just think about it, we have reached the top of the mountain. It's all right.

5:opera Mobile Emulator

Opera Mobile Emulator Primarily for developers working on mobile Web projects. You can configure a browser of any size by using some of the built-in initialization settings on the software. This is a convenient way to simulate the display of real-world phone sizes. This speeds up the commissioning and, when you need two of these, you don't need to prepare two phones. You only need to configure two sizes of the interface.

6:code Point

Code Point is similar to the functionality of the Xcode -enabled Open Quickly to help us quickly locate class files and resource files for review.

It has the following key features:

1: Quick start with code point built-in shortcut keys
2: Automatically record recently-located files.
3: Intelligent Fuzzy Search, even if you hit the wrong a little bit, it does not matter, Code Point can also help you find.

And it's open-source: Https://github.com/macoscope/CodePilot

Using code point takes a while, but when you're used to code point, you'll find that it's so much more useful. 7:versionsVersions is the most awesome SVN code management tool on Mac, the interface is beautiful and easy to get started, the blogger himself likes its icon design very much.
You can create a private svn repository locally, quickly connect to the cloud SVN server check code, view the commit record, and compare the changes to the record. It's all easier than you think.

8:imageoptim

Imageoptim can compress PNG images to save space. Most PNG files can be omitted by a few percent of the size, sometimes even 30% or more. Smaller images mean smaller app sizes and less memory for loading them at run time

9:fetcher

Fetcher can help you simulate HTTP requests. For example, the server side has defined the access links and the corresponding parameters. We can quickly test this application to see if we have reached our expectations.

10:fly It remotely

Fly It remotely can quickly release applications in just two steps, which is great for apps that are still in beta. You don't need to send a message or send a client to every person who needs to download and install the app.
You only need to send a short link generated by Fly It remotely . Open the address via your phone and download the app directly after a simple tour. One word: Praise!

11:kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope is a very easy to use file comparison tool under Mac, it is not only to compare files, but also to compare pictures and folders, most crucially, it can be integrated into the mainstream version management software together with:

12:unused

Unused can help us find the image resources that are not used in the project, the most important of which is visualization. Support for finding formats is also more comprehensive.
