SwiftData, Apple’s long-awaited new framework for data persistence, was finally announced last month at WWDC 2023. I say long-awaited because I’ve been waiting for a Swift-first version of Core Data for almost an entire decade, ever since Swift came out in 2014.
If you’re like me, you often have multiple versions of Xcode installed. One or two beta versions, a stable version, and maybe another version in case the most recent stable version has something weird about it.
Displaying the app icon and version in your app is a great way to provide users, both internal (e.g. testers or stakeholders) and external, with a quick and easy way to identify both which version and variant of the app they are using.
