One of the most popular posts in my blog is the tutorial for creating a Pop-up window with iOS SDK using Objective-C. Since then many readers reached me out asking for a Swift version of the Pop-up. In general the process is exactly the same in Swift (except the language used to write the code of course...), so I am not going to dive into the process of creating the .xib files again.

Over the years, iOS developers have used various tools in order to record screencasts for their apps. Starting with OS X Yosemite this process became much easier. Using the built-in Quicktime app in iOS Yosemite, we can now easily record our iPhone's or iPad screen. The steps are pretty straightforward.

As almost all Apple developers, I was excited with the announcements Apple made in WWDC this year. Lots of new stuff, a revamped OS X experience, a new iOS version with refinements for the end user and great new APIs for developers and a whole new programming language: Swift. Last year Apple completely redesigned its mobile operating system, leading to a lot of criticism, although most reviews where positive. iOS 7 was new and fresh but in many ways it seemed like an unfinished product.

During the WWDC keynote last Monday, Apple unveiled the next version of OS X. The new version of OS X is called Yosemite and alongside a new design it comes also with great features. So let start with the design. I have to admit that after the radical redesign of iOS 7 last year, I expected the same thing to come to the mac with Yosemite. I expected a completely flat look, very simplified -even childish- icons, with translucency in some places to give a sense of depth.

In WWDC 2013, Apple introduced Xcode 5 and iOS SDK 7 with a built in framework for testing: XCTest.framework. Unfortunately Apple documentation lacks details for this framework. In this post I am going to present a simple way to test a UITableView using XCTest framework.
