Have I mentioned lately how awesome NSScreencast is? No? Worth the subscription. Check it out if you’re an iOS developer. Or even if you’re not and you want an example of how to do coding screencasts well.

Foster Bass

Got tired of dead-end googling so I checked to see if @NSScreencast had covered what I was looking for. Of course he had, 4 years ago. Should have checked there first.

Aijaz Ansari

One 13-minute episode of @NSScreencast just paid for the yearly subscription fee in amount of time saved. Do it.

Sam Soffes

Seriously great stuff even for seasoned developers. I’ve learned a good amount from Ben’s videos.

James Dempsey

You can really expand your development horizons in just a few minutes a week with NSScreencast.

Alexis Gallagher

Random PSA for iOS developers: @NSScreencast is a great resource, and worth every penny. It’s high quality, practical, and honest.

Nate Armstrong

Can’t say enough good things about @NSScreencast There is gold in the Road Trip DJ Series.

Karl Oscar Weber

I just reuppped my subscription to @NSScreencast. [An] indespensible resource if you’re into iOS or Mac Development.

Marcus Ziadé

Just finished @NSScreencast series on Modern CollectionViews. Strongly recommended. Programmatic UI, nicely structured code, easily approachable explanation style. 👌

  • Auto Login and Sidebar with Translucency

    #557

    macOS Mastodon Client

    We add the ability for the app to remember that a user was logged in, auto log them in w/ the saved credentials. We also add a sidebar to display the user's avatar, including a translucency effect that was not obvious at first glance how to implement. Finally we add auto-paging to the app so that the app will continuously fetch the next page when you reach the bottom.

  • Adding OAuth Log in with ASWebAuthentication

    #551

    macOS Mastodon Client

    In this episode we complete our log in functionality using the AuthenticationServices and the keychain. We'll also see how we will represented an authenticated session using a new type, so that other parts of our code will have everything it needs to make authenticated calls to the API.

  • OAuth App Creation and Keychain

    #550

    macOS Mastodon Client

    In this episode we lay the foundation for the OAuth flow with Mastodon servers. We'll utilize KeychainAccess as a wrapper for the Keychain API, so that we can store secrets in a secure way.

  • Working with the Keychain

    #428

    The Keychain is the best place to store sensitive data such as API keys, auth tokens, and login credentials. On device the data is stored encrypted. Once unlocked, you can retrieve the values you saved, keeping the sensitive data secured by the user's passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID. Using the keychain is not very straightforward, however. It has a low-level C-adapted API and is a little cumbersome to work with. In this episode we will look at how to add, query, and remove items from the keychain, then look at a popular open-source library for making storing values in the keychain much easier to implement.
