Diligence

SwiftUI About Screens

Overview

Diligence is a lightweight Swift package with a collection UI controls for building about screens for macOS and iOS apps.

Build Numbers

Diligence supports build numbers conforming to the following structure:

YYmmddHHMMxxxxxxxx

• YY -- two-digit year
• mm -- month
• dd -- day
• HH -- hours (24h)
• MM -- minutes
• xxxxxxxx -- zero-padded integer representation of a 6-character commit SHA

These build numbers are guaranteed to be always incrementing and, as such, safe to be used for iOS and macOS apps while also encoding the build date and commit.

If Diligence detects a build number in this format, it will display this additional information in the about screen.

Generating Build Numbers

Diligence comes with a Swift command-line script that can be used to generate suitable build numbers. From the root Diligence directory, run the following command:

scripts/build-number.swift
221021001716408432

This can be injected into your project build by building from the command line and setting the CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION environment variable. For example, the command line to archive a release build for the TinyBoard project is as follows:

BUILD_NUMBER=`diligence/scripts/build-number.swift`
xcode_project \
    -scheme "TinyBoard" \
    -config Release \
    CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION=$BUILD_NUMBER \
    archive

Caveats

Diligence currently makes some assumptions that will be addressed in future updates:

• Diligence expects to find an image asset named "Icon" in your application's main bundle containing your icon.
