0.1 Preview (July 1, 2016)

• List of things we added support for:
  • Support for copyWithZone in UIFont
  • Support for image, string and URL properties in UIPasteboard

  • Fix for Instantiating an NSError subclass throws an exception. #563
  • Fix for NSUserDefaults synchronize blocks main thread #561
  • Fix for KVO NSKeyValueObservingOptionInitial change event passes empty change dictionary. #568
• We’ve added a new Maps sample and tutorial to the WinObjC-Samples repo. Check it out now for guidance on replacing MapKit-based maps in your iOS app with XAML controls and Bing Maps!
• We’ve made some changes to the way the bridge handles touch input processing and made them available on the new ux/uxe branch. We made these changes in order to integrate XAML-backed UIKit controls with the iOS hit-testing mechanism and native responder chain, which results in a much more consistent, functional, and performant input model. The one drawback to this change is that iOS’s dynamic hit-testing functionality – i.e., the ability of any UIView subclass to override the hitTest:withEvent: method to redirect touch input – is no longer supported. The changes will be open to feedback for the next two weeks, after which they will be merged into develop and master.
