Today, I want to share different configuration techniques for Xcode projects with you for different environments like; development, beta, QA, pilot, production, etc.
First of all, ❗️ do not use targets for environmental configuration purposes.
Let’s start with creating a new Debug and Release configuration for each of our environments. Like; Development Debug, Test Release, QA Release, Test Debug, Production Release, etc.
What Is a CharacterSet?
a CharacterSet is a struct defined in Foundation Framework. It represents certain character arrays like;
- decimal digits (CharacterSet.decimalDigits)
- white space characters (CharactersSet.whitespaces),
- lowercase letters (CharacterSet.lowercaseLetters)
- illegal characters (CharacterSet.illegalCharacters)
- punctuation characters (CharacterSet.punctuationCharacters)
- and many more.
How To Know What’s Inside a CharacterSet?
Unfortunately, the CharacterSet struct doesn’t have a method or property to get characters by default, but fortunately, we can extend ChracterSet struct to get characters from it.
Let’s look at what’s inside a sample CharacterSet.
As you can see, CharacterSet.decimalDigits CharacterSet includes decimal digit characters from many different languages, also in emoji form.
You can look at the documentation for the list of predefined CharacterSets. …
Let's create a ListView with section headers in React Native.

menuSectionName : 'Classic Pizzas',

{
itemId : 1,
itemName : 'Margharita',

itemPrice : 3.95
},
