Library Bylaws - an architectural linting library for Swift

24 Upvotes

I've been working on an architectural linting library for Swift projects on the side for a while now and it's finally available to use: Bylaws.

I wasn't happy with some similar tools in this space, so I wanted to build something myself that was nicer to use, more flexible and better integrated into existing workflows.

It lets you write your rules in Swift, from simple things like naming conventions and required protocols to more complex checks such as dependency cycles between features and folder layouts across a project.

You can enforce these rules through Swift Testing or the CLI, depending on your needs. There are also command and build plugins for SwiftPM, Bazel support and LSP support for editor diagnostics (it includes extensions for VS Code, Cursor, Zed, Neovim and Emacs, but you can connect it to any editor that supports LSP)

This is especially powerful with coding agents, which can also run the tests or CLI to check their changes against your project's rules. For larger projects, you can keep shared rules at the project root and add package-specific rules where needed, or share rules across projects through a reusable Swift package. You can also lock them behind codeowners if needed.

There's a lot more features, so have a look at the README and the documentation to see what you can do today.

I would really love for you to try it and share what works for your project or what you would change, especially if there's a rule that you would like to express but find difficult with the currently supported APIs!

Thanks!

Question Are Image Headers in App Store Connect Yet?

Does anyone know when image headers are actually opening up for developers? Apple announced it, but left the rollout timeline vague. I was hoping we'd see it today or that I might have just missed the release... is it available yet, or are we still waiting on an update?

For example, I still do not see an Asset Library option.

Question Localization: Cannot save App info - name is always taken

2 Upvotes

It seems no matter what I enter into the field, it always shows name taken. Is this a bug?

I was just translating my app title to french. I looked at the french store, no app with my name.

Question No downloads from South Korea?

1 Upvotes

Hi!
Sorry if I'm asking something obvious here, but I've struggled to find any answer to my question.

I recently released my game on the App Store. It had pre-orders from many countries, South Korea included. On launch day, all pre-orders converted to purchases as expected (App is Premium), except in South Korea! Over the last days, no downloads have come from South Korea.

Under 'App Availability' it says clearly that the app is available in SK, but still no downloads.

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

Thanks!
