Simple code snippet today that show how to push a UIView and obtain the same effect of a UINavigationController as push action, choosing also the side (.fromLeft / .fromRight).
We can do this using the CATransitionanimations. Very simple:
func push( view: UIView, side: CATransitionSubtype = .fromRight ) {
let transition = CATransition()
transition.type = CATransitionType.push
transition.subtype = side
self.layer.add(transition, forKey: nil)
self.addSubview(view)
}
Enjoy pushing!

Send data between Apple devices (iPhone/iPad/macOS) using Multipeer Connectivity
Today I want to introduce an Apple framework, called Multipeer Connectivity.
“The Multipeer Connectivity framework supports the discovery of services provided by nearby devices and supports communicating with those services through message-based data, streaming data, and resources (such as files). In iOS, the framework uses infrastructure Wi-Fi networks, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth personal area networks for the underlying transport. In macOS and tvOS, it uses infrastructure Wi-Fi, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, and Ethernet.”
