Re: [swift-users] [swift-corelibs-dev] NSKeyValueCoding and the Swift Foundation

2016-06-26 Thread developer--- via swift-users 
I have to agree with comments found at the link in this email about swift and 
entry level. I am a new  developer just finishing school…in school we were 
barely getting into objective c when swift was released. From what I’ve been 
told, the agreement between schools and Apple doesn’t allow schools to teach 
how to code in-app purchases. Ive gotten no real help from Apple developer 
support, found ONE video on youtube I’m still trying to make work. How does 
this help Apple OR people who have made the investment in Apple devices and 
school to learn to develop FOR Apple?? Why is Apple so unsupportive??

this is the response I got from Apple-

Thank you for contacting Apple Developer Technical Support (DTS). Our engineers 
have reviewed your request and have concluded that there is no supported way to 
achieve the desired functionality given the currently shipping system 
configurations.

If you would like for Apple to consider providing an iAP sample in Swift in the 
future, please submit an enhancement request via the Bug Reporter tool at 
>.

While a Technical Support Incident (TSI) was initially debited from your Apple 
Developer Program account for this request, we have assigned a replacement 
incident back to your account.

Thank you for taking the time to file this report. We truly appreciate your 
help in discovering and isolating issues.

Im posting this here because I wonder how many other people have experienced 
the same problem and how they’ve overcome it. I really feel ripped off. I chose 
to learn to develop for iOS for particular reasons, and now at the end of 
school, I’m about to graduate without having been taught an obviously vital 
skill that a developer should absolutely posses. I’ve looked for help in the 
developer forums to no avail…I’ve TRIED to make sense of what documentation I 
could find provided by Apple to no avail.  Ya see, my class had barely begun to 
touch Objective-C when Swift was officially released out of beta. The class 
immediately jumped to Swift. I have found a few online courses that say they 
teach what I need to know but I just don’t have confidence in these classes. 
Must I learn Objective-C to accomplish this?? Or does anyone here have any 
feasible solution to offer as advice?? If I had known that this precious skill 
would not be taught to me at this school, I would have sought alternatives. A 
rep at Apple told me that she knew of ONE school that was definitely teaching 
this material…of course it is out of my state and I cannot afford to go there, 
not even for 1 class to learn what I seek. I am in Texas.
Thanks in advance for any help :) ___
