iOS Cell Registration & Reusing with Swift Protocol Extensions and Generics

A common task when developing iOS apps is to register custom cell subclasses for both UITableView and UICollectionView. Well, that is if you don’t use Storyboards, of course.

Both UITableView and UICollectionView offer a similar API to register custom cell classes:

public func registerClass(cellClass: AnyClass?, forCellWithReuseIdentifier identifier: String)
public func registerNib(nib: UINib?, forCellWithReuseIdentifier identifier: String)

OCLint integration with Xcode

1. Integration

Add a new Target of kind Aggregate, name it OCLint
Under Builde Phases, add a new Run Script Phase
Paste the script

2. Usage

Select target OCLint
Build the target (press ⌘+B)

	class FirebaseCoordinator {
	static let shared = FirebaseCoordinator()
	static let initialize: Void = {
	/// We modify Google Firebase (and eventually Analytics) to load the mac-specific plist at runtime.
	/// Google enforces that we have a file named "GoogleService-Info.plist" in the app resources.
	/// This is unfortunate since we need two different files based on iOS and Mac version
	/// One solution is a custom build step that copies in the correct file:
	/// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37615405/use-different-googleservice-info-plist-for-different-build-schemes
	/// However, this is basically impossible since Catalyst doesn't set any custom build variables, so detection is extremely difficult.
	/// We swizzle to modify the loading times.

	if ( self.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientation.Up ) {

	// We need to calculate the proper transformation to make the image upright.
