UI/UX Designer from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
I have been wondering about this for a long time,
When I eat Bhel Puri for 35/—rupee at Hotel ‘A’, but I order the same Bhel Puri from the same hotel ‘A’ through Swiggy, it is shown as 50/—rupee at the MRP price.
Why these discrepancies? I even saw Swiggy’s user base repeatedly asking them the same question on Twitter.

Today, I used Adobe XD for the whole day. I felt it was competitive to use the Sketch app on Mac.
I have avoided using Adobe XD all these years because Adobe Subscription Tax usually costs me INR 5,000/—here in India. But I loved Sketch App’s payment model, which is almost INR 5,000/year. Then, you can renew your subscription or use it without updates as long as you want.
I loved Adobe XD’s compatibility and integration with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. It is really smooth and well done. Adobe XD’s prototype tool is smooth.

The best advice I ever received about designing logos and symbols is to use humanistic elements/curves/lines and avoid mechanical drawings. The computer can handle mechanical drawings.
This advice was given to me by Shirbhavikar sir and Pawar sir when I was doing my BFA in Applied Arts at Sir J. J. Institute of Applied Art.
It seems I don’t totally follow this advice in my drawings/designs and illustrations. Even after four years of graduation, when I met Mahendra Patel sir at his SID office, he told me the same.
(more…)I had been planning for a long time but never implemented Google Analytics for my Apple iOS Apps to get accurate data about my app usage. I thought it was more work to implement analytics in the app with a framework using cocoa-pods, which would, in a way, slow down my app performance.
But with the news that Apple is taking privacy and data collection seriously, with online ads for Safari Browser on Mac and system-wide privacy settings on Apple iOS 14 for iPhone, I am happy that I never implemented a third-party analytics framework or added an ad network to generate revenue from my apps. My apps are already paid, and I don’t want to mess up user experience with impromptu in-app advertisements.

After I started syncing my Apple Music to my iPhone via the Finder app, I repeatedly received an error.
The error was ‘Some items, including “Song’s Title”, were not copied to the iPhone “John Appleseed’s iPhone 11 Pro” because they could not be found.’

Since the iPhone X, Apple has released various sizes of iPhones with a notch.
So, Identifying new iPhones that have a notch or don’t is a new problem for every Apple App Store App Developer. Apple just released in 2020 with iPhone 12, Pro, Pro Max and Mini, which are not similar in screen dimensions to previous generations of iPhone 11.
After reading and surfing the web, I found two helpful articles that will guide you to solve this problem: one post on Stack Overflow and another article by @cafielo.
However, the code shared in both articles above was incompatible with new Apple iOS versions 13 and 14.
So I rewrote those code that may be compatible with Apple iOS 13 and 14 operating system.

After releasing the new macOS Catalina or any other Mac operating system, I sometimes prefer a clean install of the latest operating system on my iMac / MacBook / MacBook Pro or Mac Pro.
I back up all of the current user home folders on external storage, such as an external hard disk or solid-state drive.
Once the operating system is installed on ‘Macintosh HD’ and an admin user account is created on Mac, it’s time to start transferring data from the external drive to Mac’s user home folder.
Once you have an account setup, follow these steps to transfer music.
Step 01: Copy your old ‘iTunes’ folder to your user’s Music folder located at e.g. User > Music > iTunes
Step 02: Hold down the ‘Option’ key while opening the Apple Music app from the dock or application folder. You will be presented with a dialogue box called ‘Choose Music Library. ‘ Now click on the ‘Choose Library’ button.
