Mixing
Unlock Content based on Day (iOS App with Xcode)
I am trying to get create an app where you can unlock a certain picture every day throughout the month of December, like an advent calendar.
So if the user is pressing the button for a certain day (all days have a button with their date on) the app shall compare the current date on the device to the unlock date. For example:
If the user is pressing the button for the 01.12.18 (dd.MM.yy) and it currently ist that day or any day later it shall display picture number one.
Else: (if the day isn't reached yet) the user shall see another picture, that says sth. like "You're too early! Please wait some more."
Any suggestions or example codes are very appreciated!
The prototype of the code looks like this:
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
@IBOutlet weak var dailyContent: UIImageView!
@IBAction func türchen1Button(_ sender: Any) {
// if 01.12.18 (dd.MM.yy) is today or past today
// dailyContent.image = picture1
//
// else if 01.12.18 (dd.MM.yy) is in the future
// dailyContent.image = pictureTooEarly
}
}
This app shall be a present for my girlfriend and I appreciate every help!
Thank you in advance!

- Assign the tags 1 - 24 to the buttons which represent the days.
Use one
IBActionand connect all buttons to this action.
@IBAction func türchenButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
In the body of the action get the current year and create a date of the corresponding button and check if the date is in the future
let now = Date()
let calendar = Calendar.current
let currentYear = calendar.component(.year, from: now)
let türchenComponents = DateComponents(year: currentYear, month: 12, day: sender.tag)
let türchenDay = calendar.date(from: türchenComponents)!
if calendar.compare(türchenDay, to: now, toGranularity: .day) == .orderedDescending {
// is in the future
dailyContent.image = pictureTooEarly
} else {
// is today or past today
dailyContent.image = picture1
}
}

We should get the date from internet/server, Otherwise, by changing phone DateTime content get unlocked. Thoughts @vadian?

@Satish Parse worldclockapi.com/api/json/utc/now to get the current date online.

Thank you very much for your help! it worked out just the way I wanted it to work :) But one question: When we will be in 2019, will the content still be viewable, or will it be crashing then?

It works in every year because thecurrentYearis retrieved separately.

Nov 19 '18 at 19:56
The code is supposed to work. Check if the tags are assigned correctly. For example printsender.tag
