If you’ve followed this newsletter for more than a year, you know I attend the iOS Conf SG every year. Just like any other conferences, due to COVID-19, iOS Conf SG 2021 will go online. While I would miss the opportunity to meet the speakers and developers in person, I think this online conference would allow more people to attend. Early-bird ticket sale starts from Monday. I hope to see you at the conference.

As always, enjoy another collection of the iOS programming tutorials.

Regards,

Simon
