Replace `UIScreen.main` to get display scale on iOS 13.0 and later (#2215) #2216

hyun99999 · 2023-10-18T06:23:22Z

UIScree.main will be deprecated in a future version of iOS.
I used window.windowScene.screen to get display's scale.

developer doc > mian already deprecated. It causes serious errors in the near future.

So have to change another way. And window.windowScene.screen is the one way of getting display's scale. That is available from iOS 13.0. This is why control flow has iOS 13.0 condition.

Resolved: #2215

+        return window?.windowScene?.screen.scale ?? .zero


Is there a way to provide a reasonable fallback, similar to UIScreen.main.scale, rather than just .zero? Returning .zero for some reason would result in a very broken experience.

UIScreen.main.scale has several values taht each device display.

For Retina displays, the scale factor may be 3.0 or 2.0 and one point can represented by nine or four pixels, respectively. For standard-resolution displays, the scale factor is 1.0 and one point equals one pixel
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiscreen/1617836-scale

Not all devices had a Retina display for the iPhone. This is expected complex control flow.

If there noting special happens, a view will have window.windowScene. However, it seems reasonable to set it to 1.0 to ensure minimal operation through the scale factor.

This will still be a behavior change if window == nil, but I'm not sure if there's a case where that matters (since if window == nil then the view isn't on-screen anyway).

I'm on the same page.

Thank you for your review so far.

This change has reduced the render quality of text in the snapshot tests regression suite. Here's an example:

Before	After

That will need to be fixed before we can merge this, since there could be other consumers using a render configuration similar to our snapshot test suite.

Currently screenScale is only accessed in commonInit(), which is called during init(). At this point view.window is always nil, so screenScale will always be 1.0.

If we're going to access view.window, then we need to handle the case where the window changes, e.g. by rerunning any logic that depends on the window or screenScale in didMoveToWindow.

hmm.. window property has nil, until a view is added to window.
Would it be difficult to change Build Setting > Require Only App-Extension-Safe APIvalue to NO?
That can use UIApplication.shared. And this is can access to scale property.

calda · 2023-10-19T12:44:16Z

I don't think the change you made fixed the problem, because LottieAnimationView itself is accessing screenScale in init (before the view has a window) and then never accesses it again. We'll need to make it so LottieAnimationView itself reacts to screenScale updates. Hopefully this doesn't require completely reinitializing the animation layer, since that would be pretty expensive.

Require Only App-Extension-Safe APIvalue to NO?

Hmmmmm, this probably would be a breaking change for some number of consumers. Is there a way for us to #if def the check, so we use the simpler code unless in an app extension?

calda · 2023-10-19T12:49:13Z

What would the code look like using UIApplication.shared?

Like this!

let windowScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene
windowScene?.screen.scale

I don't understand '#if def the check'. Perdon?

Let's commit and see if the test passes or not.

I was thinking something like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25048026/how-to-detect-if-code-is-running-in-main-app-or-app-extension-target but it sounds like this won't be possible for us since (1) we don't control the custom build flags, and (2) we distribute pre-compiled binaries. So I don't think we can use UIApplication.shared unfortunately.

Recently i access screenScale in didMoveToWindow() but it is not apply layer screen scale in commonInit(). I agree your opinion.
Then i'll have to look for it that LottieAnimationView updates screenScale itself. After view is added that it has window.
