The most used feature is missing in Xcode 13

Image Literal

#imageLiteral()

these commands do not seem to be working. A similar change has happened for Color Literals as well.

    There is no longer image literal 🙁

    You may try:

    Who.What = UIImage(named: "catImage")

    I came up with a workaround

    Create code snippets for color literal and image literal like below

    Color

    #colorLiteral()

    colorLiteral

    And add completion shortcut as you want, Example: colorLiteral.
    Do same for Image literal

    Image

    #imageLiteral()

    imageLiteral

    And add completion shortcut as you want. Call those completion shortcuts in your code to get color and image literals.

    colorLiteral
    imageLiteral

    I used

    UIImage(imageLiteralResourceName: "image_asset_name")

    and it works perfectly fine on XCode 13.2.1

    You need to set a variable at the top of your struct to hold the color and image literals before you use them in the view body.

    let color = #colorLiteral(red: 0.1411764771, green: 0.3960784376, blue: 0.5647059083, alpha: 1)
let image = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "cherry1")

    creating a shortcut is handy but it doesn’t solve the problem of Xcode not allowing literals to be used as parameters to views.

    This is a nice feature in Xcode and you may find it cool for small projects, but the best way to handle images, colours and other resources is to look into a package like R.Swift or Swiftgen

    https://github.com/SwiftGen/SwiftGen

    https://github.com/mac-cain13/R.swift

    I prefer swiftgen since R.swift is not currently working with M1 Macs.

    I can’t make Xcode auto complete colorLiteral, but you can still use the inline color picker.

    This is a workaround which works in Xcode 14.2.

    Where you want the color picker, enter any color full colorLiteral

    #colorLiteral(red: 0.1411764771, green: 0.3960784376, blue: 0.5647059083, alpha: 1)

    Xcode will then display the color picker which you can use.enter image description here
