Native iOS - Good swift Storyboard/User Interface hacks - ios

I am relatively new to native iOS and I want to build an Instagram-like newsfeed but I find it really tough to make it look that pretty.
Does anyone have any general swift hacks, tips or suggestions to make native iOS user interfaces really really pretty? Pretty much anything is appreciated :)
Thanks in advance.

App internationalization / localization (Flutter)

I am building a flutter app and want to localize my app. I am following the recommended method. I have implemented the method successfully and there is no error.
The problem is I dont know many of the languages I want this app to have. Can you please suggest a good solution? Do I hire people to translate it or is there any free way?
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks.
I believe you should start with googling something like “10 most spread languages” and consider them for starters.

Swift OpenGL ES app template?

I've been looking at a lot of tutorials trying to find a way to make an OpenGL app written in Swift, but I can't seem to find a good template to use.
Most tutorials suggest using a blank one, but then I have to write a ton of files (such as AppDelegate) all from scratch, which I have no clue how to do.
I tried all the links on this, but the first one doesn't even work and the second one is in Objective-C.
Anyone have anything that might help me?
I ended up figuring it out myself by using GLKit and smashing together old tutorials. Since OpenGL is just a bunch of functions, all you really need to do is find the right parameters for your programming language.
For anyone else trying to do this, there's some fairly useful resources here and here, and it's also useful to shove in some ported code from Ray Wenderlich if you get stuck. Good luck!

An app that just reads a bar code

I want to develop an app that just reads a bar code. I don't want it to go off to a website or shop or anything. Just read it! It must run on iPad Air. I have seen zbar and a few other suggestions but I want to be sure which one I should use/how to start. Can someone who has done this type of thing help please?
Start with the sample code here that describes iOS native code detection and usage: http://www.infragistics.com/community/blogs/torrey-betts/archive/2013/10/10/scanning-barcodes-with-ios-7-objective-c.aspx
When you've progressed to needing something this doesn't accomplish, you will likely have the vocabulary to better describe what you need, what you've tried, and how it has failed for you.

Simple memory monitor for iOS

I have zero iOS programming experience but I'm good with Android and Java programming. I also know my basics in C++. Here's what the app needs to do:
List out all the current running apps in the phone and display how much Ram each is consuming.
Put the ram usage by each app onto the Logger.
That's it.
It's simple enough and I've read up as much as I can about Objective C and Swift (I can use either) and I've found an interesting tool here that does something similar to what I need to do.
If any of you can give me any advice I'd be forever in debt as I really need to get this done well. If you need anything else, let me know. Thanks a bunch.
Edit: to make myself clear, I'm only asking if this is even possible in iOS and what approach I may take and if there are any tools you recommend. I'm not asking anyone to do this for me.

drag and drop with easeljs

I apologize that is isn't strictly a coding question. Has anyone come across a good BASIC tutorial explaining how to drag things in Easeljs? I've been experimenting with jQuery Mobile and the 'touch punch' plugin in the DOM for an app I'm developing and it works great. All devices, all browsers. But i recently read that phonegap totally sucks so I'm trying to get the same effects in Canvas for Cocoonjs.
But I can't seem to get anything working in Canvas. I've scoured the web and it seems everyone just reuses Easeljs' daisy example.
Has anyone found a good, simple, clear example without all the extra BS?
Thanks in advance. And again I apologize this isn't a coding question.
If I'm getting this correctly, you are trying to use jQuery for Drag&Drop on canvas?
If that is the case, then the simple answer is: It's not possible. (at least not out of the box, and making this work would take way too much effort and would make no sense)
Other than that you have pretty much answered your question yourself, the EaselJS Daisy DragAndDrop Example from here: https://github.com/CreateJS/EaselJS/tree/master/examples already is like a perfect example - unfortunately it won't get much simpler than that.
