Disclaimer

No cow has been harmed for the development of this application. I guess. Maybe not. We prefer chicken, ostrich and duck confit.

Technology

ASCII Cows is a native iOS application written in Swift 3...5. Pretty much all the UI setup is done in code for various reasons.
~90% of the code of the iOS application is shared with our macOS based cow solutions. Yet ASCII Cows is making extensive use of iOS features, like an Messages app extension.

Credit where credit is due!

This is just an application build around the excellent cows and vaca modules of Sindre Sorhus. He did all the herding and cowboy’ing.
