The author of the text, David G. Simmons, has developed a new library in Swift that allows native Apple apps to write data directly to InfluxDB v2.0 with ease. The library is simple to use and can be downloaded from his GitHub page. It supports single data points and bulk writes, and provides features such as setting configuration parameters, precision, tags, and fields for each data point. The author recommends writing data in batches for best performance and has provided examples of how to use the library to write data to InfluxDB v2.0. The library is intended to be a starting point for more advanced features, including querying and creating buckets, which will be added in future updates.
