Did someone in App Review die?

I've been very busy for the past week and totally forgot that we have a watchOS app in review. This is not a first: I'm guessing these stalls are caused by someone getting a watchOS-only app and not having a device to test it on.

Pro tip: Don't ever release a watchOS-only app - this is just one example of all the edge cases of going that route. /cc @lorihc

The first screenshot of what would become Tapestry.

You have to start somewhere, even if it’s labeled ????? and ugly as hell.

You know those gas pumps with the annoying video ads that blast away while you refuel?

They often have unlabeled MUTE buttons.

Try pressing buttons around the screen, you’ve got nothing to lose and a bit of peace to gain…

@Gargron I love the idea behind Givebutter, and donating to this thing I use all the time, but this is less than optimal:

Does anyone know how to change the name of the app that's shown in the Xcode Organizer popup?

It appears to get set with the first version you submit, and I'd really like it to not be the name of the prototype I from 20 months ago.

Sean is an amazing engineer, and Tapestry’s timeline is an amazing piece of engineering.

There are so many variables to consider when trying to keep a scroll view stable: working in the background, multiple network connections, CloudKit syncing, and your damn finger being on screen.

He nailed them all.

Fascists are going to need technology to succeed.

And we know more about that than they do.

Put dipsticks in your code.

But I still struggled with “croissant”.

Maybe by next MLK day…

Today is a momentous day in history.

I spelled “campaign” right on the first try.

It's a good thing Apple is making alternate distribution mechanisms when they can't get the one they've been using for the past 18 years to work reliably.

Heads up: we submitted a TestFlight about an hour ago and are now getting folks saying “The developer removed you from the test program.”

We did not remove anyone from the test program.

Related: App Store Connect just showed me that there were 0 testers in the build's group. They came back on refresh, but are not searchable/filterable.

Something is very broken.

We're all waiting patiently for the Cybertruck to become a distant (and ugly) memory.

But when you post a link to an article that has no citations or other references for confirmation, you're contributing to the misinformation problem.

Be critical, even when it confirms your views.

@Gargron Sorry for the direct request, but I can't find anything about this:

Is there a way to force a login to an instance instead of getting the /redirect/statuses/ interstitial?

We'd like to support on-instance links to content, but when using an in-app browser, you're probably not logged in. So the links fail (and there's no way to login to remediate).

If this needs to be a Github issue, l'm happy to make one, just not sure where.

Google is poisoning its own well. The only question is if they will come to their senses before it’s too late.
