Apple app review is wild! Submit a new iOS app and I'm still waiting over two weeks. Submit a macOS app and reviewed in less than 24 hours. AI and slop is making iOS apps flood the review team but macOS apps are just waltzing right through.

just throwing it out there again testflight.apple.com/join/C9wZvpEe there’s a #testflight for my new app Otuli, a shared baby tracker. #ios #newborn #mum #dad #parents

TestFlight - Apple

Using TestFlight is a great way to help developers test beta versions of their apps.

@inside.bsky.social i was wondering with Virtual Buddy 2.2b4 - does the USB passthrough allow webcams?

oh boy, you weren’t kidding about the app store delays for review. this has been real slow compared of late

Wondering if anyone wants to try out my new app. Not for everyone, but it is a newborn tracker - nappies, feeds, etc. Kind of a right-of-passage for new parents (yay to me 🎉) but I tried to make my version a bit more in depth than other trackers. testflight.apple.com/join/C9wZvpEe #testflight #ios

Join the Otuli: Shared Baby Tracker beta

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

working on a feed, poop, pee tracking app. lots of great little things in there for learning. still a work in progress but being able to log it from both parents shared over iCloud and SwiftData. and nice little night mode too for 3am feeds

What a guy

4 panel comic

Panel 1: a wizard in blue robe and white beard sitting with small forg at a desk behind the computer. “Click, click” is the sound of the mouse to be heard
Panel 2: close up on the computer screen. There’s a green check mark and a full loading bar on it. From off screen someone, probably the wizard, says “boom, there it is”.
Panel 3: forg is left behind alone at his desk. There’s an open door in the background. Forg says “thanks installation wizard” and a little pink heart appears, showing his affection.
Panel 4: we see now that the wizard has already left the house after a job well done. He replies to forg watching him go from his window: “it’s what I do”

it’s that time of the year again. not the greatest set of devices but at least I can test on the smallest screen #wwdc

a range of iPhones with different old iOS versions

WWDC PSoU saying build for flexible screen sizes just sounds really like the foldable. make it for slim and when it unfolds to iPad mini size

weird bug, if we can call it that. app store shows an unrendered icon, but on the download it is completely fine. nothing even changed in this update, it was a package bump. or is it just me apps.apple.com/au/app/swipe...

was looking to see what monitor MagSafe there were just to redo my desk. sometimes you just find really odd other things. why is this a thing you need or want would think of??

i am having an absolute nightmare with Apple review at the moment. i never have had this much back and forth. trying to deprecate two plan subscriptions - so 6 offers, upgrade them to the top tier, and simplify it all. haven’t been able to get things done in 3 weeks

I know Text + Text is deprecated in iOS 26.0 as pictured - but I cant seem to find anything documented other than the inline warning

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: https://scim.ag/42dMPBg

To verify images, digital forensics investigators will often check whether the geometry of the scene is realistic. In a real photo, lines that run parallel in reality—like floor tiles—should meet at a single vanishing point. In this image, however, the dotted lines do not meet in a single point, indicating it is a fake.
Image: an AI-generated image of soldiers marching down a hallway in three lines, wearing fatigues and carrying rifles. Four dotted white lines have been added over the image, running along the floor tiles visible in the foreground and extending back to where the vanishing point should be, behind the soldiers. Instead of meeting in a single point, the lines all cross at different points.

Investigators also examine reflections. The lines connecting points on an object to matching points in its mirror image run parallel in reality, so similarly should meet at a vanishing point. In this image, the lines again do not converge on one point, revealing it to be a fake.
Image: An AI-generated image of a plastic cartoon dinosaur toy with its reflection visible in a small mirror. Four dotted white lines are layered over the image, connecting points on the toy with the same points on its reflection: the top of its eye, the end of its jaw, its hand, and its foot. The lines extend out to the side of the image, where they all cross at different points rather than meeting at a single point.

am i out of the loop or has something happened, but i can no longer swipe to the left on the lock screen to get to the camera, or right to widgets? or have i developed some muscle memory for something that never existed..
