Xcode 27's new launcher is quite the downgrade

Xcode 27 launcher, showing basically a VStack of the Xcode icon, app name and version, a button row (open/clone/new), and a list of recent projects.

Sad that we didn't get an action button for the tab bar. #wwdc

Name something more annoying

I'm starting to feel a bit of “Liquid Glass fatigue". Everything just looks the same. I mean it's been this way before when devs stick to standard controls (which is a good thing!). I just feel like Liquid Glass emphasizes that because it's so... intense?

Just stumbled across a feature in Apple Notes that makes the current selection a link when you paste a link via the clipboard. Neat!

Yayyy, someone just purchased the first annual subscription for diu! 🥳 🎉 (Surely this must be someone who knows me. 😝)

Xogot: Godot on iPad and iPhone @xogot.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Launched my latest app three weeks ago, got 15 unique downloads since then. 🥶 Pretty grounding to be honest, but I know it doesn't come over night. Current focus: ASO and influencer outreach. I’m offering creators a promo code and ask them for feedback, anything else would be a bonus.

We’re bringing Xogot, our styled version of Godot, to macOS. Xogot for Mac brings a native Mac experience, Xcode-inspired project navigation, and easier deployment to Mac, iPhone, iPad, and the iOS Simulator without the usual friction. The beta is open today: blog.xogot.com/xogot-on-mac/

Notes from App Review

Guideline 3.1.1 - Business - Payments - In-App Purchase

Issue Description

We have begun the review of your In-App Purchases but aren't able to continue because your submitted In-App Purchases indicate a change of business model for the app.

Specifically, your existing Auto-Renewable Subscription business model has changed to include a non-consumable In-App Purchase business model type.

Therefore, we need to verify the implementation of your submitted In-App Purchases in the app to ensure the app, and its In-App Purchases, are in compliance with the App Review Guidelines.

Next Steps

In order to approve your new In-App Purchase business model, we have to verify the purchasability of the items being sold. Please upload a new binary and make sure that your new In-App Purchase products are available for purchase at the time of review.

Resources

What's the best way to create lifetime offer codes for an app that only offers subscriptions? Seems like you need a "hidden" lifetime IAP, but I got a bad gut feeling regarding the review. #iosdev

Always check who made and delivered the stuff you're installing. Even if it's just an app for your phone or from a marketplace or some repo. Think of apps as people you invite into your home. notepad-plus-plus.org/news/npp-tra...

Tomorrow my new little app will finally go live. Really excited to see how it's perceived by the public. It's been the first app I published for pre-order, so it should already be live once I wake up. 🥰 #indiedev

I'm about to say something I haven't said in 8 years: I'm looking for a full-time job. I'm looking for the right role with the right people and the right mission, all of which I've laid out in this blog post. I'm mostly interested in something new, so if this sounds like your team I'd love to talk.

Open To Work

I won't bury the lede, I'm looking to go back to work full-time. I'm thankful to not be under financial strain, so I'm not rushing into anything. Instead I'm coming at this from a place of genuine int...

Now that diu will launch in less than a week, I think it's a good time to speak about why I've built yet another to-do list. I've got diagnosed with ADHD late in my life. We mainly started investigating since I had growing issues with motivation.

yum!

I like what meetup is doing here. Never really thought about that, but seems like such an easy UX win. Most people probably know that the logo leads back to home anyway, but still.

2.5 days, 8% of target, nearly 400 of you contributed 🫶🫶

I think I'm on @eurosky.social now. 😁

Feels like Bluesky is slowly becoming the new Moltbook 😪
