  • I filed FB9188387 describing a serious problem with App Store Connect accepting apps compiled by Xcode 13.

    If the app contains Objective-C code with an NSDictionary defined using @{ @"key": @"value" } notation, App Store Connect will reject it.

    This post has more details.

  • Observations About HEY World

    Observations about HEY World:

    • It provides full-text RSS feeds.
    • It puts feed discovery tags in the HTML <head> so that RSS readers can locate those feeds easily.
    • The resulting HTML does not have paragraph tags, just <br> tags where the author pressed return.
    • HEY World does not work with HEY for Work. The FAQ says they have not decided whether to introduce that later. So for now a HEY blog will reside only at world.hey.com.

  • I just merged a pull request that represents 6 weeks of work.

  • Open to accepting iOS and/or Win32/C/C++ side work…

    Contact Rob (@fahrni) if you are expanding your development team.

  • New App Launch: Thought Detox for iPhone

    Congratulations, @AngeloStavrow!

  • It’s not a January exception. It’s a President’s party controls 1/3 of the Senate exception.

  • Excited to see that Arq 7 was released.

  • I released Unread 2.5 with a significantly expanded free tier.

  • A Fresh Start

    Great to see @danielpunkass working full-time on Red Sweater Software products again.
