The word impeachable connotes that one is looking for a reason to impeach. Impeachment-worthy is more appropriate.

Using government resources to extort false evidence of corruption by political opponents from a foreign government is an impeachment-worthy offense.

FB7302215: Accessibility: Need a way to increase text size in Xcode source list / left pane

#

I released an Unread update with support for dark mode on iOS 13. You select one theme for light mode and another for dark mode. Unread suggests light themes for light mode and dark themes for dark mode, but you can choose any theme for either mode.

Details in this blog post.

We have a solid agenda for tonight‘s CocoaHeads Boston meeting.

Xcode 11 and iOS 11

#

This looks important:

Please note that apps built with Xcode 11 using named colors may experience lookup failures (with no value returned) when the app runs on iOS 11 or earlier. This will be fixed in a future Xcode update. To avoid this issue, raise the minimum deployment target to iOS 12 or later to submit to the App Store now, or rebuild with the next Xcode GM candidate seed when it’s available.

#

Excited for the Apple event.

#

CocoaHeads Boston will meet this Thursday. The agenda includes these presentations:

We also have two JetBrains products to give away.
