I had a build In Review for over 48 hours, until I Developer Rejected it.
Its successor was In Review for 3 minutes before being approved.
In Review for 24 hours. đ°
This blog post added a few things to my list of WWDC announcements to check out:
WWDC 2019 - The Things You May Have Missed by Patrick Balestra
I want to release a major upgrade this summer. Struggling with existing functionality that wonât make sense in iOS 13. Options:
- Include functionality knowing it will go away or change.
- Exclude functionality without the iOS 13-based replacement.
- Postpone until September.
CocoaHeads Boston will meet next Thursday, June 13. The agenda includes a presentation on SwiftUI by Marc Prud’hommeaux and an open discussion of WWDC announcements. We will also give away a ticket to SwiftFest and a JetBrains product.
I think there is a squirrel living in the walls of my house.
There will be nationwide rallies for impeachment on Saturday, June 15.
The Boston event will be on the Boston Common.
A âgit bisectâ kind of day.
SwiftFest is coming back to Boston. July 29-30.
Despite my annoyance at the Mac Pro pricing, I am very excited by todayâs keynote. Even without the Mac Pro announcement and without the SwiftUI announcements, it would have been a very impressive set of announcements.
Waiting at a bar inside North Station/Boston Garden for my commuter rail train. Itâs getting difficult to feign interest in whether the Bruins win this Stanley Cup finals game.
Honestly, I thought the Mac Pro would start at $5k (without a display) and would have iMac Pro-like specs at that starting price. I thought the display would start at $2k tops. Out of my price range, but fair enough.
The base model has 256GB of storage, half of what my $3k 2012 MacBook Pro has. The display stand costs an extra grand.
Thoughts from todayâs announcements:
- Project Catalyst looks promising.
- The Mac Pro looks incredible, but what a price tag.
- iPadOS 13 looks very interesting.
- I like âSign In with Appleâ, low data mode, dark mode on iOS.
Waiting for the train to Boston for the CocoaHeads keynote viewing party. I feel particularly excited for this yearâs announcements.
Waiting for Review.
(This is a pre-beta build I submitted in order to get in-app purchases approved, but still a big milestone.)
I envy folks spending this week in San Jose, but I am also excited to watch the Keynote and Platforms State of the Union at the CocoaHeads Boston viewing party.
New iPod Touch purchased and configured. Provisioning profiles updated. Ready for iOS 13 beta.
CocoaHeads Boston will be hosting a viewing party for the WWDC Keynote and Platforms State of the Union. Please join us.
Anne Milgram, a former New Jersey Attorney General, tries to read Rod Rosensteinâs absurd resignation letter without cracking up.
I am debating whether to upgrade my 2012 Retina MacBook Pro. I wish a service existed that allowed me to definitively determine the compile time of my own projects on specific hardware models.
If I buy anything it will be after the WWDC keynote.
Mac Open Web is a new website by @brian. It lists indie Mac, iOS, and web apps that help promote the open web. Check it out.

Can âIndieâ Social Media Save Us?
I am happy both for Micro.blog and for the IndieWeb community at large to see this article.
Also, congratulations @manton!
This needs to be signal boosted:

Becky Hansmeyer (@becky):
$5 should be the absolute rock bottom price for a quality indie app, full stop. So, for whoever might need to hear this: stop kidding yourself, youâre not going to make it up in volume, raise your dang prices, thank you and good night.
100% agree.
