Why should Apple, a platform maker, have to do all the work of making a platform? /s

“The Apple Watch is great. There isn’t another smartwatch that I’ve even been tempted to try in recent years, but is that because no one has been able to make a good alternative…?”

Cheatsheet Notes — the original sticky notes app for iOS — is better than ever!

Interactive widgets let you copy text, open links, and delete notes right from your Home Screen.

Get it free for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch: overdesigned.net/cheatsheet/

The #1 world clock app for iOS and macOS just got better!

New widgets, interactive time zone converter widgets, and Live Activity improvements, plus the ability to set a specific clock (e.g., UTC) to always use 24-hour time.

Download it for free: apps.apple.com/app/id956377...

PSA for Mac Catalyst folks.

The workaround has worked for most of my apps but not Cheatsheet, I think because ASC doesn’t like me having a non-Catalyst Mac app embedded in my Catalyst app. I filed feedback; hope this gets resolved soon. 😞
Distribution Known Issues • The app store has began to enforce all app groups prefixed with 'group!' are registered in a provisioning profile. During distribution, Xcode will fail to sign with the correct profile if you have used this machine to distribute before. This issue still occurs even if you have set the REGISTER_APP_GROUPS build setting, which ensures your project contains the correct app groups. (145875812) Workaround: Before distributing your app validate on developer.apple.com that your app's bundle id has the correct app group assignments. Next, remove related profiles from ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/User Data/Provisioning Profiles and SHOME/Library/Mobile Device/Provisioning Profiles. Finally, attempt to upload again and the app store should accept your app.
