Saw a bunch of posts wondering how the App Store logo works (is it just sticks??), so I made a little 3D printed visualization of the 3 tilted app icons that come together to make it, it's really quite clever!
Makes for a fun desk ornament too ☺️

Curious for folks who have gone from an M1 series Mac to an M… higher: does Xcode's AI autocomplete load any quicker on the newer chips? I yearn for Cursor level speed but I assume Xcode is trying to do it all locally?

Nothing nerve-wracking at all about getting an unprompted email from App Review late on a Friday with no details 🙃

Anyone ever do a good writeup on using VS Code or Cursor in lieu of Xcode? Seems capable but curious how folks improve the base autocomplete (ideally to match Xcode's) plus warnings/compiling

Okay I give up: how does Codex permission model work? I want it to ALWAYS ask for approval like this. Normally it does great, sometimes it just claims it can't do this anymore despite /status being identical
Claude is so much dumber than Codex but the tooling is so much better

Designing a new app and it's taking every ounce of my strength to not spend the entire development budget on app icons

The year is 2045, robots walk among us, but connecting a new device to Xcode still prevents you from being able to do any work until it's finished

Okay, can someone tell me how on earth you get App Clips working via Local Experiences? I can just feel I'm doing something really dumb

App Clip Local Experiences have consumed my day
Okay, I have to be doing something astronomically stupid, right? This should be working? I’m playing around with an App Clip and want to just run it on the device as a test, but no matter how I set things up nothing ever works. If you see what I’m doing wrong let me know and I’ll update this, and hopefully we can save someone else in the future a few hours of banging their head!

A lot of people don't realize the biggest advancements in electric vehicles won't come from new battery technology or full self driving, it will be from adding gas station windshield squeegees to charging stations
