@habibcham@numericcitizen I would be interested to hear what parts of Viticci’s issues with iPadOS are due to his ignorance of how operating systems work.
✨The 1.1 update of my read-later app #Flyleaf is now live on the iOS and macOS #AppStore. It includes some nice quality-of-life improvements, so make sure to grab it!
@n0rthk1n9@stefanblos I wish I could recommend the artist to you but they ghosted me! I wanted to hire them again AND let them know that their artwork got into the iOS app icon book.
iPadOS 18 could ship with built-in Calculator app, after 14 Calculator-less years
Imagine making a sophisticated piece of hardware, and yet the news that keeps popping up is how that hardware is missing calculator functions. So much so, that when you do decide to finally make a calculator app for your hardware, it's apparently news.
Can't tell whether this is hilarious or depressing.
Ich liebe FreeForm auf dem iPad. Mich stört einzig, dass man nicht automatisiert per Shortcut ein neues Blatt anlegen UND ihm auch einen Namen geben kann. Aktuell lege ich mir manuell für jeden Tag ein Blatt an und skribbele den ganzen Tag darauf rum - Notizen, Ideen, kleine Zeichnungen zur Ablenkung in langweiligen Meetings, etc. pp. Abends erfolgt dann ein kleines Review, die Todo-App wird gefüllt und relevante Notizen übertragen.
Wyświetlanie pojemności baterii i cykli ładowania ma się pojawić w iPadOS. Problem w tym, że ma być zarezerwowane dla nowszych modeli iPada. Ciężko w to uwierzyć, bo nie wierzę, że starsze modele są na to za słabe…
@krzysiek_borek najlepsze jest to że na 100% kontroler ładowania to zapisuje i gdzieś po szynie zapewne i2c można te dane odczytać (przy wymianie należy resetować).
Z resztą chyba iPad jak wszystkie iphony wie kiedy i czy na oryginalną została bateria wymieniona. A to właśnie z kontrolera ładowania :)
Flyleaf is a “read-later” app that displays saved articles from the web in a meticulously designed reading view, without popups, ads or other distractions.
The distinguishing feature of Flyleaf is its unparalleled book-style pagination. You can read articles page by page instead of scrolling vertically.
@maxmelzer Looks very nice, congratulations! To be honest, I expected to see a page curve effect like in Apple Books but apparently it's not possible (yet?). And, is it technically possible to import from Safari Reading List?
@croc Hi Alex, thanks for your email! I'm very sorry your first experience was kind of crummy. Your’e not the only one with issues with the GoodLinks import. I’ll look into it as soon as possible!
Apple chwali się, jak szczelny jest App Store pod kątem niedopuszczania do systemowego sklepu z aplikacjami tych, które służą oszustwom. No nie do końca, co pokazuje przykład scamerskiego portfela bitcoinów.
Na moich oczach z kont zostało pobranych 150 tys. USD po tym, jak wprowadziłem swoją frazę seed do tej fałszywej aplikacji z Apple Store. Nie mogę uwierzyć, że Apple pozwala na takie aplikacje w swoim App Store!d
Firma stojąca za nią nimi jest zarejestrowana w Nowej Zelandii, w przypadkowym Airbnb.
Cele atakujących są osoby przesiadające się z Androida na iOS (tzw. switcherzy). Po przeniesieniu wszystkich aplikacji chcą oni przenieść także swoje bitcoiny z androidowego portfela na jakiś odpowiednik w iOS.
Wpisałem frazę „portfel bitcoin” w Apple App Store, zainstalowałem pierwszą aplikację, którą zobaczyłem (wyglądała legalnie), przelałem bitcoiny i natychmiast zostały one wysłane donikąd. Okazuje się, że ta aplikacja została wcześniej zgłoszona co najmniej 12 dni temu jako oszustwo!
– relacjonuje kolejny poszkodowany. Mowa o zgłoszeniu na tym Reddit. Apple przez 12 dni zatem nic z tym zgłoszeniem nie zrobiło, a aplikacja wyświetlana jest (nadal!) jako pierwsza rekomendacja. Wyprzedzając inne, dobrze znane na rynku krypto portfele, jak binance, blockchain.com i coinbase.
Chętnie przeczytałbym komentarz Apple w tej sprawie.
@gedeonm I would be mildly curious. There are times when I feel response is lagging not because of bandwidth, but by hung processes, ram not reallocating.
Turns out on the Wallflower #TestFlight Beta that Purchases that happened on the TestFlight sandbox are lost in each new version, and beta testers have to re-purchase. No worries, this does not cost money. I thought this was just my account, but it turns out other beta testers have it too. What did I misconfigure? Where? #appstore#iosdev
@gernot subscription durations are shortened dramatically in the sandbox environments, so they can be tested more easily - if this is for a non-consumable IAP, I imagine it’s something similar
@matt1corey Good to know I was under the impression that this only applied to people with a Sandbox Account in ASC. I thought for regular TestFlight Beta users the normal times apply.
Ej, ale jak już będzie dostępna instalacja aplikacji spoza #AppStore na #iOS to do tego będzie potrzebna ta licencja deweloperska od #Apple czy nie? Wiadomo coś?
@mstankiewicz Tak, upload appek, nawet do innych marketplace, nadal jest normalnie przez App Store Connect. Tam nadal jest App Review ale zdecydowanie mniej restrykcyjny, raczej zorientowany na wykrywanie malware.
#watchOS 10, about half a year in (I think I used the betas?): I think it’s mostly an improvement.
Changing some of the basic interactions is bold, because you’re messing with people’s muscle memory. But I doubt Apple did that lightly. They knew this was a risk. A 10.0 is one of those rare occasions where you get to take the risk.
I still have broken muscle memory with what the watchface gestures do: do I swipe up for Control Center? No, that now gives me widgets. Do I click the lower button for recent apps? No, that now gives me Control Center. Wait, so where do you get recent apps? (For a while, I thought the answer is you can’t any more. Instead, it’s: double-click the crown.) In practice, this means I often do the wrong gestures, undo, then do the right thing. (I’m using “gesture” loosely here.)
@chucker I think this relates to the Widgets side of the watch? Most of the reasons to switch back to a previous app are better embodied as widgets: if I check something in the middle of a workout and want to get back to the workout screen there’s a widget for that; same for Apple Music, generally. (Plus there’s still the old weird tap the top edge but not enough to drag notifications down “last app” gesture.) Most of the cases I need to scroll recent apps are a missing widget, I feel.
Seeing this, I'm convinced this is an intentionally rigged game and actually also a honey pot. A trap for new developers to sign up for a mode that might (will?) eventually kill them. You cannot revert from this new model.
‼️ The new model requires you to IMPROVE your download to paid ratio as you get MORE downloads.
Everybody will tell you it's usually the opposite. It's impossible to grow and win using these rules. It's like a drug scheme – easy entry but killing you over time.
In the end, this is what everybody was expecting Apple to do: don't budge but make new rules that essentially change nothing and just make them more money. Same as in the US for external payment providers.
It's a mathematically hidden way of saying „Fuck You“ to regulators and the industry. Dressing up nicely and acting like your friend, but coming for you once you bite, inescapable. Basically, a trojan horse.
[end]
PS: Happy to hear your thoughts. And please correct me if I'm wrong!
First time I used #Appstore Codes for promoting my App Wallflower 2 and I have to say it's a great tool. Wonder why I haven't seen this use by other indie devs?!
My app has a subscription for €49/year, but with the code RELEASEWEEK you can get the first 3 months for €10 during this release week.
This is different than Promo codes, way more flexible, you can make up to a million and it's on you how you distribute them. Super useful.
Ever since #WatchOS v10, my heart rate tracking has been mostly broken when I use the fitness app to track a bike ride.
Start the ride, heart rate jumps to double. Stop, it goes back. Start riding again and after 10 minutes, heart rate jumps by 50%, then the heart rate monitor crashes/resets and after 2 minutes, it comes back to normal.
This cycle usually repeats itself 1 more time. #biketooter
