My app sales are up 399% over the last 24 hours 🤯. The #IndieDevSales is working well for me so far.

Go checkout the other apps on sale too: https://github.com/mattcorey/indie-dev-sales

Reached the stage in Zelda where I have to go grind shrines to stop being punished so heavily in fights.

Have to wonder with how the response is to Finewoven… did it really benefit the environment? Seemingly a lot of people are just going to buy one, be disappointed then get a second case, probably leather anyway.

Started the Watch app for HomePass 2 this evening. The watchOS 10 design language is fun to play with.

Anyone have a better button label than Manage? It’s to allow users to manually map data in the migration if it fails to do so automatically.

Given an existing app with a decent amount of unsubscribed users, what would be the best way to gate more features without annoying those existing ones? Although the existing users are the ones I want to pay…

On a fun side note, my app's ratings have really taken a tumble recently. I guess I am only getting bad reviews and no good reviews again.

So the Matter 1.3 specification is out, yet no major platform supports 1.2 as of yet. Having Matter as an industry standard falls down fast if no platform actually supports it in a timely manner.

13 units at $7.99 equals $679,000 in proceeds after the 15% cut. I'm liking Apple's maths.

This might have something to it.

I remember why I don’t check my app’s reviews often. So demoralising.

"Although CloudKit doesn’t guarantee the order of fetched record zone changes, the typical order for both deletions and modifications is oldest to newest.” - So it's typical but not reliable enough.

Harmony, my sync library based upon GRDB is now in the wild. It is still in active development and somewhat hacked together, but it could serve as a good example of using CKSyncEngine for someone. https://github.com/aaronpearce/Harmony

Some portions of the codebase are from Cirrus by @jayhickey which was a great help to handle the encoding/decoding of CKRecords. The license file reflects this.

My new paywall system is now connected to RevenueCat.

Testing out using targeting to setup offerings per specific apps as defaults as a workaround.

Also tempted to try out placements so I can do different offers per spot in the app long term.

This would explain my sudden weird drop in proceeds since March or April.

Next on the weird odours in my house, our air conditioning ducts. Should be a fun challenge to find the cause.

So this interoperability form, does this mean we can submit requests for obviously missing features we need? Like HomeKit syncable identifiers... or PiP for HomeKit cameras?

Seems open source projects that need to test with real devices might be hampered a bit. Self hosted GitHub runners just introduce security risks seemingly.

Took a minute and looked at comparable apps to HomeCam that support generic IP cameras. Wow, they seemingly have high prices. $50-100 a year.

I'm considering my little sync engine complete for now. I need to tidy up the code and write some quick documentation before I share it. Getting this piece of technical work out of the way lets me focus back on the actual app which is nice.

Packing for travel with the goal being to not forget something actually important.

Bags packed. Passport ready. Cannot wait to sit in airports all day tomorrow. 🫠

Just a tiny bit toasty in my office this evening.

It is the time of the year that I start compiling my list of HomeKit feature requests that will be promptly be ignored by the team at Apple. Such a good use of my time.
