Nothing makes you realize you have a problem like an Apple Store survey

@christianselig That or opening your Apple ID within Settings.app and seeing the long list of devices.

TL;DR since this is confusing a bunch of folks: If you make money on the App Store, you are a Trader, and under the DSA are required to provide a postal address, email address, and phone number, that will all be displayed publicly on the App Store

(Google Play has had similar rules for years, so if you publish on Android you might be familiar with this)

I finally finished making my cute little Apple Vision Pro stand that you can also 3D print for free if you want 🥳

There are people who swear to me they haven't noticed Twitter's quality deteriorate since Musk took over but for the last few weeks any time I'm linked to a post it opens like this, and if I background the app 4/5 times it just disappears. Do people just not notice things like this or is it cope?

@mergesort my favorite is scrolling the timeline and watching the top tweet just vanish, revealing the pull to refresh arrow. 🫣

Anyone manage to get alternate app icons working on visionOS? The API is available, the Human Interface Guidelines suggest using it on visionOS, but in the simulator at least I get "The requested operation couldn’t be completed because the feature is not supported"

ay8s,
@ay8s@mastodon.social avatar

@christianselig I got all of my alternative icons layers together for @alpenglowapp only to run into the same. I wonder if the API is available just to ease transition to visionOS or they missed something. supportsAlternateIcons returns false.

No specs yet on the Vision Pro battery yet, right? Wh/dimensions?

Ahead of handing Apple Vision Pro review units out to press, it looks like (and I can confirm) Apple is already pushing approved third-party visionOS apps to the App Store.

If you want to see your app featured in reviews, maybe start talking to your favorite journalists!

It is mind boggling to me how fast modern 3D printers go. Like, this footage isn't sped up at all, it's just zoomin 💨

U2 is about to kick off their residency at the new Sphere venue in Las Vegas. Simultaneously, I've heard that Apple has been filming some VR content with U2/Bono this year.

I have no idea if there's a connection or not, but the Sphere seems like a venue that is perfect for shooting VR concerts. Apple also filmed an interview thing with U2 at the Sphere earlier this year.

Could be nothing, but interesting! There's a reason this isn't a post on 9to5Mac. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfUGtUER1yw

I’m very tempted to just draw a line and set iOS 17 as the baseline for all of my apps/updates shipped from now on, not because they particularly need it right now, but because it really makes things easier for things I have planned in the short to mid term (including adding a whole new OS, visionOS, to the mix). The only wrinkle is macOS, which traditionally has a slower update cycle. macOS 12 (which is an 'iOS 15' target) already seems an aggressive cutoff, never mind macOS 14 Sonoma

ay8s,
@ay8s@mastodon.social avatar

@stroughtonsmith I’ve already set my minimum to iOS 17, kinda by accident by adopting Observation but as it tidied things up so much I don't want to look back. 🤣

On the Isle of Wight for a few more days. Currently being battered by thunder & lightning. A fairly close strike knocked out the internet and phone for a solid 15 minutes. I timed my day off well. 😬

How am I supposed to be reading/handling the big corner radius of StandBy widgets?

I'm getting significantly clipped on the corners.

I've adopted containerBackground. Safe area's all zeros. Widget margins claim to be only 3pt (much smaller than reality).

ay8s,
@ay8s@mastodon.social avatar

@marcoarment Came across this also, spotted a few other folks mention it but not seen a solid solution so far that doesn't effect other widget locations.
