Isn't the Siri that is closest meant to respond to your command? My iPhone is beside me and starts listening for a second before the HomePod way over in the kitchen takes over and totally misinterprets what I'm asking.

This is not what I would expect. If you have Journaling Schedule enabled, you will receive the schedule notification even if you have notifications turned off. I realise that correctness is debatable here, but I would argue that Notification status should take precedence since that’s how it works in every other app. And it is the only way it could work in a non-Apple app.

Notifications off entirely for the Journal app.

50% of the time, our HomePod’s say “uh oh there’s a problem, please try again.” I try again and it works. Could be asking it for the weather, add a reminder, control the lights, or the time. My theory is that I’m on some sort of iOS 18 related A/B test because it’s just so weird how it all suddenly and completely stopped working.

Hey siri remind me in 3 hours to take the table cloth inside.

I would love to be proven wrong but, in my experience, the best way to autoplay a full screen video on iOS is to use a WKWebView.

Lol at Dan Snaith putting the track Honey out as Caribou. Feels accidental. Dancy on main even. https://music.apple.com/au/album/honey/1734821034?i=1734821050

You ever tried to render an SVG in Swift? I’d say there’s a gap in the market except it also seems like nobody actually cares about rendering SVGs in Swift.

Do you all have a favourite Bluey episode? Mine is (currently) either Cricket or Octopus.

Here’s a check in on @tvforecastapp monthly recurring revenue. It is currently at $1,315 USD. The x axis of the screenshot is from April 2020 to today. I’ve seen consistent growth since the release of 2.0 in July of 2023. I’ve been releasing regular updates and doing my best to respond to user feedback, reviews and requests. I mostly do feedback-driven-development; I own the core concept for the app but its users inform where it should go next. This has (evidently) been working very well.

Just submitted FB13558005. EnumerableEntityQuery doesn't generate filter for entity properties. iOS 17 introduced EnumerableEntityQuery as a way to automatically generate a Find action for an entity. The bug is that it doesn't handle entity properties. For instance, if you have a CarEntity with a BrandEntity property, you'll end with screenshot 1; no way to select a brand. If you use the traditional (and more complicated) EntityPropertyQuery, you get screenshot 2.

A screenshots Find action that reads “Find [All Car] where [Brand] [is] [Brand]”. The Brand placeholder has been selected and displays all the available car brands.

Here's another example of something you'll be able to do with Shortcuts in @tvforecastapp 2.8: Get the progress episode of all shows on a given network:

TV Forecast Shortcuts support is getting beefier in the next release 💪 /cc @JeroenSchaper @matthewcassinelli

Would love to get to the bottom of this mystery: when my battery is low(ish) on my iPhone 12 Pro, the audio will duck dramatically in certain circumstances. For example, if my phone is on the bench playing a podcast and I tap the screen to wake it up, the sound will instantly get really quiet. It will slowly get louder again over the next minute or so. This only affects the internal speaker, it does not happen when airplaying, or with headphones. IMO, it has the trappings of a hardware issue.

Making progress on an “international release dates” feature for @tvforecastapp. Idea is you tap the date on the movie screen and you get a sheet with the release dates in every region, with your own region at the top. Needs a little more styling but I think it’s close.

Hi iOS and macOS app developers, let me show you something I've been working on. It's a developer tool called Transpose that does AI-based app localization: https://youtu.be/5-TX_T_NsTA

Just export your localization from Xcode, and drag it into Transpose. It considers comments for context and understands pluralization. The demo shows how it all works start to finish. If you're interested in checking it out, the best thing you can do right now is DM me your email. Boosts appreciated! 🤓
