Killed Fastlane across all 5 apps this week.

Moved everything to ASC CLI (open-source App Store Connect tool).

What changed? Now my AI agents can do much more!

Fastlane automated builds. ASC CLI opens the entire store. 🚪

Probably one of my favorite background gradients in 40 Below. Dark mode + cold temps. #iosdev #swiftui #weather
App Store rejections are the worst. RevylAI just open-sourced Greenlight—a pre-submission compliance scanner that catches review guideline violations before you hit submit. Great addition to any iOS CI/CD pipeline! 🍏

Not only Swift - Issue #96

I tried it out myself and implemented a Swift version of the Mozilla Readability SDK using Agentic Engineering.

Adding file logging (with rotating logs) and the ability to email those logs to support has been such a boon for when I run into weirdness in 40 Below out in the world.

It's also led to me sending a few sweary emails to myself. 😄

No one ever warns you that being a developer means that sometimes you have to *shudder* put your devices in light mode.

Words Inside is back! Currently for iPhone only as per the original 2013 version but the iPad version is almost read I just wanted to get a review. Back in 2013 cpus couldn’t generate the word lists on the fly so I had to curate word lists from a utility app also written in Objective-C. Now though I ported that app to Swift and all iOS devices can create the grids and word lists on the fly. Which means you can create your own Word Grids in this 2026 version 2.0 update. It’s very cool. Enjoy. #iOSDevices #AppUpdate #Swift #iosdev #swiftui

Some wild drama in the iOS indie app scene. Looks like Apple wanted to buy Halide and then some founder drama happened.

Apple Wanted to Buy Halide to Boost iPhone 18 Pro's Camera App—Now There's a Lawsuit

Apple's plans to enhance the iPhone 18 Pro's Camera app led it to consider acquiring Halide, but the talks ultimately collapsed and were...

Almost done with the first version of 40 Below for Mac! Lots to do to get ready for the App Store (localized screenshots, woof).

Then it’s on to widgets!

I've been working on a Fastmail Safari Extension for iOS in my free time. It lets you create and select masked emails on the page you're on via the Fastmail API. Think "Hide My Email" on iCloud, but for Fastmail users.

There are a few similar apps on the App Store, but they're all standalone apps rather than a Safari extension, which is where you'd actually need this functionality.

Running and using a debug build on my phone for some time now, but still haven't decided whether I'll bother publishing it. Paying $99/year for a developer account kind of makes it pointless.
