If you're building something for iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma (**cough** interactive widgets **cough**), here's something to think about:

It's highly likely that iOS will be released before macOS (typically a month or so). That means you'll be able submit builds created with Xcode 15 for only one of your two platforms.

Now would be a good time to open your macOS project in Xcode 14 and figure out what's broken. Avoid panic for bug fixes or model changes you want to get out on iOS release day…

@chockenberry I tell myself every year that I'll work in the Xcode beta and have something ready by iOS launch.

In reality, I wait until Xcode is out of beta and get an update ready for when macOS ships. Ends up working just as well for me. Sure, I miss out on new iOS features on day one, but does that really matter?

@JoshHrach @chockenberry Looking at the calendar and the state of iOS 17/Xcode 15…
I no longer think I’ll have a new app ready by iOS 17 launch day.
It’s been 10 weeks in betaville and I’m not sure I’ll have anything ready much sooner than I would have if I started next week (assuming feature-complete bug-free betas are released next week, hahahahhaha).

@sirshannon @chockenberry I've heard of so many issues with the betas this year, especially around SwiftData, that I'm glad I haven't tried myself yet. 😅
