@sebjvidal +1 for you: iPad now respects scene geometry minimum size
@stroughtonsmith A-ha - thank you! Guessing through sizeRestrictions? Weirdly, UIWindowScene.Geometry's minimumSize property is still visionOS-only... Not a huge deal as it's read-only though

@sebjvidal you're right, not the geometry APIs, size restrictions

@stroughtonsmith as an aside, I went for dinner with Alexander at dub dub this year. We were reminiscing of the Tw*tter days when you'd ask what people were working on in the run up to dub dub and RT. Both of us got very excited when it was one of our apps πŸ˜„
@sebjvidal it's hard to see the app designs through all the swastikas over there, these days. I might do a thread here before the September event, if I get time to think about it
@stroughtonsmith swastikas aren't even the worst of it... πŸ˜” I would move over to Mastodon or Bluesky, but I've built a small following on the other site and just don't get the same quantity of conversations here. Just feels like shouting into the void.
@sebjvidal @stroughtonsmith That's a shame. I've just followed you, I'll try to offer intelligent communication (about app stuff!)
@amyworrall @stroughtonsmith followed back! 😊
