Can someone at Apple vibe-code their way into this not being an app-modal window that prevents me from doing any work until it completes?

@marcoarment this is the cue I use to start a new vibe coding session.

@marcoarment it still happens in the background if you hit cancel

@stroughtonsmith @marcoarment :O

@gklka @marcoarment the modal is for the 'build and run' action, not the cache copying 🤡

@stroughtonsmith @marcoarment So many wasted hours of my life...

@stroughtonsmith @marcoarment Well that's something.

@stroughtonsmith @marcoarment So hitting the modal kicks off the symbol copy, but then it continues if you cancel? This broke my brain, thank you!
Show threadSteve Troughton-SmithFeb 27
@Timschmitz @marcoarment yeah I believe you can also kick off the symbol copy from the Devices window, which is where progress is usually shown. It's the build-and-run that's modally dependent on that process having finished

@stroughtonsmith @marcoarment Late to this, but I was just playing around with Godot (open-source game engine) and ran into a similar situation. Look how much better Godot handles it (I’ve just clicked Close, which is offered in addition to Cancel).

This is not a difficult UI problem to solve.

@marcoarment Pressing cancel still continues the caching
You can also start this in the “devices” window(⌘⇧2)

@marcoarment I’m guessing … no
Show threadgokFeb 27
@marcoarment it keeps going if you hit "cancel", it just cancels the next action you had queued up (like Run)

@marcoarment could you possibly shift your work to another Mac while you wait? Grab a coffee?
Show threadNathan KingFeb 27
@marcoarment Yes, please!

@marcoarment You could try a different IDE. 🤷‍♂️
