Developers, I recommend you do this asap: ask Codex to run your app and try to figure out how to do a task, without seeding it with any information.

It's like putting a new user in front of the screen, and watching how they operate it. It will very rapidly expose any problems you have in messaging or user education, and it's a little eye-opening if you've never (or not recently) run user tests.

Turns out, I have work to do 😅

Is it me or has the dark pattern of including “Action required!”, “Urgent!”, “Important!” and similar in marketing messaging from companies increased since the introduction of LLM-based notification prioritization in smartphones? 🤔

PS: This doesn’t really affect my notifications because I have those turned off for pretty much everything, but I still see the subject line or message eventually 😒

It looks like the CloudKit silent notification bug was caused by some sort of token validation added in iOS 26.4 that was dropping notifications from CloudKit. Fixed in iOS 26.4.1 by bypassing the validation for notifications that come from CloudKit

This is why I don’t ship my Mac apps in the App Store anymore

Fun fact: the "EnablePasteboardPrivacyDeveloperPreview" defaults flag on macOS doesn't just enable confirmation for accessing the clipboard, it moves the responsibility for an app's main menu from the app's own process into a separate system process (TrustedUIService). This means that the contents of the menus have to be serialized to be sent over XPC to that system process, breaking things such as custom SF Symbols in menu icons. I guess that's part of why it's still just a developer preview.
