Could someone explain why Apple has put an iPhone chip in the MacBook Neo? Why? Is the future of the Mac based on iPhone-class chips?

Likewise, Apple has put a Mac chip in the iPad Pro, yet it still runs iPadOS. What’s the point of that?

What is Apple’s goal with this chip strategy?

I love the Midnight finish on the MacBook Air, I just wish Apple would offer it on the MacBook Pro.

I’m also a fan of the classic white MacBook. It would be nice to see it revived with modern MacBook Pro internals.

@tekguru If you launch the app, open the Settings window and switch to the Subscription or Tip Jar tab, you will see them there. You can also view them on the App Store page, just scroll down to In-App Purchases and expand the disclosure section.
@jonmsterling Thanks, Jon! It’s not possible to do that now. I’ll try to make it clickable in the future.

I’m excited to share that Oliphaunt is now available on the App Store!

It’s a Mastodon client built specifically for the Mac using AppKit with some SwiftUI. The goal was to create a well-behaved Mac application that follows the platform’s design language, adopts macOS idioms and feels natural to Mac users, rather than being a scaled-up iOS port, cross-platform app or anything else.

@Cykelero Yep, it has been renamed. The resolution list doesn’t have the resolution that I want. Plus, it distorts the rendering. I’m giving VirtualBuddy a try, I set the display to 2880 x 1800.
@Cykelero Could you please tell me a bit more about it? I have both, I find BetterDummy confusing.

What’s the easiest way to take screenshots for the Mac App Store?

You can’t just grab a screenshot from your desktop and upload it. They need to be in a 16:10 aspect ratio and exactly one of the following sizes:

• 1280 × 800
• 1440 × 900
• 2560 × 1600
• 2880 × 1800

Simply resizing a standard desktop screenshot would distort the image.

How are other people doing this without it looking stretched or skewed?

@amyworrall Congratulations! I love the 9:41 time in the screenshot, nice touch. How long did it take you to build it?

StoreKit 2: has anyone seen Transaction.updates or Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.updates stop emitting after the first purchase? In my app the initial transaction is observed (user-initiated or via Xcode Transaction Manager) but subscription renewals and later transactions never arrive. Same StoreKit config works perfectly in a fresh minimal project. Any known pitfalls or fixes? Happy to share details in a thread.
