We just shipped a big update to our BeCasso app family: Projects 🎨.

Users can now save any edits as a project and come back to them whenever they want. We've also redesigned the start and finish screens to make managing the work feel a lot more intuitive.

This was a major engineering effort by our small team at Digital Masterpieces. Proud of what we've shipped here. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

@Iconfactory Is there any chance for a Black Friday discount for Tapestry? 😇

We found that the Image Playground sheet for SwiftUI is way too small on some platforms. So we implemented a better version:

I wrote a rather in-depth blog post about my recent turmoil with App Review.

I tried *really* hard to keep it constructive, and I’d like very much for some of the failures that occurred here to be worked on by Apple.

I'd appreciate some signal boosting.

Daniel Kennett - The Bumpy Road to Cascable Studio: App Review Strikes Again

I'm stuck in absolute app review hell at the moment with the Mac version of my app. At this point, it's just the iOS app built for Mac — all the special Mac-only features have been stripped out, and the entitlements are the same that the iOS version has had for years.

Yesterday I self-rejected because it was stuck “In Review" for over 24h.

The stress from all this is *killing* me. I first submitted it two weeks ago! Any visibility boosts would be greatly appreciated.

I've converted about 32 Ivory icons into SF Symbols, but still don’t know the right process to create them as I keep getting this error. I understand the issue, but don't understand why these design apps are creating messy vector points when converting simple strokes into fills. Aside from manually editing points and trying to match the original shape, I'm at a loss on how to do this. Apple needs to put out a video showing how one of their designers creates one of the more complex SF symbols. 😩

As a developer based in the EU, of course I want to be able to sign on to Apple's new business terms and access the hard-won benefits of the DMA (like external distribution).

But there’s no way I ever would with the specter of a CTF hanging over, even if I never build an app that hits 1M annual downloads.

@rileytestut tried to convince me to build something for AltStore, and I've had several huge Cydia-distributed projects in the past. But Apple's new business terms are currently a no-go
