@chockenberry @jonathangrenier This also happened when we switched to Xcode 26. Glad we are not alone but this is annoying.

@chockenberry We are seeing this too, but only from Fastlane builds on our CI machines.

We found we can unstick it if we upload a build from Xcode manually. Then it works for about a week and has to be done again.

Apple DTS has not been helpful at all, being ghosted.

@steveriggins Same here, Pro Orange.

I didn't get to pre-pre-order until late last night though as I had to get a T-Mobile account open manually.

I think I found the permits Apple got for filming at the Chicago Michigan Ave Store. Looks like it was Aug 10-13th overnights.

Inspired by @StewartLynch's talk on Swift developer tips at #deepdishswift I wanted to share an accidental discovery of mine this week that'll save me so much time.

You can ⌘V paste any text into the Xcode Project Navigator and it'll create a new file for you!

(there is also a right click menu item for this "New File from Clipboard")

FYI we will be closing applications for the M1 iOS Staff Engineer role on Sunday night so that we have a more manageable amount of submissions to go through. https://mastodon.social/@mccarron/113845858614282434

Incredible iPad and iPhone stands inspired by the iMac G4. If you have a 3D printer you can make your own. https://makerworld.com/en/@EBengineering

With this and the Touch ID “button” mod I may finally have to get a 3D printer.

Finally getting a chance to check out @Aaronvegh’s Croissant app to cross post to Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky. It’s beautiful and perfect. Even love how it can tag mentions across the networks. Chef’s kiss.

Drove to the office today. As every time before it I put my iced coffee cup on the roof. While getting out of the car it slid off due to condensation and hit me in the back. Coffee lid thankfully stayed on but spilled some on my back and car seat.

Fast forward to me in the bathroom drying my shirt with paper towels and a co-worker enters seeing this.

This is why I prefer remote working. I can spill on my clumsy self and then change my clothes, and no one is the wiser.
