@stroughtonsmith I hope the EU forces Apple to allow users to install other operating systems on iPads and iPhones. Let people unlock the bootloader if they want to. Like sure keep it locked by default but let people unlock it if they want to. Old iDevices don’t have to be e-waste
DgarHow to write good.
1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
5. One should never generalize.
6. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Sentence fragments? Eliminate.
9. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
10. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
11. Who needs rhetorical questions?

Mario GuzmánIf you ship an app for macOS, please do this! I hardly see this at all with Mac apps.
In your info.plist, add `MDItemKeywords` and the value is a list of keywords for your app separated by commas. This will show up in your More Info window for your app under “Keywords”.
Why is this useful? Let’s say you make a Mastodon client app called anything BUT Mastodon, if you throw “Mastodon” in this list in `MDItemKeywords`, searching “Mastodon” in Spotlight would surface it as a search result!
Hendrik@christianselig Thanks for the warning, I had no idea and always considered UserDefaults one of the (few) APIs that “just work”. But it seems like this issue has been around since iOS 7 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/15685

Beware UserDefaults: a tale of hard to find bugs, and lost data
Excuse the alarmist title, but I think it’s justified, as it’s an issue that’s caused me a ton of pain in both support emails and actually tracking it down, so I want to make others aware of it so they don’t similarly burned. Brief intro For the uninitiated, UserDefaults (née NSUserDefaults) is the de facto iOS standard for persisting non-sensitive, non-massive data to “disk” (AKA offline). In other words, are you storing some user preferences, maybe your user’s favorite ice cream flavors? UserDefaults is great, and used extensively from virtually every iOS app to Apple sample code. Large amount of data, or sensitive data? Look elsewhere! This is as opposed to just storing it in memory where if the user restarts the app all the data is wiped out.
Remote BuddyThis weekend, we released Remote Buddy 2.6.1 with an important fix for macOS Sequoia.
For the smoothest experience, please install the update before installing macOS Sequoia.

Longplay is the iOS and visionOS app for music lovers who enjoy listening to full albums but have a hard time finding them in their music library. It provides a beautiful view of the album artworks of the (near) complete albums in your music library with one-tap access to play them.
Thomas TempelmannA nice side effect of using FindAnyFile on your Time Machine volume is that it can alert you about structural errors on your TM volume, which might later prevent you from restoring all your data. FAF has alerted users hundreds of time about this in the past.
You could as well just run Disk Utility's First Aid check on the TM volume, but many don't ever think of that.
