BenRiceMAs far as I’m concerned, John Ternus has one job and it’s fixing Apple’s relationship with developers.
Whatever empathy might exist at the individual level is eradicated by bureaucracy.

Yes, exactly. That’s my main concern.
Apple’s relationship with developers has become completely dehumanized.
The few responses we get through the Feedback system are most of the time incredibly flippant.
NMDoernerI’m starting to pray every morning that some regression bug in iOS 27.x doesn’t completely break — or at least only moderately damage — my app.
And the scary part is: it can happen to any app, at any time. One OS update, one undocumented behavior change, one broken framework… and years of work can suddenly become collateral damage.

Apple shipped iOS 26.5 with a bug that breaks **all** apps requesting permission to read Blood Pressure data. I filed Feedback FB22652105 two weeks ago. I can’t believe it.
An engineer confirmed this bug last night: “Yeah, this seems to be a regression.”
I have absolutely no idea whether this bug will be fixed in iOS 26.5.

From time to time I check the reviews of apps made by the “real” developers — the ones with massive followers, always smiling, especially when talking with their Apple friends. Some of those apps even won awards.
Many of those apps have very low ratings. And you can read some absolutely hilarious reviews making fun of the developer.

Because of this bug, I removed blood pressure permissions from HealthFit because I have no idea when it will be fixed.
I filed Feedback Assistant report FB22652105 on April 29.

This goes beyond my understanding.
