Aaaand I release another Mac developer tool without a proper icon: StringsTranslator.
This one scans nib and strings files, e.g. from Finder, and then lets you search for text, for which it will then show you the desired translations.

Boosts welcome.
I shouldn't have looked. Now I see that not only it contains Cloud photos of mine in there, but also files like this 1.6MB(!) text file that basically consists of a few words interlaced by HUGE <span> tags with repeated attributes. The actual text content in that html is just 20KB. Who creates this nonsense and stores it on my disk, wasting space, possibly also in my iCloud?!? Yikes. I need to focus on the important things in my life.
In case you want to look for yourself, here's the rule to find those large dirs, using a scripted rule from https://findanyfile.app/scripting.html
I'm sure this can also be done with a Terminal cmd, but well, this looks easier IMO.
Here's a reason why it was a good idea of including the manual in my macOS app as an html file and not in any other format.
Basically, I get translation into _any_ language (provided the browser supports it) for free. Now even images with text get translated. Not ideal but much better than no translation at all.
I was just going to rant about TestFlight-installed apps (on macOS) not to share their Security (TCC) permissions with the regular MAS-installed app of the same bundleID, but this is even worse – a warning that installling such a beta might "lose the app's data".
WTF, Apple?!
Which dev would write their app so that it deletes the user's data without warning just because it's a beta? That's a bad general assumption and hurtful to us devs, as it'll cause unncessary worries with our testers.
And here's the mess that we now get in Tahoe if we add other apps to the Finder toolbar or show the proxy icon. So ugly.
My app's icons in the Dock look like this. My squircle design is a bit off-center but otherwise still works as intended.
The trick is to set the dock icon at runtime or even use a DockTile plugin

macOS (15.4.1) constantly fails to get my iPhone 14's connection state and battery level right:
iPhone (18.4.1) is on 5G and battery is nearly full but Mac thinks it's low battery and with bad connection.
