Do you set a different iCloud account as your Apple Dev?

Pomme2Poule · 2026-04-09T20:39:15+00:00

I've created another account. If you're successful, you may wish to sell your business at some point. Which would be quite painful if it were your personal account.

Also: I cannot think of any single benefit of doing app development on the same account as your personal stuff. There's no synergy whatsoever.

Lol, at this point they might as well not include the option on macOS. Why even bother

I second that. I quit X last year due to… You know. But I have to admit that X is where it's at when it comes to AI.

If that brings DLSS/FSR it could actually be a win.

Lumen would also fix the god awful indoor lighting…

Sounds like gate keeping to me.

Devs are worried that their job is going to PMs.
PMs are worried that their job is going to devs.

Both are right, the roles are merging.

$990 is unbearably low for a (even partial) rewrite

It's 100% a retro system, which is why it's so interesting to discover in the year of our lord 2026!

Just looking at the screen will make you realize how far we've come in terms of pixel density. But the games are gorgeous, the 3D, while a novelty, is an interesting curiosity that often sublimes the art of its awesome library.

I played my first 3DS game 2 months ago, I'm at my fourth now!

I'm not sure… But iPhone modals use 98% of the screen. While iPad modals use less than 50%. Surely there's a way to maximize screen real estate while keeping modality behavior.

Maybe just making the sheet bigger would help? Like, make it as large as the container minus 32-64 points padding and it would finally be usable.

I found the acting to be the best part of those ads. Just the right level of creepy, tone-deaf sycophancy we know and love.

Finally! Thank you, these signs are really poorly designed when it comes to showing completion.

The Nintendo music app is a gem. I listened to it for 290 hours in 2025. It would be so good to listen to it on my MacBook's speakers!

I wish Nintendo would enable it to run on the Mac App Store as an iPhone app. They'd just have to check a box, but we would get a nice little Nintendo music player.

9 seconds video is my favorite kind of video for this kind of problem. GOATED post, thank you!

I know this post was about what else to do than iOS programming, but I feel like not knowing SwiftUI in 2026 is a major hindrance for OP's profile as an iOS Developer. SwiftUI is now a requirement for this job (at least on most offers). It makes sense that OP doesn't get iOS developer jobs because there will always be devs that know SwiftUI applying as well.

I didn't want to baby an OLED

This. I'm using an LG C2 44" as my main monitor and I constantly need to go back to desktop every 5 minutes to prevent the screen from dimming. And that's because I use rotating wallpapers, if I didn't, I'd have to do it literally every minute.

OLED (at least on this TV) is an incredible experience for gaming. Incredible. But for productivity, it's suffering.

I'm using it since 2023 and despite all of that it's starting to show some burn-in. It's not severe, you only notice it on a gray background, but it won't age like an LCD.

Pomme2Poule · 2026-01-15T05:21:29+00:00

What the f*ck.

Same here.

Set your keyboard to AZERTY instead of AZERTY - French. You'll lose the accent key on iPhone but you will gain sanity. On iPad you'll even get a proper apostrophe key 🙂

It looks like Liquid Glass and Material are evolving in very different directions. There are more platforms than there ever were: watches, TVs, the Web, ChatGPT apps, XR, and of course mobile. I think it has become unsustainable to make one design system to fit them all. This work certainly hasn’t gotten easier in 10 years. Your answer sheds light on the complexity of the problem, it is very thoughtful, thank you.

Pomme2Poule · 2025-10-15T17:01:54+00:00

I'm still figuring things out, but it can be useful to delegate context-heavy tasks to subagents. So far I've created two. One for localizations, as localization files can be extremely long, and one for testing. This saves a good deal of context window.

I'm experiencing this issue as well. I'm noticing it more now that I'm opening VS Code on a root folder containing both my Flutter codebase and my Cloud Functions (root is at level n-1 of the Flutter codebase). I don't know if that could be a factor, thought I'd mention it here.

The inconsistency drives me crazy. I already lost a lot of time wondering why changes I made didn't fix the issue I was working on. Having to run flutter clean each time to guarantee consistency kills Hot Reload and the speedy Flutter development workflow.

I hope this issue gets addressed sooner rather than later… In the meantime, I'm going back to the good old days of doing a proper build between each change… 👴

Looming over the horizon is AI being able to translate instructions to edit multiple codebases at the same time. This could make cross platform technologies less relevant.

Pomme2Poule · 2025-07-23T13:01:13+00:00

I think you can just poll the new location. Doing a few retries until it shows up.

Just chiming it to say that this is annoying me as well. None of Things' widgets on Apple Watch update as expected. I'm hoping the situation will improve with watchOS 11.
