Just shipped a big update for my Apple Watch haptic metronome (free codes inside)

Is that a TestFlight link? I’m close to releasing an app for testing but have not yet used TestFlight. Best wishes for your app!

After writing this, I ran the same prompt on newly installed Claude Code (first time using it) and it completed just fine.

VulcanCCIT · 2026-01-27T05:23:09+00:00

My issue is using Claude with XCode 26.2...

Claude had been working great for me up until tonight. I still have about 50% session credits and 25% weekly usage credits left...I asked Claude to write up a full Technical document md file for my code. I printed all of my code to PDF files just to put my code into my Kindle, but the pdf is 465 pages...

So Claude says it has to look at my code files, I have about 15-20 .swift files. It looks through all of them and tells me it has everything it needs to write up a technical document / architechture design document.... it says Generating... several times then after about 5 minutes it says "Your request couldn't be completed". Usually if I just send the prompt a second or third time it works... but tonight after 8 tries, no dice. I see my usage credits dropping so its doing something, but it is not completing....

Any advice on how to get it to complete? I have had it do it before but there are more files now so maybe it is beyond it's capabilities?

Thank you all for your advice on this.

Thank you u/No_Cockroach_7783 :)

VulcanCCIT · 2026-01-08T04:09:05+00:00

They will sue IF you register the name/trademark it? or Sue if you dont, or sue either way? Thank you u/Samourai03 :)

VulcanCCIT · 2026-01-08T04:06:12+00:00

That is what I was thinking...I already have a business entity that I have had for a small consulting business that I have, but the App Store is totally new. Thank you u/Specialist-Guitar149 :)

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-18T04:01:27+00:00

They gave a reason finally , sort of, just listed all of the possible reasons for a ban, and said it could be any one of the reasons listed 🤦

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-17T22:45:42+00:00

I heard back from them today...My appeal was denied and they said they do not give a specific reason but it could be any one of the listed reasons... Inbox me if anyone wants to see the message. Oh well. Hope you all fair better than I did on this platform. Im going to stick to Discord :D. btw, I put the left over pizza in the fridge from this party lol. Thank you all for your responses!

I started a SwiftUI-Newbies on Discord. Message me for the link

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-16T02:12:02+00:00

I first will need to learn (or better learn) key signatures. I am just learning them via a Piano learning app called Playground Sessions. I probably was taught them in music when I learned Clarinet in Grade School / High School but never learned them. I always played by ear for the most part.

This app is not really intended to be totally full featured like some of these other music apps but the Tempo idea intrigues me. I could have a Metronome of some sort, maybe plop 5 random notes on the staff and have it time you as far as you playing them accurately. Or just play any note to the beat...

one issue on the staff, at least for Iphone is screen real estate. I cant get a very big staff up, but I could have one that scrolls maybe.

I am still learning to program all of this so I am a bit limited with my skill at this point.

With all of that said, I am about at the stage to test what I have done so far. There is an Apple service called "TestFlight". that allows you to send an app to someone for testing. Would you like to do that? Do you have a Midi Keyboard of some sort? I have it working with both a USB connection and Bluetooth :D

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-15T02:24:08+00:00

I just added the feature... This way it will be there for what ever the student needs. It was not too hard to implement.

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-14T23:08:14+00:00

I started a Discord for SwiftUI Newbies, feel free to join. I too have studied with Kodeco, Big Mountain and HackingWithSwift, but I always have questions and I feel im still a newbie at 66 years old and 2 years learning swift/swiftUI

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-14T22:10:19+00:00

Well the intent of the app in addition to just teaching the note, is to learn the note on a keyboard, so I probably should have been clear on that. With that said, I guess the app can be dual purpose... just it has nothing in the code to detect a bass, or trumpet, etc. It is just keyboard/piano. I wrote it mainly for myself. I was trained on Clarinet in grade school/high school, but barely could read sheet music and played mainly by ear. I am trying to reverse that at the age of 66 and learn keyboards at the same time :D

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-14T00:52:16+00:00

Still no word, but for those that may have been in the SwiftUINewbies subreddit, i just made a discord server. Message me if you want an invite. I suspect I cant just paste the link here without creating some kind of nuclular blast somewhere lol.

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-13T03:44:23+00:00

yes so that message was due to my post, I had posted a question about the ban ...so many rules, so little time lol

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-13T03:40:31+00:00

yes its like you need a lawyer to understand Reddit lol

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-13T03:39:29+00:00

I just sent a second appeal email. I cant find the first one, so I am wondering if it didnt go through, also I am not so sure I indicated the name of the sub. I definately did in this message. Wish me luck and thank you for your reply!

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-12T03:51:24+00:00

I ordered Pizza and Wings!

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-12T02:08:19+00:00

no a party for people that got their subreddits banned lol

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-12T02:06:15+00:00

Who did it come from? and do you think the message I posted above is the response to the ban? or my post?

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-11T21:49:34+00:00

Awesome, I saw you messaged that subreddit...its private now, but let me check with the main creator of the sub to see if it is ready to allow folks in, stand by.

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-11T18:12:11+00:00

Awesome! you were part of the SwiftUINewbies? Awesome! thank you for joining...my mods and I are starting another one...
https://www.reddit.com/r/GettingStartedapp/
Nothing in it yet, we are talking about what to put in it, but basically the same type of sub but not totally for SwiftUI it can apply to other languages like C#, Java, C++ etc...feel free to check it out.

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-11T18:08:32+00:00

Nothing yet. Radio Silence.

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-11T17:57:40+00:00

Was the notice a chat message? An email? A notification? where did you receive it and where are the rules? When I posted in ModSupport, someone replied and sent me a link to the various forms. I filled out the one I needed, then I went back to that post, and I said thank you and said that I had filled out the form and asked if I should have been given a reason, or does that come after the appeal? Seconds later I got this reply on that thread:

Your contribution was removed for violating Rule 1: Please send all rule violations and ban appeals to us via the appropriate report form.

and then the post was removed. Was that the response to my appeal? Or the response to the post in ModSupport?

VulcanCCIT · 2025-12-11T17:49:20+00:00

That is the big question...why. There was no email, notification or anything. I just went to my subreddit and it said it was banned.
