ASO question — if I have a keyword at a certain popularity and difficulty in a non-US locale, is that equivalent to a keyword with the same popularity/difficulty in the US? Or would it be weighted against the relative traffic that non-US AppStores get?

I had been waiting 20 years for a solution like this, and then companies go and screw it up!
Xcode 26.4 RC2 added a critical feature to agent support — the 'Allow All' permission is now applied to the specific CLI command, rather than just the use of the terminal
I was kind of shocked with the first release - hitting 'Allow All' before was effectively equivalent to running in YOLO mode 🤯
😬
Who do I get to dunk on if I can explain the two-line pass?
… turned into two months worth of work (well, 2 months in the 'old days'…)
All of these move me toward a 2.0 release I'm planning for mid year, so here we go!
A customer reached out this morning asking about a simple feature for Bills to Budget. It's something that's been on my radar for a while, so I started to pull on that thread.
I found two other key features that should be implemented first, if I'm going to do it right, so the 'simple' feature…

Interesting to see Xcode's Agentic AI using the terminal to run `xcodebuild` directly — this is good news, because I know many dev's who have created custom wrappers for this command, because its output is so verbose, even AI's can't parse it easily. This dogfooding should lead to improvements 🤞
Xcode's new Agentic support looks very promising, but am I missing something around permissions? Is the only way to get Terminal commands to run freely to allow ALL terminal commands?
This seems crazy for a company like Apple - I can't believe they shipped this without fine-grained permissions

It helps you manage the ups and downs, stay consistent, and see how far you've come.
OMG, this is the only Polish word that my grandmother taught me 🤣
Snowy days is fine - if you plan to use for cold days, we might need to dispute your definition of ‘cold’, though 🤣
I’m currently at a coffee shop, working on my Mac, wirelessly tethered to my iPhone. I’m also using ‘iPhone Mirroring’ to type this on my phone, from my Mac. I’m also on a phone call that I originated from my Mac, going through my phone.
I think it’s the future. We made it. Good job, everyone!

Hey, if you’re a one person business, contractor, freelancer or consultant with an iPhone, iPad or Mac, I’d really value your feedback on my new app. It does time tracking, invoicing, quotes and expenses so may be of use!
It’s on TestFlight now - here’s the link:

Major milestone achieved! 🎉
When the answer to a problem moves from “hmm, I need to dig deeper to understand the needs of my users” to “oh, I just fucked it up”, it’s a huge relief!
Congrats!!
On the plus side, this had impacted the growth numbers I had been tracking last year, and in the three days since I’ve fixed the issue, I seem to be right back on track! 🤞
My PSA for 2026 — make sure your CloudKit schema updates have been published to production. Don't ask why this is top of mind… 😳

Yeah, it kills me that I need to limit my usage and delete apps, then go to settings and realize that I’m only actually using 25% of the space I paid for
It fixed it at the time, but something is clearly wrong for it accumulated so quickly
At least your space is being taken up by real things - I apparently paid for 256 GB, but only get to use 64!
If storage gets _too_ low, the phone literally doesn't start, it just goes to a screen that scans the system for problems, finds none, restarts, and then goes right back into the same process again.
If iOS 27 really is going to be a "bug fix" release, I'd be happy if they fixed just this one issue!
