Some Gorgeous Displays

Some gorgeous displays at my MIL’s garden.

Back When I

Back when I first started working on Elytra (circa 2016), I realised that an iOS bug caused a UIScrollView to incorrectly adapt to changing the contentInsets at runtime.

Xcode Cloud + SharePlay

I’ve been thinking of how Xcode Cloud and SharePlay could play together to bring local iOS programming and simulation to iPads.

For My First

For my first day off work tomorrow, I was thinking I’ll make a shareable flight plan of all the forts in Maharashtra for FlightSim2020.

Today Is My

Today is my last day at my current company.

I Edited A

I edited a photo today after several months. My teacher from college is doing a session sometime later this week and this is the exercise.

This Is Going

This is going to be my first year at WWDC where I will understand most presentations. 

Since the last few years, most of the presentations at WWDC involved Swift code (unless it’s about Metal, or any of the Core Frameworks). 

I had take screenshots, try and understand what’s happening and translate it to Objective-C. 

Not anymore! I’m now a bilingual Apple Platforms Developer 🥳 and I’ll be able to follow along just like most of you all. 

I’m very excited for WWDC this year. Let’s get going! 

Elytras Summer Release

Elytra’s Summer 2021 Release has been one of the smoothest releases I’ve had for an app in recent memory.

I wrote three posts about the release on the app’s blog:

1. About the release itself and the general availability of the update. Link

2. About the availability of notarised builds of Elytra for macOS. Link

3. About the two bug fix releases I did over the past one week. Link

I’m glad I got all of this through before WWDC itself. I can not sit back, relax a little till WWDC week, and then after it is over, sit down to plan what’s next for Elytra on iOS & iPadOS 15, and macOS 12.

Since December Of

Since December of 2020, I’ve started to sleep earlier than I used to. It’s been mostly great for me. I wake up early, get some of my best work done between 7AM to 9AM and I end up with a lot of free time on my hands in the evenings which has also enabled me to play a game or two of Badminton with my brother.

An unexpected side-effect of this situation is that I am no longer awake when the apps I submit to the App Store for review go into the “In Review” state, get approved or rejected. I am no longer able to experience that sudden rush of anxiety, wonder and anticipation. 😅
