Looks like this tool can provide a jailbroken environment for the latest iOS versions whereas one does not exist on iOS simulator or a real device

Comment is a bit of an aside, but it's a shame what happened to JSONFormatter.org. The UI was preferable to alternatives for me, it ranked highly in Google so I could just search "JSON formatter" and access it, etc.

Now the site freezes 50% of the time when loading it on my Mac and when it doesn't freeze, there's a 5 second period of waiting before I can paste any input. Not to mention ads taking up 40% of the screen. The classic tech cycle of life.

Here's a few recent ones:

1. Xcode 15's "Replace Container" feature replaces the app container with incorrect permissions that results in the app not being able to write to its container (ex. the documents directory). This is an important feature for debugging and flat out doesn't work.

2. Apple's AVPlayer has an API called MTAudioProcessingTap which allows you to get access to low level audio data. Since iOS 17.1, it is not possible to have more than one MTAudioProcessingTap running at the same time.

3. AVPlayer's `addPeriodicTimeObserverForInterval` function will randomly stop calling back to its observer, and never recover, when connected to an Apple TV via AirPlay on iOS 17.

Issue 1 makes debugging more arduous. Issue 2 stops my app from being able to crossfade audio together or play more than one audio stream at once. Issue 3 requires me to build my own time observer which is further technical debt, versus being able to rely on Apple's API.

I've spent hours debugging each of these and trying to find a workaround before resigning myself that it's a platform issue and relegating myself to abandoning that specific API or feature.

I estimate that around 10% of my Feedback Assistant reports ever receive a reply or acknowledgement.

These are for reproducible bugs in iOS, for which I've provided an isolated sample project with a 100% reproduction rate. It takes time to create a thoughtful and detailed bug report and the lack of replies are beyond frustrating. I'm glad to see this post and couldn't agree more.

Oh 100%. Some of them have banned their accounts while others cap them to a $1 max bet. It’s insane.

The advent of sports betting has become so fatiguing. It's impossible to watch a football game without back to back to back betting commercials. Announcers pre-game talking about odds, over-unders, etc. I can't help but feel like the chickens are going to come home to roost.

I've had a bunch of friends that went from never gambling to spending a few hundred dollars per Sunday placing random bets. All destined to lose eventually due to the insane 10-15% vig (ie. a coin flip is priced at -110 or -115).

The few friends (sharps) that I had that were able to earn a profit over a large enough sample were all eventually backed off by the major sports betting sites. One site backed off a large long term winner in order to "protect the player against creating a compulsive habit or addiction". It's literally a racket. You can't win long term. You can only lose.

I push telemetry to Amazon CloudWatch (my infrastructure is on AWS) and then setup alarms accordingly. If I'm concerned about a service failing or becoming unresponsive, it's easy to create an alarm based on the existence or non-existence of data.

Hard to really say without having more details about your app and its user base. Personally speaking, having my content interrupted by some sort of audio ad, even by the content creator, is 100x worse than ad banners or other visual ad content.

With the way Google and other providers have shutdown accounts with impunity, it’s hard to think of anything but a custom domain being a safe option.

It just tracks country/city info for internal stats based on IP address. Nothing more granular. Source: built it

Right? I have never understood the frustration around named parameters like this. It helps reduce cognitive load quite a bit.
