I didn’t enable the global opt-out for tracking in iOS to see which app would be first to request it. I was honestly surprised no other app triggered it before Hearthstone just now.

Apple Pay is now available in Mexico: www.apple.com/mx/apple-…
Now the real adventure is finding a place where you can actually pay with it, like it was in its early days in the US.
Today’s App Store metadata rejection for information needed: “Please provide the location of widgets.”
Uh… the same place as any other iOS widget?
It was weird sending instructions to Apple for accessing widgets in iOS 14. Basically used the same snippet I keep for support.
I am blown away. Widgets and extensions seem to be working for iOS apps running on M1 Macs. Here’s Pinstachio’s share extension working after being summoned from Safari.
My M1 Mac mini arrived today, so of course the first thing I did was download my favorite iOS apps to see how they fared in macOS. In the end it was 50/50 for me whether an app was good enough to remain installed or not.
I gave my parents a HomePod mini each for Christmas. My mother did not know what it was based on the box alone. Basically all it had were pictures and the word “mini” on it. “HomePod” was very small and not that easy to read, color-wise. I guess that’s an Apple package for ya.
I just got the email from Apple welcoming me to the App Store Small Business Program. Nothing special on it, but still welcome.

If you use Pinboard for bookmarking, I hope you’ll give it a try.
It’s so satisfying getting a book you preordered on your iPad as 11 PM hits (CST), knowing you’ve got a couple of hours of reading time before sleep.
It’s even more satisfying when you’re on vacation, so you can read a bit more.
Cherry on top: the book is Ready Player Two.
It’s definitely a fingerprint magnet… but I love how the blue, shiny, metal band around this pacific blue iPhone Pro looks.
Small delay with UPS or not, the big blue phone is here ahead of the 18th originally quoted by Apple on checkout!
Opinion you’ve heard hundreds of times before: the PS5 is an absolute unit.
Welp. So the big blue phone I ordered definitely made it here for launch day, but won’t be delivered by UPS because of… who knows?… until next week.
Oh, good! The monolith I ordered is here even if a few days late.
Looks like my big blue phone is being prepared for shipment regardless of an estimated delivery date of the 18th…?
I’ve finally updated my main Mac to Big Sur. Shiny.
All new phones and their varying capacities and colors have a delivery date of the 18th here, so maybe it’s a quirk of my location.
I wasn’t able to secure a launch-day order because either I wasn’t quick enough or it’s a quirk of my new location, but my new blue phone should get here on the 18th.

Tropical storm Zeta is expected to become a hurricane shortly before hitting us here in the peninsula. After my last frenzy with Delta, I’ve decided to post no more about it after this. 🙃
I am so relieved that after weeks of issues I was finally able to pay the Apple dev membership. I’ll try to have a beta of a new app that I’ve been working on as soon as possible… almost complete. Motivation is returning… Apple had drained my motivation with these issues.
It looks like it’s over. Light rain remains. Biggest event was a small tree falling in the backyard, but no damage. Power was unstable as expected, but held well. So glad this is over. I heard other areas like Cancun did not do as well, sadly.
Delta hit land and went down to a cat 2. It is now starting to hit us. Sky looks scary and it’s raining, but that’s it so far. Let’s wait and see what the next couple of hours hold.
Delta is now a category 4 hurricane. And to think when I posted this morning it was a 2.
We still have the remnants of Gamma above us; now here comes Delta!
