I never learn. Each year I love the start of WWDC: The excitement of what is new, the demos of how Apple sees features working, and the inevitable download of new tools, apps, and operating systems. And this year, like WWDC19, something goes wrong. I picked up the new iPad Pro 11inch (with the M1), […]
While sitting at home and watching a live streams for 8 hours a day all week, is not the same as being at WWDC in person, I am really looking forward to see what Apple introduces this year. To prepare this year, I am doing the same as I did last year. I have setup […]
Wow, it’s already the end of May, and my last blog post was in February. Time sure flies when you work from home. Before WWDC happens this year I wanted to document my expectation. I talked about it during my podcast a few weeks ago, and even went out and bought a new iPad Pro […]
This past weekend I released updates to both WastedTime and WastedTime Watch. For WastedTime it was a minor bug fix, you can no longer end a meeting before it starts. Who would have thought of that one?! For WastedTime Watch, this was the total re-write I was working on. It is now much more colorful […]
Ok, I had basically gotten frustrated trying to change WastedTime Watch to a fully SwiftUI based app. Apple changed the App Entry point which had completely changed how the AppDelegate function worked. I thought this app was the simplest of my apps, so I could easily convert it to the new Swift Architecture. Boy was […]
Well, it has been three years in the making, and I am finally starting to feel that this app may be ready. I’ve not had much time to work on it over the three years, but I’ve used this app to learn CoreData and CloudKit. On Christmas Day, I finally broke through and fixed my […]
With the upcoming release of BigSur, I removed the Mac version of Wasted Time from the App Store a few weeks back. In the mean time the testing of the iOS version on the Mac has continued to be successful. I have run into a few problems with minor new updates, since the Mac Version […]
Just a quick note to say – Wasted Time for the Apple TV is now available. This is the perfect app for a conference room to show people how much it is costing to get a meeting started! Drop me your feedback!!! Demo on Simulator
One of the real benefits for users coming with macOS 11 and iOS 14, et. al. is that developers can now activate bundles for an app. I am working to create a bundle that will enable an iOS user to use Wasted Time on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS all with one App Store purchase. […]
As I continue to work on Wasted Time, I now have added working keyboard shortcuts, and menu items to both the iPad and macOS versions. I can’t wait for Big Sur and iPadOS 14 to come up so I can release these to the world. First a few screenshots The code ended up not being […]
