I was talking to my good friend and podcast co-host <a href=\"https:\/\/macaw.social\/@andypiper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">@andypiper<\/a> about this yesterday, and he asked why.  I thought about it long and hard.  While back in the twitter days I used this for two reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A fun way to show people how much time is being wasted getting meetings started with the hashtag #wastedtime<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A way to promote the app with a AppStore Url<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We discussed that this mode of app promotion was frowned upon in the Fediverse.  I also looked back at my apps number of users and marketing strategy and came to the realization that I had almost no-one who downloaded the app based on seeing the AppStore Url in a tweet.  Why would I think this would be different in the Fediverse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I want to play with the Fediverse API, I think I&#8217;ve decided that it would be better not to add support for Mastodon in the app.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the big features that I took away from the app a few years back, when I was completely rewriting it to support SwiftUI was the ability to capture ToDo&#8217;s during a meeting.  I think my time would be better spent working on adding that feature back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post Script<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was finally able to get my lasted update to the WatchOS version of Wasted Time submitted to the App Store yesterday.  I had been having issues with the app versioning.  Everything worked for the tvOS, <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelrowe01.com\/index.php\/personal-softwareandit\/wasted-time-for-macos-updated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"macOS\">macOS<\/a> and iOS versions of the app, but the watchOS version kept ignoring the new version number.  This cause the App Store to reject the upload every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I even spent time with Apple developer support for 2 months going back and forth to try and figure out what was going on.  No luck, until yesterday I was digging around in the many different configuration files, and found one that somehow got hard coded to an old version.
