Live Activities on Android… 👀 #indie #indieapp #kotlin #android

Hey indie Android developers how does it take for a public test on Google play to get the review? My app is marked "In Review" since last Wednesday ... #android #kotlin

DŌRI is now live on iOS. It’s a calm companion for creative practice — sketching, watercolor, painting, illustration. No streaks, no pressure. Just a gentle way to return to your art. The Android version is on its way. apps.apple.com/us/app/d%C5%... #swift #indieapp #mobile #mindful

By the way, my first app (native in Swift and Kotlin) should arrive soonish, the time for me to figure out Google Play Console and release processes work. 😅 … and when the AppStore review team will be able to open Craft hosted webpages… 😤 #swift #kotlin #indieapp

Tim Cook celebrating the “trouble makers” sounds really funny right now… 🤨

Am I the only one playing ping-pong with the App Store Review team for 2 weeks because they cannot open external webviews anymore? This is so unreal… 🤬 Bye bye external Terms of use… 😤

Shoobie is on Peerlist and if you’re on this platform, I would appreciate a little bit of support. 😊 #swift #indieapp peerlist.io/jeremieberdu...

I don’t think I ever imagined writing this one day. I’ve been building in the Apple ecosystem long before the iPhone existed… … and today I validated my Google Developer account. #indiedeveloper #swift #ios #apple #android jeremieberduck.com/blog/opening...

I don’t know what’s going on in the App Store review team but but the ping pong game continues with really “blocking elements”…. 🧐

🎏 Just in time for the March tournament in Osaka. • Brand-new iOS 26 optimized app icon • Widget fixes for improved stability and more accurate tournament data • Improved data reliability across the app • Performance enhancements for a faster, more responsive experience

Come on Apple!!! Let’s go with the review team! 😅

Asked to Codex in Xcode to translate some localizable keys… I was really not expecting to see it using Google Translate APIs for that… 😅

I’ve update this project to be generic for any Swift project and being able to work on existing project as well. Maybe should we start sharing this between us right? Let’s save some tokens (and energy) by not working on the same things. It’s based on the anthropic doc: github.com/jeremieb/swi...

I like alternative radios, but all radios apps sucks IMO, so let’s go a bit old school with that… Cover Flow still needs adjustments but it works. There is a macOS version ready as well, living only in the menu bar. 😊

I’ve been working on a small project quietly for a little while. DŌRI is a mindful companion for creative practice — sketching, watercolor, painting, illustration, digital art. Not to measure you. Not to push you. Simply to help you return to your practice, gently and consistently.

I’m starting to loose it… Anyone knows why the widget extension doesn’t want to use the distribution certificate? Manually chose certificate and provisioning profile is ending with Xcode refusing to connect to AppStore Connect. 😵‍💫

Finally! App Store review team is clearly overloaded by work at the moment… 😅 The new app icon is available in 3 colors for iOS 26 and the amount of bug fixes is so big I couldn’t write a decent release note.

It’s been too long… 🫣 This new release is packed with optimizations and bug fixes and: 1. A new name per market (not visible in the screenshot) 2. A new App Icon for iOS 26 (finally) …and now in French… Le Coefficient de Marée pour toute la côte atlantique, enfin ! 😊

Am I the only who has lost recent opened projects on Xcode 26.3 RC ? 🧐

I just published my instruction files for writing unit tests : github.com/jeremieb/swi... It’s a first draft, feel free to improve , updates, fork… I think it will help everyone. 😊 (also: Hi! It’s been a long time…)

WTF Apple? Original post: hachyderm.io/@igorkulman/...

🤣 Original post: mastodon.social/@bruces/1156...

Probably one of the smartest post I’ve read about the AI Boom until now. Humanity building things with our own limitations for understanding how it works. Imagine getting out of this… amazing and terrifying. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not. They've re-invented pop-under fraud (allegedly). news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4580...

Just started my journey with 3D printing, one concerns: the world doesn't need more plastic right? jeremie.pika.page/posts/fallin...

Kōtei 1.2 will bring the iOS 26 #6monthsworktofiguringouthowtoajustthelayout release… 😅 Currently waiting for review, should be there soon.

I remember the first time I used Strava, forgot which phone model it was, before the Apple Watch even exists, and it was nice. I've canceled my pro subscription last year regarding company's behavior, I might just stop using it now...😪 www.theverge.com/news/790922/...

The first chapter of a series about my journey into software development is out! “The Village, the MO5, and the Boy” is about growing up in rural France, discovering computers for the first time, and feeling that spark of curiosity that never really left me. ☺️ 👉 jeremie.pika.page/posts/the-vi...

One month in as a full-time Swift Developer 🎉 After 2 decades in product design, I made the switch—at 50. Stressful, bad timing, but worth it. Since I can’t stream right now, I started a small blog instead. If TikTok feels too short, maybe my posts are just right. jeremie.pika.page/posts/prolog...

Even after a couple of months using the beta, I was missing too much the launchpad (I’m part of the few), so I’ve created mine… and experimenting some tweaks. 😁

Anyone with a nice "Books to read" wishlist I can find ANY published books in wherever country? I was using Amazon as wishlist but those stupid fuck deactivate the search in another language for books. So my initial account was French, on amazon.fr I cannot search a book title in English ... 🙄

I think my favorite “looking glass” app icon for now is Flow, the pomodoro app. The specular effect on it fits just perfectly IMO. Love it!

Anyone figured out this mess on macOS 26 with the sidebars? Wherever I’m using TabView or NavigationSplitView it looks like this… 😥

I would like to suggest a change of name from macOS Tahoe for macOS Frankenstein… 😅

Am I the only one having XCode 26 RC freezing after talking with ChatGPT or Claude? Since day one... 😅

Any recommandation for a good multi-social client like Openvibe, but working well on the mac? I'm kind of done with those unfinished apps from iPadOS untested on the mac... 🤨

BBC radios locked outside of the UK since summer is one of those things remembering me the stupidity of locking video games geographically in the 90s… You have to be seriously crazy in the mind to think it’s going to be profitable for shows views and for the whole broadcast globally.

Tada!! 🎉

Even if you hate LLM, you have to recognize that an LLM would actually be a better government than the one running the US right now.

So in 2025 we are at one hair cut (not me of course) of self driving cars, AI will save us from cancer, but it is still not possible to automatically sync iCloud contacts with Google Contacts... Seriously? Am I wrong or stupid or something?

I've installed the last Android 16 QR1 with Material 3 on my secondary phone, a Pixel 8 Pro As designer, I'm starting to be a lot more attracted to Google new design system than looking glass... even if the UX flows are usually not the one I'm expecting, or feel wrong, the UI is really great. 👀

I love those guys so much! 🤣

I don’t really understand why Apple didn’t get full in to making Icon Composer able to edit shapes as well. Anyway, I recommend to start playing with it because building a nice glass effect is tougher than it looks… 😖 (and more than ever, checking the in a real device is MANDATORY).

That was a productive Saturday morning… 😅

This Dynamic Island looks unfinished design in my opinion…. 🤨

Deep linking always felt like some kind of rocket science 🚀 (“how is this even supposed to work?!”)… But this week? We’ve cracked it — and I’m super proud 😄 Kōtei 1.1.4 is live! ✨ You can now share nearby places 🌍 Featured places are now localized — more magic, closer to home. apple.co/42Ol8Pb

Finally Sketch is introducing long time overdue features: www.sketch.com/changelog/at...

With the job situation still going on, I’m struggling to be confident on myself. But those numbers are starting to look really great for a one guy project, right? These are the database entries per country and city on @koteiapp.bsky.social ☺️ #coffee #tea #specialtycoffee #mobileapp #indieapp

🥳 and 1.1.1 is almost there with a full support of a brand new CDN system... I pushed the limit of storing pictures on CloudKit, this is over soon... 😅

This morning I played a bit with the @telemetrydeck.com API on my macOS Admin app… 😊
