Just ordered through T-Mobile, estimated to arrive on launch day. 🤔 We’ll see if that sticks. Would be great to have a device for testing sooner than a month after launch.
We’re working on bringing @buffer to macOS!
I’ve been rebuilding our iOS app in SwiftUI, so we can now bring Buffer to entirely new platforms without much effort, including macOS and visionOS!
Join the macOS TestFlight and give it a spin! 👀

Getting close to submitting Alpenglow, just realized I need an iPhone Duo screenshot of my iMessage app without Messages available on the sim. 🫣
Pulling together the last bits of polish on @alpenglowapp for iPhone Duo.
First rejection for the new App Store Product Page Headers.
Turns out you can submit them while they are still processing. Mine seems to have gotten stuck in that state, so the reviewer couldn't see the video.
So make sure processing has finished before hitting submit!
A little sneak peek of @alpenglowapp on iPhone Duo 👀
I've been working on some new experiences that take advantage of the Duo's form factor.

If you're covering the iPhone Duo and would like TestFlight access, drop me a message!
Still plenty of work to do, but @Buffer is already feeling much better on the iPhone Duo after just a few hours with the simulator.
Feel like I say this every year, but I’m feeling a little behind on the iOS 27 updates for @alpenglowapp. Playing catch-up over the long weekend, so hopefully I’ll have something to ship. At least I’ve got a few non-OS-related updates all wrapped up!
Some Siri AI progress. Still a bit hit or miss whether it responds or opens the app, or digs up an email from 2016 saying it’s empty. 😂
Matthew always providing the answers.

In Siri AI, your unique app data can be referred to semantically using Synonyms.
Achieve this in your app by updating the App Entities or Enums with a set of Synonyms in the Display Representation.
Session: developer.apple.com/videos/p…
Wish App Intents supported aliases for entities.
“Alpenglow,” “Alpenglow app,” “Alpenglow Instagram,” and “AlpenglowApp Instagram” should all resolve to the same thing.
I had this working but I've not been able to replicate it in any of the betas since. 🤔
Got posts accessible to Siri AI in @buffer.
As Buffer doesn’t fit within any of Apple’s App Schema Domains, it’s still not entirely clear to me what’s possible from here.
