New Screenshot sizes?

New Screenshot sizes?

Butterkit 3.0 just gave me this warning, and I am not sure where this requirement exactly comes from? Just uploaded my sizes as always and had no issues. When will this become a mandatory requirement? I am not seeing any heads-up in AppStore Connect so far.

Reviving a pulled app

Quick questions for those who might have done it (or tried and failed): I developed and published a game in 2009, fully Objective-C then. It was quite successful and fun to play, but I had to pull it from the AppStore a few years ago when I hadn’t had the time to do a migration to Swift, followed by a lot of deprecations when Apple basically abandoned the Gamecenter that I never could really clean up. The whole app still shows up in my dev. account.
I am now thinking of recreating that idea, more modern of course. I was wondering whether I could simply replace the app, just even keeping the Icon (which I think is still great as it is) and revive that exact pulled app that way with a renovated version?

Glimpsy V3: create your truly personal watch face!

Most of you know Glimpsy by now as your tiny utility to hide the battery while it's still charged enough, and either just hide it to keep your watch face clean, or combine it with a date complication to save precious space on your watch. Version 3 is now the biggest update so far, with a complete overhauled and extended Glimpsy that will allow you make your watch face truly unique:

  • Works now from watchOS 10.5/iOS 17.5 on (i.e. from Series 4)
  • Amulet: show a photo of your loved one (or any photo) in circular complications
  • Insignia: Emojis or up to 3 characters everywhere
  • Photo background for rectangular complications
  • Different styles, all completely separately configurable
  • Full preview for all complication types
  • A lot more new configuration options to make your watch truly personal
  • All of course by keeping Glimpsys signature feature: show the battery only once it gets relevant

Just use the 7 day free trial phase with all the features to test how it can help you customize your watch faces! After that it's just a tiny one-time permanent license fee -- no subscription!

Shortcuts amnesia?

Beside all the other issues around navigation and the crazy CleanGenius mode...is it just a "me"-problem that my Ultra X50 constantly (but not consistently) "forgets" shortcuts? I use to have & want 5 shortcuts, and it keeps them also for a while, but then it tends to forget some of them randomly, like if it's only capable of remembering 3 at most over a longer period. I haven't found any pattern or root cause as to when they disappear. Sometimes when I want to execute them, they are suddenly gone.

Now it got me as well…

When I saw all these images of crazy X50 suddenly just going in circles, I thought —- yeah, funny…other people‘s problems. Mine is just fine. Nope…it Isn‘t. And it‘s almost new. I mapped twice already. It going suddenly in crazy circles and pathes that make no sense. It swirls around forever, not completing anything in a meaningful order. It ignores a carpet mat. It doesn‘t go under a low area (where it went before). What are you guys doing in this case? Could you solve it?

If you are creating localizations for Asian or Arabic languages...

...and have no clue what you are seeing there 🫪 -- here is a tip:

Butterkit can not correctly wrap Asian or Arabic -- it's just wrapping where a line ends and easily separates words that would need to stick together to not mess up meaning. But you can just feed the screenshot into AI and let it review the whole thing and propose proper breaks.
You have to either manually enter them then, or have it connect via MCP server to Butterkit. AI will then fix it for you! If MCP doesn't work (like for me, unfortunately ATM), it just grabs the Butterkit document and modifies the JSON content straight away 😃

I am a bit confused and maybe it is totally something I messed up myself, but right now it seems that with the latest Xcode update (26.4) there is no longer watchOS as a platform to test for conditional compiling? Did I miss something along the way?

The Platform structure now looks like this (comments stripped...) -- so watchOS is missing:

public struct Platform : RawRepresentable, Equatable, Hashable, Sendable {
  public let rawValue: String 
  public init(rawValue: String)

  public static let iOS: AppStore.Platform
  public static let macOS: AppStore.Platform
  public static let tvOS: AppStore.Platform
  public static let visionOS: AppStore.Platform
  
  (iOS 18.4, tvOS 18.4, watchOS 11.4, visionOS 2.4, macOS 15.4, \*)
  public typealias RawValue = String 
}
