😮‍💨 Well… Looks like we’re doing this. iOS 18, here we come! 📲

So I finally spent some time working w/ Icon Composer: it's great. What's even better is the seamless integration with Xcode as a drop-in file, eliminating the need for any unnecessary hassle with Assets etc. This is incredibly clean & well-executed Apple .

The happiest of messages that an IndieDev can receive on a weekend. I think this is the first time it’s getting approved on a Saturday.

My week is finally complete.

Yesterday, I took a break from @revenuecat.com #Shipaton and revamped the onboarding of @glusightapp, applying lessons from building MIRA. Iteration improves the process.

Today, I’m taking a full break. I’ve been building 16~19 hours daily for a month+. Time for a full pause and a day of rest.

When it's 2:40 am and you've used up your free tier for the month and need that sweet sweet Xcode Cloud CI/CD flavor.

Just submitted a new build for @glusight.app for App Store Review. Let's set the timer. 🚀

Welp! Time for some clean up. One of the best decisions I've made for my development needs was to get a 500 GB MacBook Pro instead of the 250 GB one. I actually never need to think much about space as dev tools are the only things I have on there. But it's nice to clean up once in a while.

@revenuecat.com #Shipaton updates: just integrated ReviewKit by @jeehut.bsky.social.

Another fantastic package for those who want to get stuff done without building it all from scratch.

I counted 1 crash overall. Not too bad. Overall, it’s been smooth.

@revenuecat.com #shipaton updates:
Settings ✅ Support ✅ Integrations ✅

I just finished the Settings, Contact & Support screen for MIRA, the video journaling app for self-reflection.

Next: landing page + required links for TestFlight & App Review. 🧘🏾‍♂️

Alright, about to put Xcode 26 Beta 5 through its paces. Let's see how many crashes I'll make it go through today. 😁

#iOSDev #IndieDev #BuildInPublic @revenuecat.com #Shipaton

Appreciate it!

Anyone has any excellent resources on implementing TipKit really well? I’ve implemented it before, but I feel like it could have been much better than the basics from Apple’s docs.

So if anyone has anything neat to share, I’d appreciate it. :)

📆Next couple of days: a few more bugs to squash, landing page, and TestFlight!

⛳️ @revenuecat.com #Shipaton updates: two days of work and I finally completed the onboarding flow for MIRA app. Absolutely the cleanest and most-in-app (try the features as you onboard) interactive flow I’ve ever built. Pretty happy of this one.

Anyone else games to get into focus mode? Solving puzzles on some days helps me focus better on what’s ahead. Today I’m working on the onboarding flow for MIRA app.

But I’ve finally gotten it where it needs to be. However 🤔, I might have to upgrade to the 100-hour compute just for August. TBD.

@revenuecat.com #Shipaton DevLog: Ugh 😣, over the 3 weeks, I’ve almost exhausted the 25-hour monthly compute provided in the free tier of Xcode Cloud. Let’s just say that the combo of iOS 26 & Tahoe beta for builds and tests in the cloud hasn’t been the most stable.

So umm… AppStore Screenshots when you’re building a camera-based app and need to show the camera view… Any ideas?

Dev Log: just a doppio, to actually get the day started. ☕️ ☀️

Slow start and then full focus on MIRA app.

#espresso #doubleEspresso #morningGrind #shipaton

Much deserved. Have a great chill day my friend!

But everything is now resolved.

The basic @revenuecat.com paywall is now displaying during the appropriate interactions (progressive disclosure).
@telemetrydeck.com integration is working as expected.
Great progress overall.

Tomorrow: RC dashboard paywall building work.

🛠️ #Shipaton update (MIRA app):
I had a long day working with Xcode project Build Phases scripts and Xcode Cloud CI scripting for MIRA. For some reason, I decided to take a different approach from @glusight.app & rewrite a significant portion of my ENV injection scripts. I shouldn’t have.

OK, it’s not just hype. It’s actually really… really good.

Woah…. Huge milestone… Just started the first Xcode Cloud + TestFlight build of MIRA. Should work, might fail. We’ll see…

It’s been one heck of a day. But getting closer to the first goal of the @revenuecat.com #Shipaton.

OK, good job Apple, iOS 26 Beta 4 is so much smoother on my iPhone 15 Pro. Great iteration: what a difference.

MIRA DevLog: 2025-07-20

Today I implemented:

→ New app localizations, including journaling prompts in: 🇫🇷🇬🇧🇵🇹🇪🇸🇨🇳.

→ Progressive disclosure for permission requests: avoiding permission fatigue.

Making MIRA more seamless & accessible for more users.

#shipaton #iOSDev #IndieDev #JournalingApp #journal

In Mira, you will get your journaling prompt in your system’s language if it is supported. We’re starting with 🇺🇸🇪🇸🇵🇹🇫🇷🇨🇳.

And yes the notification title will be localized. Just focusing on the prompts at the moment. :)
