iOS and Mac app development is constant churn
4 hours ago
- iOS 27 beta introduced a crash in NetNewsWire caused by a broken transition between split view and compact mode.
- Crashes are most frequent on Pro Max devices and iPads, as reported in TestFlight feedback involving phone rotation.
- The developer expresses frustration over constant iOS changes that force unnecessary work instead of improvements.
- The fix likely requires specifying a separate compact view controller, as automatic split view collapsing may no longer be supported.
- This adds extra work and testing across multiple iOS versions (back to iOS 17), deemed a waste of time with no benefit.
