Good news: There should be an updated version of Playground Secrets awaiting iBooks customers. Apple is looking into why my updates over the summer did not get relayed to customers. This issue does not affect anyone who bought from LeanPub.

Expect another Playground Secrets update soon beyond this. I’m still tweaking to the final Xcode/Swift 3 release. Look for revision 3.5 to debut shortly. It will have “Swift 3, Xcode 8” at the very top.

Good news: I’m also updating Documentation Markup. A preview of some of the changes I address is here. I’m probably going to include at least some of the points I made in my essay about past you and future you.

Good news: The response to the Swift Celebration Bundle has been so strong that I’m extending the sale until at least the end of this week. Thank you everyone!

Bad news: Some nice Xcode features have gone away. Remember this, which picked up information from the structured markup?

It’s now gone. Xcode no longer shows the abstract for the selected match.

Badder news: Xcode fuzzy completion is so relaxed and shows so much stuff that it can be really hard to find the API you actually want. There can be literally dozens of pages of completions for certain APIs.

Good news: After months of going back and forth with Bluehost technical support, they seem to have finally found something slowing down responsiveness. Hopefully this site will be slightly zippier. Not promising great responsive time but there should be fewer 504 errors and database errors and timeouts.

Helpful non-news: Make sure you check your iTunes Connect account to review your old applications. Not all notices are getting sent about the 30-day “you must update this old app” period. If you have some older titles, take some time to check on them.

Helpful extremely non-news: For whatever reasons, you must adhere to standard iTunes Connect dimensions when uploading Book screenshots. The books side of things won’t tell you what they are, but they are: 1024×768, 1024×748, 768×1024, 768×1004, 2048×1536, 2048×1496, 1536×2048, 1536×2008.
