Nothing could go wrong sending a random binary to people. 🤷‍♂️

Look I get it, there is some annoyance when it comes to distributing potentially malicious binaries on iOS. And I do wish there was some kind of method for removing that restriction buried deep in some menu where your grandma can’t find it. But the methods for sending apps outside of the store are there and are very easy.

It’s obvious to me that you’ve never done this, because you’ve not mentioned the biggest hurdle in this process. No I won’t tell you.

I’ve never had a problem with certificates. But then again, I’m an actual developer.

True, but it’s a per-build expiration, and users usually have it auto-update. So as long as you maintain your app and release an update every 90 days, they’ll never know.

I don’t think you understand? TestFlight is a program from Apple that allows distributors to send apps to people without it being in the store. TestFlight is actually very cool for developers who want feedback, crash reports, in a very polished environment. It’s Genius.

The TestFlight app just gives you access to the apps you have available to you. Like a Store. Genius.

Wow, someone knows nothing about macOS lmfao.

TestFlight

I once had a job interview for a friend’s company and they told me that their boss values that chart and how it would not look good that mine was empty… Because I wasn’t using GitHub… So I made a script in a private repo to postdate commits randomly for the past several years. Once I pushed it, it looked like I’d been working on private GitHub repos frequently. I guess the guy didn’t care as long as it had lots of green.

I’ve also seen people make art with it, which I think is very funny

This is true. Perhaps native cross platform UI development should be as easy as web based desktop apps.

Only if you use electron. There are lots of light(er) weight alternatives.

Seriously. We all died of covid.

I don’t care about sleep, the blue is painful, the yellow is not.

I use little snitch on my Mac. I’ve always hated how it wasn’t available for Linux. I understand that some people don’t like proprietary software, but there have been no cases of anyone suggesting this developer is untrustworthy. I know that’s a gamble, but even with open source software… Is anyone Actually looking through that code themselves? No.

Having the software installed has pointed out how many applications actually ask for an Internet connection. It tells you exactly where they’re going, And you can block specific domains and IP addresses from specific applications. It gets very fine grain.

Anyway, I like it and I think everybody should be running at least open snitch.

Then use opensnitch

Yet the best performance and longevity
