  1. A note on the inconsistency between group identifier naming conventions between iOS and macOS:

  2. Got code-signing errors down to one, and it’s in a third-party library that bundles a bundle (any ideas)?

  3. In code-signing hell. Wish there was a way to encounter these issues earlier than at App Store submission time and with a better flow.

  4. But we’re cool with Saudi-style democracy so this is nothing, amirite?

  5. Police clearing the Batman municipality offices. Turkish-style democracy in action.

  6. Film spotlighting the to be released soon; starring Christian Bale & Oscar Isaac • The Promise 📽

  7. WikiLeaks journalist Sarah Harrison on 's great escape, upcoming Hillary Clinton documents and more

  18. Just watched Captain Fantastic. Floored. Beautiful, human, heartbreaking, inspiring, tender. 🎈
