Waiting For Review

A single leaked image about the 16" and we're straight into reading the tea leaves for the new MacBook Pro. It's not quite looking like the machine Dave Nott has pined for, but the predictions are still fuzzy as we record. Dave Nott has a wobble with his indie development plans and is second guessing which project he should pick up with the time he has. We get into approaches for getting an idea of the scale of a project, cutting scope and planning features in an order that lets shipping happen sooner.

macOS Catalina is here, which means Catalyst (formerly known as Marzipan) is here! We discuss Catalyst, what it means for the platform and how it may impact how we build apps.

We're joined by our good friend Daryl Baxter. A writer and podcaster who covers gaming with a vintage lens, iPad, and Apple. We catch up and chat about Apple Arcade, iPad OS and what might be coming from Apple this October.

While Dave Nott awaits announcements of new Macbook Pro hardware, he's getting deeper into his Raspberry Pi. His commandline expertise is increasing, and this will only pay him back when he's back on the tools for his upcoming iOS app. Meanwhile, Dave Wood is getting back into marketing mode, putting together a new landing page for version 2.0 of his app GoVJ.

Dave Nott doesn't like iOS 13's Dark Mode, and tries to figure out some technical challenges with the new app he's developing. We troubleshoot live on the show and explore the options. Meanwhile Dave Wood is looking at ways of increasing his revenue from his existing apps, without spending lots of time on new features.

In a special episode, our guests are Heidi and Ish, creators of Capsicum App and more. Capsicum is a beautiful daily planner app, chock full of features and a unique design. Heidi and Ish were previously on the show over 2 years ago, when their app was still in it's early stages of development. We welcome them back to the show to talk about their launch experiences, the highs and lows of seeing massive public interest on day one, and where they're taking it next.

The Apple September 2019 hardware event arrived like an early Christmas! New phones, iPads, watches and more

We return, fresh from our summer/winter break, with a brand new season! This week we have a very special guest on the show, Charlie Chapman, developer of the app Dark Noise. Charlie has had an amazing launch and start for his app. We dig into how he developed Dark Noise, and his experiences of releasing the app and gaining great success with his launch. Waiting For Review is a podcast from Dave Nott, and Dave Wood. To join our podcast's slack channel, drop us a message on twitter at Waiting For Review (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast).

Dave Nott installs Catalina on his unsupported Mac to dig into Xcode 11 and Swift UI... Meanwhile we've a bit of an announcement to make. We're taking a short break across the summer (in the Northern hemisphere at least!), and will be back in a few weeks with Season 2 of the show. Until then, you can reach us at our Slack channel, and catch up with us on Twitter. We'd like to give a huge thanks to all listeners of the show, and we'll be back with you soon! www.waitingforreview.com @davenott @davidgarywood Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

After realising we have little to no plan for this weeks show, we handily remember that we got new MacBooks last week - phew! We discuss the new 13" MacBook Pro, the rather interesting 1.4Ghz CPU that sits within it and reflect a little on the 12" MacBook.

We start the show with discussion of random videos online and deep fakes, before getting into the process of rebooting development on an indie app. Dave Nott's scheduled return to indie development later this year leads us to wondering, what might an ideal indie balance be like, and might full-time, actually be a bad thing?

Jony Ive is leaving Apple, and we reflect on this from a human point of view - what might it have felt like in his shoes? Dave Nott is looking forwards to a 16" Macbook Pro, with the latest rumours doing nothing to dissuade him from dreaming big! Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

One of us has a leaky roof and a poorly car, the other is getting ready to ship an update to AirSynth, and we both have a good rant about real free trials and upgrade pricing on the App Store. AirSynth Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

This week, we go all over the map as we discuss how useful we find our Apple Watches, why Apple should make a consumer level monitor, and how Swift UI changes everything we do. Some fairly big changes are on the horizon for Dave Nott, so we dive into what's going to happen. Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

The Mac Pro! Swift UI! iPadOS! This dub dub was absolutely packed full of lots of new things. We unpack these, and their impacts for developers in the Apple eco system. Meanwhile, Dave Nott went unexpectedly viral with a tweet about ARKit and the Mac Pro...

As it's the last show before WWDC, we talk about some of things we hope to see from the Keynote on Monday. Join us next week too, as we start to unpack all of the announcements afterwards. Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

We begin the show with a trip down memory lane, as Dave Nott does some retro gaming. Dave Wood takes stock of things, after an incredible week of being featured on 9to5 Mac during the launch of his new app, AirSynth.

Dave Wood gets an app store rejection, and Dave Nott has been busy shaping (and reshaping) the design of his news reader app that's in the works. Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)

Dave Wood has finished development on his new app AirSynth. We discuss the finishing touches needed to send it to the App Store. Dave Nott throws a spanner in the works when discussing the payment model - has Dave got the right one? We discuss the pro's / con's of paid up front v.s. freemium for a small novelty app, automation of App Store screenshots, and motivations for putting a small app into the store.

Email vs Slack and yet more rumoured delays for Intels 10 nanometer CPUs. If it's to be believed, we could be in for many more "lakes" before we get a 10nm MacBook Pro. Music by Broke For Free Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0 US)
