Waiting For Review

What do our desktop setups and configurations look like? One of us is thinking ahead for a new MacBook Pro...

Meanwhile, Dave Nott has accidentally fallen into making a Mac app, thanks to Catalyst. Side by side with AppKit and UIKit rendered versions of the same app, Dave wonders what makes a Mac app?

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.

Special Guest: Daryl Baxter.

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.

Special Guests: Heidi Helen Pilypas and Ish.

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

A solid set of updates, with something for everyone. We look across the new line up, and the things in the event that stood out.

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.

Special Guest: Charlie Chapman.

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!
