Since the error we were getting said “You can only transfer sandboxed apps that are not *sharing* a group container” as opposed to “…have never shared…”, I thought there must be some mistake, and escalated to DTS. About a week later I got en email pointing me to this Developer Forums thread.

Here’s the deal. There's an app entitlement called “App Groups” (com.apple.security.application-groups) which allows your apps to share files. Turning it on is a simple matter of choosing it from a list in Xcode, and there’s no warning whatsoever of potential repercussions.

Oh the joys of playing outdoor gigs in Texas. Seems like it’s always either 105° or 45°. (Tonight it’s 45°.)

What a weird way to do an edit UI for a list/table. Does the @bsky.app iOS app not use native UI frameworks? Or did someone just think this was a good idea?
