They’re different bundle IDs so probably not. I thought I remembered inviting you to the beta group at one point?

You see the app icon in the tvOS TestFlight app right, just no builds? I think auto update is probably installing a build for ya then my automation is expiring it at some point after.

Good suggestion, thank you!! I think my build automation may be expiring tvOS builds too eagerly. Either way build info would be helpful 👍

The app intents in the latest Bops release have totally changed how I interact with my Sonos system; I barely use an app at all to adjust volume / group membership! Just two shortcuts in my Action Button folder.

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

kinda amusing that the easiest way to film such a video for App Store Review is ... my meta glasses 😎

it was! though the drinks have changed the front patio there has gotten better with time somehow - it’s now a front row seat to the valet drop off at Este. makes for incredible people watching; drama! fashion! intrigue!

went to add a button to play Albums / Playlists in shuffle mode - something I rarely do - to @bopsapp.bsky.social and am am shocked at how varied shuffle behavior is across popular providers. “Play later” and “Play next” ignore shuffle on Apple Music, Sonos randomizes tracks. wtf, shuffleheads

got woken up by a phone call from @pagerduty.bsky.social today at 4am, years after being on any sort of on call rotation. TTS bot said the service name but it was unintelligible. gonna assume a side effect of poor off-boarding at an old client; wish I could figure out who I should invoice!
