The show is a fortnightly catch up between David Gary Wood, and Daniel Jilg! David is the longtime host of the show, an iOS development coach based in Wellington, New Zealand. His side project applications include GoVJ (https://govjapp.com), and he is currently working on several small projects and a top-secret video orientated one ("Magnum") Daniel is an establish independent developer based in the south of Germany. He is the founder of: Telemetry Deck (https://telemetrydeck.com), "Lightweight Analytics That's Not Evil", an analytics service for apps that provides speedy and accurate analytics whilst keeping user's data private and anonymised.

Dave is applying a modular approach, and breaking out common components in his apps into Swift Packages, a process he's describing as "Lego Apps". This is laying down some groundwork, for him to create a suite of related video orientated apps! Daniel is hard at work on the TelemetryDeck's web sdk ⚒️ and has started to advertise TelemetryDeck in places you may have seen, such as the Swift Package Index and Hacking With Swift.

Dave loses his extra sales for GoVJ 2.0, as a lower baseline starts to form post launch. Dave has diverted himself into exploring Vapor (Swift on the Server), for a test project...

Daniel has destroyed his keyboard and is exploring the world of clackety key caps with lots of options. Meanwhile, Dave is resting and recovering and is banned from the use of his Mac, so of course, he's fallen into Mastodon and the Fediverse. Ideas for apps are of course front of his mind.

We catch up on Daniel's ProductHunt debut of TelemetryDeck (https://telemetrydeck.com/?source=wfr). Dave inches closer to releasing GoVJ 2 as he uses some time off from his day-job to bug-fix, and clean things up. We discuss automated testing. Daniel quizzes Dave on how he approaches automated testing in his day-job vs his solo indie app endeavours. How much is too much for a solo developer? What's a good depth of testing for different sizes of project and team?

Dave has hit a mental block with "Project Magnum", with a lagging ARView, and may be focusing on his app GoVJ 2 in the meantime. Daniel has created a queuing system for his server-side Swift backend for TelemetryDeck, that enables him to give much better performance to his users. We hit on how slicing features into smaller chunks to ship can give our users more, instead of waiting for things to be "perfect" !

I’m joined by David Niemeijer, founder and CEO of AssistiveWare. AssistiveWare make Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) apps, that help many people communicate better in their lives. AssistiveWare have a long history of Apple applications and iOS, and so I thought I’d get him on the show to talk more about how they started and what they do. We talk product development, market fit, and the counter intuitive aspect of pricing that enables both sustainability of the product and the ability to reach users that benefit.

After some accidental headphone discussion, we catch up with how Dave Wood has been getting on with his SwiftUI journey.

This week, we think about PC vs Mac pricing, and how Apple remain relevant and appealing in the face of such incredible value from the PC market. We also discuss how the move to Apple Silicon will play out for Apple, and the industry at large. And finally, Dave Nott built an app... !

An eclectic episode this week as we discuss making an iCloud Drive based music player (and why it might not be a great idea!). This makes us wonder, when does a hobby become a business, and a business become a hobby? - it's a blurry line.

We also touch upon the issues certain apps have had with a certain SDK, and Dave Wood catches up with his SwiftUI app architecture.

The 13" MacBook Pro serves to confuse us, more so when we consider the recent MacBook Air refresh. Are these machines the last of their kind?

Dave Nott has taken an iOS dev hiatus these last few weeks, whilst completing a Raspberry Pi based Arcade Machine. He's had time to consider his motivations for making apps at all and wonders what will become of his next iOS app once it's complete.

Dave Wood gets an unexpected upgrade to a Series 5 Apples Watch, which sparks a new Apple Watch app idea. Dave Nott wins a battle with SwiftUI, but was it the right battle to have picked? We discuss bending SwiftUI to our will, vs the benefits of sticking with the defaults.

After another week of frustration, Dave Nott begins to doubt the merits of continuing development with SwiftUI. Would it be easier to down tools and move back to the safety of UIKit to get the job finished? We also discuss the newly announced Mac and iOS App Bundles and go on a rant about free trials and upgrade pricing.

Dave Wood is in week 3 of moving his app from paid to freemium, and is beginning to have some regret. He's discovered some confounding factors, and maybe the opportunity is not what he thought it was.

Both Daves have spent the last week working with SwiftUI. It's quickly becoming apparent that there are some things it simply can't do at this point. Is it the right technology to choose when starting a new app? Or will we regret jumping in on the new shiny? Meanwhile, all this cross-platform development is making Dave Nott consider a development iPad.

As we reach the end of 2019, we take a look back at our favourite Apple releases and products from this year. We get into how these have impacted us and our work, and cast a thought ahead at what might be coming up in 2020. * Waiting For Review (https://twitter.com/wfrpodcast) Dave Nott (https://twitter.com/_davenott) Dave Wood (https://twitter.com/davidgarywood) Music by Broke For Free (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Broke_For_Free/Something_EP/Broke_For_Free-Something_EP-_05_Something_Elated) License, CC Attribution 3 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/)

Dave Nott is struggling to find a groove with indie app development. We discuss ways he can get new ideas going, minimum viable products, and splitting projects up to get user feedback sooner rather than later.

Dave Nott has been off on a side quest these last few weeks. We discuss what he's been up to, and how easy it is to fall down a rabbit hole.

After months of waiting, and a further two weeks of agonising over specs, Dave Nott has finally ordered the 16" MacBook Pro.

In anticipation of this week's 16" MBP announcement we fall into a discussion of hardware and some end of year purchases.

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.

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.

While Dave Nott awaits announcements of new Macbook Pro hardware, he's getting deeper into his Raspberry Pi.

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.
