The @getskyscraper.com TestFlight beta testers are one of the best groups in the business. I can’t express my thankfulness enough to how well everyone offers great feedback. And they update literally minutes after every build post. So thankful for the people who help me in testing the app!

My wife’s in-laws (my sister in laws husbands parents? Idk what that is called) are visiting from Spain. And we made them try Dippin Dots. They were not as excited as I would have hoped.

I think you’re right, and seems bad! I sent an email earlier tonight, but not overly positive reading that. One question also for you, does Micro.blog have an API for followed blogs/posts? Would like to add it to the project if possible.

@manton.org I am working on an RSS side project, and someone I know thought you wrote a post about integrating with Feedly. It seems I need an enterprise account to get a client ID? Did you write a post/do you have any tips to share?

Today would have been my Mom’s birthday. It’s been a tough 2+ months since she’s been gone. But very appreciative of the support from friends and family over the past weeks. I know a lot of great people, and I’m very thankful for them.

Does anyone have any connections at Apple? Both @getskyscraper.com and @heron.social are getting App Store rejections for being copycats. The way this is being applied essentially bans 3rd party clients, which I doubt is intentional.

So macOS build was rejected and I resubmitted yesterday, and it’s still in review. iOS was submitted at same time, but went in review like an hour ago, and was rejected pretty quickly for same reason as macOS was rejected yesterday.

@jimray.bsky.team would there be someone at Bluesky we could talk to about getting approval for using “for Bluesky” in our app names?

Can I hack it to tell my wife not to buy the expensive butter from the artisanal snack shop near our apartment? How easy is the hacking? Because our butter budget is getting out of line and I need to make sure she doesn't buy the French butter.

Have you used it on the back of an iPhone? Does it suck? I wanted to try this, but the photos all look like it would be uncomfortable.

Seems there’s a few Bluesky apps getting hit by Apple not liking the app name being “______ for Bluesky”. 😕

Try going to purchase, and hit the Restore button on the bottom of the page. If that doesn’t work, shoot me a DM and I’ll get it figured out as best I can or get you a new code.

@getskyscraper.com man, the amount of stuff you list in the release notes for a x.x.1 update is crazy… 😧

It started as a minor update. :-) But then, I found some stuff to fix.

I honestly think this (hopefully) is just someone making a mistake. I do think they’re flooded with updates which is causing issues, and maybe adding team members that are unsure on how to apply rules.
010
Cameron Banga @cameronbanga.com · 29/09/2026
Well, I just got rejected for it this morning. Replied and submitted again, so will see how it goes. But my app name has been “Skyscraper for Bluesky” since January across maybe 15+ releases and this is the first time I’ve gotten this particular rejection.
100
Cameron Banga @cameronbanga.com · 29/09/2026
Yup, my rejection was for being a “copycat”.
100
Cameron Banga @cameronbanga.com · 29/09/2026
Yeah, I will let you know how it goes. Hoping just a reviewer not wanting to do their job. I had a Vision Pro rejection last weekend because they typed in the demo account password wrong….
020
Cameron Banga @cameronbanga.com · 29/09/2026
I’ve replied asking for clarification (and what changed since they approved last update on Friday). They asked for verification that we are allowed to use the term Bluesky in our app. Maybe something @jimray.bsky.team could help with? Hoping this doesn’t become a major headache.
111
Cameron Banga @cameronbanga.com · 29/09/2026
Had an update today for @getskyscraper.com rejected because I use Bluesky in the app name (Skyscraper for Bluesky). Sigh, thanks app review.

This was all on Google and their push services in Firebase lol

Apologies again to anyone having crash issues tonight due to the Firebase issue. If you're a Skyscraper user and you're getting crashes/issues tonight, please send me a DM. I will send over a free year of Skyscraper Pro as an apology! Unfortunately, like most apps, I have too many dependencies.

Friends and @getskyscraper.com users, if you are getting crashes right now, I apologize. Firebase, which I use to power my push server, seems to be having some sort of incident tonight: github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sd… Anyone had any issues? If so, sorry!

@rstevens.bsky.social I think you used my old original Skyscraper app on Mac which was just the iPad version in compatibility mode. I released a native Mac version a few weeks back and just had a nice update last night to fix a lot of keyboard oddities. Would be curious if you like it!
