SensorKit - more flexibility
It would be good if SensorKit was more available for non research related apps. For example I want to create an app that tracks light sensor values to create a mapping of bikelanes with poor lighting. This doesn’t fall under a research app, but seems like a reasonable use of this data. creating a way to opt the user into this (via clear warnings that the data Is being collected, and maybe a 24 or 1 hour time limit) might be a way to make this sensor data available. also clear warnings on the app store privacy page, or maybe even rules about running in the background or at app startup and an icon in the toolbar (similar to the mic) could make this more safe for users.

Big Sur installation stuck
Install has been stuck for four hours on the Apple screen, with status bar at 100%... I tried rebooting and status bar quickly went to 100% and again stuck... tried to turn on verbose mode (all the ctrl keys and w, Apple key and v or l) and got nothing...

Screenshot Uploading Fails
I am wondering if there is an issue with screenshot uploading, I am logged in with passkey, and using latest beta of OSX. Process completes, the images appear with blur, then immediately disappear...but a refresh shows them with "this file has not yet been uploaded" and a cloud icon. Have tried multiple times.
