In answering a question, I'm trying to link to another thread on this forum, that answers the same question. Composing my answer, I'm getting the message: "Please fix the following URL related errors:" "This domain is not a permitted domain on this forums." https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/698055  (It seems that I can post the URL as a code block, as above, but not as a link.) So Apple Developer Forum posts can't be linked, on the Apple Developer Forum?

...and it may also need a ton of free space. ...and then there's still the "Install Additional Components". No problem. Just give it plenty of time (overnight, if necessary). Don't start the install if you are in a rush, or you need it in the next half-hour. Just a friendly heads-up, given the number of people who are regularly caught out by this.

The spamming of this forum, and the time taken to remove the offending posts, has become ridiculous. Surely some basic level of filtering is already in place? Please also disallow: Any title containing a long (phone) number Any title containing the words "Call" AND "Girls" Rapidly repeated posts by the same user, with very similar titles ...and once the spammers have worked around that, block whatever they come up with next. Is it so hard?

Looking at the "Info" tab for a new macOS app, Apple cheered up my day with this: Maybe someone at Apple is having an upside-down kind of day. Is anyone else seeing this? macOS 11.6 Big Sur Xcode 13.0 (13A233) FB9684421

I have long suspected that The Mighty Quinn may be somewhat more than human... ...but a recent post has led me to question everything I know. @eskimo said: I thought I’d write it down so that Future Quinn™ could point folks at it This seems to be a recurring pattern. Is Quinn “The Eskimo!” actually a franchise, like Dread Pirate Roberts?

The new iPad mini looks like a great device, and has a "larger" screen than the previous version (8.3", vs 7.9"). But looking at the actual resolution, we have: • iPad mini 5: 2048 x 1536 • iPad mini 6: 2266 x 1488 That is, the "width" (or "height", in portrait mode) is smaller! Since the iPad was introduced, I've been aiming iPad apps at a minimum dimension of 1536 (actually 768, pre-Retina). Now, that content may not fit! It's not a massive difference, but it could be significant. Do I really have to go back to my apps, and add scrolling, or trim the content? I didn't notice any mention of this during the presentation (which seemed consumer-oriented, rather than developer-oriented). Does anyone else think this could turn out to be a serious issue?

After the macOS 10.15.7 update, Xcode showed "Install Additional Components", so I did that. Now I find that Xcode can't install to iOS 14.2 It says: "{phone} is not available. Please reconnect the device." Tried: Disconnect/reconnect Restart (all devices) Different phone (also iOS 14.2) "Empty the Derived Data" folder I know there is a downloadable Xcode 12.2RC, but I prefer to stick to the App Store version on my main Mac. Apple say: “The term “Release Candidate” (RC) replaces “GM seed” and indicates this version is near final.” "Near" final?! Is there a timing SNAFU here? Surely the release versions should all line up, and work together! Should Xcode 12.2 be available on the App Store, to go with iOS 14.2?
