WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Inviting the first beta users to RocketTrace
Last week, RocketTrace finally got approved. It turned out that my TestFlight build had a unique combination of entitlements that blocked it from going through. It uses an XPC-standalone companion app and other living-on-the-edge features to let you run Xcode Instruments directly on a physical device.
Getting unblocked on TestFlight also means I can finally onboard the first beta users. I’m doing this in waves, so I can pay full attention to any new users and fix issues along the way. Last week’s beta approval allowed me to invite several friends, who already provided great feedback.
Rolling out new apps is exciting, and you want to make sure they work ‘in the wild’ before rolling them out to your biggest audience. You might only get one chance to convince a user, so it better be good. Hence why I’m rolling it out in waves.
f you haven’t yet, make sure to sign up for the beta waitlist. And if you’re curious, here’s what recording in RocketTrace on a physical device looks like:
