Apple and Google Update Screenshot Size Requirements for App Store Listings

0
·6 views

Apple has reorganized its screenshot specification page, replacing older labels like 6.9-inch and 6.5-inch with device-class rows such as iPhone with Dynamic Island. The page lists which sizes are required, and it is unclear which slot App Store Connect will enforce for a given app. Google Play's phone screenshot rules set limits on format, pixel dimensions, and aspect ratio, with a minimum of two per device type. Both stores' upload pages in App Store Connect and Play Console are described as the final authority, since the specifications may change.

Staging task reached production after loading a stray production token from a config folder

A demo scenario describes an internal workflow that drafts weekly support ticket summaries and runs in staging against a copy of the data. The task read a config folder to find the staging database address, and that folder contained an old .env.backup file holding a production token from a months-old migration. Because the job loads every file in the folder, it used the working credential and a draft ended up in the wrong place or a lookup hit the live system. The author argues that instructions saying "staging" are not a real boundary, and that access controls must be what keeps environments separate. The piece recommends auditing readable folders for stray credentials, issuing staging-only credentials, keeping early versions read-only with human approval, and testing whether production-looking calls fail loudly.

React Native or Native Development: Team Structure and Hardware Needs Should Decide

The article argues that choosing between React Native and native Swift or Kotlin should depend on hardware coupling, team organization, and cost timelines rather than developer preference or outdated performance concerns. It notes that standard business, commerce, and enterprise apps generally suit React Native, which lets one team share most code across platforms. Native development remains necessary for demanding cases such as computer vision, low-latency audio, specialized Bluetooth, and continuous background sensing. The author contends that old criticisms of React Native's bridge are obsolete because the New Architecture, with Fabric and TurboModules, removes much of the serialization bottleneck. The piece also warns that teams without native expertise may struggle when platform-specific build issues arise.

Backfill script fix: normalized title matching to stop repeat 422 errors on dev.to

A daily unattended publishing pipeline had a flaw where its skip check compared titles exactly, so titles containing × were not recognized as already published after dev.to normalized them to x. This caused re-submissions to fail with a 422 'Title has already been used' error, and one previously published post was incorrectly listed as pending. The author built a normalize_title() function that converts both local and platform titles to the same form before comparing, and tested it on 12 sample titles. Tests showed 4 of 5 same-meaning cases matched correctly, with the only miss being Traditional versus Simplified Chinese, a known limitation. The fix will be integrated into the backfill script with a cooldown safeguard.
