Crazy season and when apps go bad

About this episode

Peter Witham discusses the challenges faced during the end-of-year engineering crunch, focusing on app syncing issues and paywall restoration.

I dive into the end-of-year engineering crunch and share my week wrestling with Sub Radar's CloudKit syncing issues and RevenueCat paywall restoration problems. After debugging schema mismatches and anonymous account complications, I think I've finally nailed both fixes. The update's heading to Apple for review—fingers crossed this is the last battle before the holidays! Try Sub Radar for free on Apple platforms ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
