They’re different bundle IDs so probably not. I thought I remembered inviting you to the beta group at one point?
You see the app icon in the tvOS TestFlight app right, just no builds? I think auto update is probably installing a build for ya then my automation is expiring it at some point after.
Good suggestion, thank you!! I think my build automation may be expiring tvOS builds too eagerly. Either way build info would be helpful 👍
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
Anyway I'm super happy with this thing: I'm so proud to be able to share my daily-driver music app with all of you! Bops is just $0.99 through Friday to celebrate the new release. apps.apple.com/us/app/bops-...
The shortcut for applying scenes is almost *too* quick. Blink and you miss it.
The app intents in the latest Bops release have totally changed how I interact with my Sonos system; I barely use an app at all to adjust volume / group membership! Just two shortcuts in my Action Button folder.

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.
Today's beta release has a pretty rad new feature; an interactive snippet for quick adjustments to the current Sonos group. Launch with Siri ('Bops volume') or via Shortcuts. Coming to the App Store for Bops Gold subscribers 🔜

kinda amusing that the easiest way to film such a video for App Store Review is ... my meta glasses 😎
it was! though the drinks have changed the front patio there has gotten better with time somehow - it’s now a front row seat to the valet drop off at Este. makes for incredible people watching; drama! fashion! intrigue!
Quite a few places on Manor Road in Cherrywood have great front patios - El Chile / Teddy’s / Bar Toti / Schoolhouse / El Chilito / Haymaker / Civil Goat / Love Supreme / The Long Goodbye
obtained a ton of cursed knowledge about debugging AttributeGraph cycles along the way 😬
nearly shipped a subtly broken tabViewBottomAccessory to the App Store, now going back to the drawing board 😅 lotsa notes in github.com/urcomputerin...
welp, had to resubmit to fix some placeholder subscription plan promo images so that’s not a problem anymore! 😅
Submitted Bops for review Saturday evening 😗
Sure would be nice if UI refinements were allowed while waiting for review to start 😬
👀 Getting closer to a public release over here. This beta is packed; support for volume control and queueing/playing music with Siri, Control Center buttons with volume / quick device playback, a Widget, Genius lyrics links, an easy way to ⭐️ songs from the Lock Screen + more
leaning into UIDesignRequiresCompatibility and focusing on features this summer. it's Friday; time to shuffle the favorites playlist and take a walk
if you like fish and chips and all that pimp shit everybody lemme hear you say oh yea-er
went to add a button to play Albums / Playlists in shuffle mode - something I rarely do - to @bopsapp.bsky.social and am am shocked at how varied shuffle behavior is across popular providers. “Play later” and “Play next” ignore shuffle on Apple Music, Sonos randomizes tracks. wtf, shuffleheads
will take this as an opportunity to remind them again of my “press 5 to unionize your on-call rotation” feature request
mfErs didn’t even have an escalation policy setup, for a second I thought I was gonna get to wake up some founder as payback
got woken up by a phone call from @pagerduty.bsky.social today at 4am, years after being on any sort of on call rotation. TTS bot said the service name but it was unintelligible. gonna assume a side effect of poor off-boarding at an old client; wish I could figure out who I should invoice!
cleaned up that view a bit and wrote a proper blog post about it changelog.bopsapp.com/v2025.5.1-be...
