And now we wait
And now we wait
Hopefully if all goes well in review, and review times are not extremely long right now, then I will be releasing Arctic on the AppStore within the next week or so.
Thank you to all the great testers for all your support and feedback!
TestFlight builds are not going anywhere, I will be continuing to push new builds as often as possible, though releases may change a bit. Going forward we will have RC (release candidate) builds which will be targeted at bug and stability testing to ensure updates are not introducing new issues into the AppStore releases. I’ll have more information on this when I release the next TestFlight build.
Awesome news!
Exciting!
I enjoy providing feedback using TestFlight while something is still in development, but I suppose I need to switch to the App Store version to access the tip jar.
Is there no way to enable a real tip jar for TestFlight?
Could you possibly create an additional subscription via the App Store, allowing me to reinstall TestFlight without canceling the App Store subscription?
I’m very excited with how far Arctic has come!
Unfortunately, there is no way to enable real in app purchases in TestFlight builds, and unfortunately the only way I could enable side-by-side installs of the TestFlight and AppStore releases is if I started a new TestFlight with a different identifier which I don’t exactly want to do.
I considered adding subscriptions to the Tip Jar, but I’ll need to review the AppStore guidelines and see if that is allowed. I would have done this yesterday while testing iAPs, but I was already tight on time and didn’t want to postpone the release to add subscriptions. I have a busy week, so yesterday was the last day to submit before waiting another week.
I’ll look into the guidelines and see if I can add subscriptions to the next AppStore release.
Just checked the App Store for the heck of it. It’s available! That might have been a record fast review.
Edit: I’m flattered to have made an appearance in the promo images!
Yep, it’s live now. Once it went under review, it only took 30 minutes for approval. It was supposed to take about 24hrs to go live on the AppStore, so I went ahead and published it. Surprisingly, it went live immediately, so it’s been out for a couple of hours now.
I’ll make a post about it later today!

Congrats. It’s definitely up in the top choices for me.
I didn’t want to create a whole post for this so I’m commenting here, I just wanted to say the new icon is awesome.
Thank you so much, I’m really happy with it. The old icon was never meant to stick around for so long.
