I see that Arc identified the location incorrectly. I tried to manually and explicitly correct it but it repeatedly fails to update and eventually hangs and closes itself. See video: https://youtu.be/yKPM_xjnq5A
Ah, the incredibly problematic Extract Brief Visits view! That view was actually the final trigger that pushed me to start the Arc Editor project.
That view was built with the newer SwiftUI technology, while much of the rest of the app is built using the much older UIKit framework. The two are meant to work together happily, but in practice they don’t always get along. That view is one of those cases. Weird things happen, and sometimes it even crashes, in ways that have repeatedly evaded fixes.
It basically got to the point where I was spending too much time trying to resolve bugs where SwiftUI and UIKit were trying to work together, so it was time to draw the line and say “this all has to be rebuilt from the ground up”. I was wasting too much time on these kinds of weird, mysterious behaviours and crashes, instead of working on building new features.
Hence the arrival of Arc Editor. Which never crashes on that view, and behaves how you expect every time!
Thanks, Matt. How can I get Arc Editor? I tried to sign up for Beta, but unfortunately, it’s full. I hope you can let us know when it becomes available to the public.
Ah, full already? Ok, the next beta build should be ready some time next week. With each beta release I increase the testers limit, so next week some time it’ll be possible to install it and try!
