00:11:44 ◼   ► hurry hurry they're using to make it work but that's sort of you know like a [TS]

00:11:49 ◼   ► utility that runs inside other apps is way easier on a Mac OS as you know [TS]

00:11:55 ◼   ► everything sandboxed it away used to work and it's always required on iOS [TS]

00:12:00 ◼   ► four the apps that that it works within the opt-in and include a text expander [TS]

00:12:07 ◼   ► STK so for example the system apps like mail and Safari don't support it because [TS]

00:12:13 ◼   ► Apple doesn't opt into this to the tank but a lot of third time how Dropbox [TS]

00:12:18 ◼   ► works right yeah exactly and that and how on you know Mac OS 10 you know [TS]

00:12:24 ◼   ► dropbox is just there and it's a folder in it the system of on every you know [TS]

00:12:28 ◼   ► absent absent have to opt-in but on iOS they do they have to include a Dropbox [TS]

00:12:32 ◼   ► SDK but how did that the shared snippet dating get between let's say you have [TS]

00:12:39 ◼   ► four different apps on your iPhone that support text expander how did they get [TS]

00:12:43 ◼   ► the same snippet data they used to use something called che named clipboards [TS]

00:12:49 ◼   ► passports I was get those two mixed up [TS]

00:12:54 ◼   ► but it's sort of a long standing next step [TS]

00:12:58 ◼   ► sort of thing where there is different paste boards and you could see this on [TS]

00:13:03 ◼   ► the Mac lot of people don't know this but like when you copy and paste you [TS]

00:13:06 ◼   ► think there's only one page report but like on Mac if you go to like text [TS]

00:13:10 ◼   ► editor anything was styled text you can do things like copy the ruler if you set [TS]

00:13:16 ◼   ► up a paragraph with a certain indentation copy the ruler go to another [TS]

00:13:42 ◼   ► their style clipboard and then there's a ruler clipboard and then apps can make [TS]

00:13:47 ◼   ► arbitrarily named baseboards or at least they used to be able to on iOS and that [TS]

00:13:53 ◼   ► was how and I you know I think in a nutshell how to text expander share data [TS]

00:13:58 ◼   ► between the apps adopted in there was named clipboard that the SDK would know [TS]

00:14:04 ◼   ► to look for an ad for all this snippet it was and then when you created a new [TS]

00:14:07 ◼   ► snippet you just do it in the text expander app and it would automatically [TS]

00:14:12 ◼   ► be available to all the apps that are in the text expanders system with me so far [TS]

00:14:17 ◼   ► I am Apple got rid of named clipboards in Iowa 7 as a security thing or a [TS]

00:14:28 ◼   ► privacy thing I don't know which may be both a little bit of both but apps were [TS]

00:14:32 ◼   ► abusing it now this text expander was not I think text expander maybe would [TS]

00:14:36 ◼   ► qualify as an app that was doing what it what they were meant to be done for [TS]

00:14:40 ◼   ► but a lot of third-party apps were using it for shady purposes [TS]

00:14:45 ◼   ► you know like ad networks were using it to track stuff across apps so that the [TS]

00:14:50 ◼   ► same ad network if couple of games were using the same ads they could somehow [TS]

00:14:56 ◼   ► share that data which is a you know in other words they reuse it was an escape [TS]

00:15:01 ◼   ► route for this data sandboxing us and so Apple governor them so text expander had [TS]

00:15:06 ◼   ► to do something else and what they chose to do is use reminders which is a [TS]

00:15:13 ◼   ► systemwide [TS]

00:15:14 ◼   ► the reminders out but other app stores in API other apps can can access it and [TS]

00:15:23 ◼   ► so they use the reminders apt to store this data and I think they were doing [TS]

00:15:28 ◼   ► something so it so they wouldn't you know it when you open the reminders out [TS]

00:15:32 ◼   ► you wouldn't just be faced with all the wind see all this year a minor I don't [TS]

00:15:38 ◼   ► think it really matter I don't know if they were using dates on the stuff to [TS]

00:15:41 ◼   ► make it like so they were all expired or something but you know you could find [TS]

00:15:45 ◼   ► out I think in the reminder that but it was effectively but anyway Apple is [TS]

00:15:49 ◼   ► notified then and that was approved it was in the App Store and you know absurd [TS]

00:15:54 ◼   ► third party apps had to update to the latest version of the text expander SDK [TS]

00:15:59 ◼   ► to support it but anyway yesterday they announced that Apple said look that's [TS]

00:16:04 ◼   ► you can use or do you can use reminders like that anymore reminders are for [TS]

00:16:08 ◼   ► reminders not for arbitrary data and now they don't know what to do because [TS]

00:16:15 ◼   ► there's really nothing left and I saw a lot of criticism on Twitter like the [TS]

00:16:20 ◼   ► most of the reaction to it seemed to be that Apple is screwing my lover which I [TS]

00:16:25 ◼   ► don't really think I don't think that's quite right I love smile I mean I say [TS]

00:16:29 ◼   ► this not just because their sponsor but I mean I know some of the people work [TS]

00:16:33 ◼   ► there and a longtime fan of software this stinks for them but I i dont couple [TS]

00:16:38 ◼   ► screwing yeah I wouldn't call that either and it's just it maybe it's maybe [TS]

00:16:44 ◼   ► with the criticism should be as there should be some other service yeah there [TS]

00:16:48 ◼   ► should be some way and this goes back to the origins [TS]

00:16:52 ◼   ► of the App Store I mean this is all the way back to like 2008 when the apps [TS]

00:16:56 ◼   ► first came out that there is no I mean sandboxing is all well and good but [TS]

00:17:00 ◼   ► shouldn't there be somewhere where apps can tap a can put something and then at [TS]

00:17:07 ◼   ► be can see it you know I think that the best argument for [TS]

00:17:16 ◼   ► smile using the reminders this way is that reminders as one of those things [TS]

00:17:21 ◼   ► like I think I'm like 99% sure I think I remember doing it are proving it it's [TS]

00:17:29 ◼   ► like location or the camera the camera roll where you the system before it'll [TS]

00:17:34 ◼   ► let the app right to it will prompt and saved you want to allow this app to [TS]

00:17:40 ◼   ► access reminders you know that's an ad is part of the security in iOS is you [TS]

00:17:47 ◼   ► know like a nap can't just turn on location without letting you know you [TS]

00:17:51 ◼   ► know there's no way that the app it's not just like they're supposed to do it [TS]

00:17:54 ◼   ► it's they actually happen we'll never get that location data until you the [TS]

00:17:59 ◼   ► user to tap the button in the systems provided alert that says yes allow this [TS]

00:18:05 ◼   ► to happen and then you can you can turn it off in the settings at any time and I [TS]

00:18:10 ◼   ► think it's the same with reminders where that apps have to opt into it and so i [TS]

00:18:14 ◼   ► think that the argument that they should be allowed to do it as well as the user [TS]

00:18:17 ◼   ► says they're allowed to do it you know it to users saying let me use the [TS]

00:18:22 ◼   ► reminders to store this you know non reminder data just so that it can be [TS]

00:18:26 ◼   ► shared between UPS could see it that way but I can definitely Apple's perspective [TS]

00:18:34 ◼   ► yeah it does suck though and it makes it such a useful feature that there should [TS]

00:18:41 ◼   ► be some other way to do it but at the same time I the only things I can think [TS]

00:18:44 ◼   ► of is what is the only thing that makes the most sense but they had before and [TS]

00:18:51 ◼   ► obviously that wasn't working either [TS]

00:19:30 ◼   ► it in an update we did over the summer for I was seven we took it out because [TS]

00:19:33 ◼   ► we thought I I we all thought that even though this seems like it's been [TS]

00:19:41 ◼   ► approved by Apple I don't we didn't I didn't think that they was gonna last [TS]

00:19:47 ◼   ► it just seemed like they were started like smile had been reduced to playing [TS]

00:19:55 ◼   ► passing judgment but it just seemed to me that we you know I why almost [TS]

00:20:01 ◼   ► regretted that we put it in the first place even though is a useful feature I [TS]

00:20:05 ◼   ► regret it because I hate putting up a useful feature in and taking it out and [TS]

00:20:23 ◼   ► the description I gave before and said you know we gonna wait and see if Apple [TS]

00:20:27 ◼   ► is going to support this and maybe in the long term we well but it just seemed [TS]
