The Archive Updates Were Paused For a Short While and now continue
Hey folks,
I currently cannot work on The Archive and ensure the same high quality of the software because of a bug in my development environment that broke the automated quality assurance department, so to speak.
In short, there's this automatic testing suite that runs the app on my behalf and tests the behavior, file changes, and other expected outcomes. It ensures feature additions and bug fixes don't break expected behavior. Now this suite ceased to work altogether with a recent update to Apple's development tooling. I am waiting for dev support to respond to my inquiry now. I don't know if this is fixable or will remain broken for months to come. In the meantime, I could build replacement tools to perform the tests, but the time this would take to get right does now overlap with the time I wait for a reply by Apple. It'd be 100% wasted time if the bug is fixable.
So I leave the code in a known good state and work on my other apps for a short while until I know more and can make a better decision.
Just so you know why there appears to be no progress.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm keeping my fingers (and toes!) crossed that the issue will get solved as soon as possible.
The thread title actually gave me a brief heart attack, because it made it seem like work on The Archive could potentially be on hold indefinitely.
If you like The Archive's "PrettyFunctional (Basic)" theme, consider upgrading to the "PrettyFunctional (Regular)" theme.
Same!
Ok ok, I see how that word was a poor choice
Changed the title.

Problem is resolved already: https://christiantietze.de/posts/2019/10/xcode-bug-hardened-runtime/
It turned out to be an easy fix once we knew which setting to tweak. So work will continue in a while after I finish the pending changes to my other app, the WordCounter for Mac.

"Happy News" indeed.
Hijacking this thread to say WordCounter is awesome, the statistics update is really nice. Thanks for that one, again!
Edit: because Christian does not self promote enough, here is the link to WordCounter
