@mortengregersen I have trouble in one of my iOS apps where the accent colour from assets is ignored and the default blue is used. Seems entirely random!

[Chris Mash @CJMash]

@flarup Ohhhh is THAT why I had a massive spike across all my apps years ago… I thought the stats just got borked!

[Chris Mash @CJMash]

@tundsdev Wait… that’s illegal… 😅

[Chris Mash @CJMash]

@jnStehlik @AndyIbanezK .count has to count the whole array, .isEmpty only has to check if there’s at least one item and then can stop
