What terrible news – whatever shall we do?

Please look past the fact that CrowdStrike is today’s, or yesterday’s, cultural whipping boy. They make software, and its users would like it to work. It’s not a good thing.

And it's their responsibility to make sure it works by testing on pre-release OS builds and implementing fixes when necessary.

And when they report bugs to the vendor, and Apple just black holes those bugs, as they do in probably 99.8%+ of bug reports?

"Suck it up"?

find a workaround because you already know what is coming down the pipe? this isn't new to development, I've done it in my own apps for apple issues before. maybe they just need some more experienced developers?

I mean yes, ultimately if you want your app to be used, you'll have to do that, but wouldn't it be better if Apple stopped carelessly breaking backward compat with every update?
