Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.
Download on the App StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.

I have an unstable 10 Mbit connection that costs 1 Euro per GB 😉 (it might be 50 cents or so, can't remember)
But I still find it kinda outrageous that an IDE and compiler is 12 GIGABYTES. I mean, 12 MEGABYTES would be plenty!
(yes yes, I know it includes all the damn simulators and documentation and whatnot, but why isn't that optional and why are there no delta updates?)
But that's a fixed line connection right? I'm on an LTE connection because I always have to move house so a fixed contract doesn't make any sense...
I use https://makeappicon.com for that! Auto-generates all sizes (the whole "asset catalog") from one high-res image.
(yeah, for being a 12 GB download, they could've included that functionality in Xcode itself 😂)
Frankly, I wonder if this disarray is a side-effect of the programmers working at home and not being in the office together. Things can quickly spin out of control if people are not in constant contact with each other, even in this age of FaceTime and Zoom.
Could be I guess, it could at the very least be making moving forward with the changes more difficult for them. My general cynical feeling though is that some in the audio team really don't see the move to Swift or even Objective-C as the right way to go so the disarray in the template is reflective of this. (I don't actually disagree with this mindset either. My own personal feeling is that these interfaces should be defined in C and then made available in higher level languages.)
