Marin Todorov announces public beta of iOS Simulator second screen app called dataTile.
This app provides small additional screen which shows any log events from the app which developer considers relevant. App uses logs produced by Apple logging system, so if your app already uses those, no changes are needed in the app to support dataTile.
App is a good example of macOS SwiftUI app. It requires macOS Ventura though.

Apple continues to test security updates introduced in recent iOS 16.2 beta. Since it's still beta, it's not clear if this Rapid Security Response contained any actual security content. Most likely Apple tests the delivery and notification system itself.

Apple not just tests the software now, but also tested critical security fix delivery. New iOS releases will have separate update options that include 'Rapid Security Response and System Files'.
Updates are working similar to regular updates, but probably will be smaller in size and quicker to install.
