⚠️ Compiler Error

This week's theme: Apple Radar!

  1. The internal Apple Radar app for iOS comes with a sticker pack, allowing Apple engineers to communicate bug statuses in style.
  2. The mascot for Apple Radar is a purple ant eater named Fixie, so inspired because the engineer’s daughter was doing a report on them at the time.
  3. Although the full app was never available to the public, a separate tool called Bug Reporter could be used to file radars, though it was made unavailable in 2019.
  4. It wasn’t until after the iPhone was released that Tim Burks decided to create Open Radar in 2008 to make sharing and duplicating Radars easier for developers.
