YouTube is a valuable resource for getting hints and tips for just about anything, and I have been highlighting them ever since content makers have been making content for this area.
The other day, I found this tip by a user named Peter Akkies. He highlights some extremely useful tips on how to use Apple Notes for iOS and Mac.
Below is the video:

I have been an Apple developer since the iPhone came out in 2007. I've used Xcode in its many forms, have had my ups and downs with the development tool for years, but always find my way back to it after trying some other development platforms.
Over the past year, I have been noticing that some of my Xcode projects have been inflating in size. From a 12mb to a 50mb project after I added some minor features and enhancements. After some investigating (and bitching on the Apple Developer's forums) it wasn't until a fellow developer suggested that maybe it was iCloud helping to cause the problem. After looking into that - I found out that IT WAS.
So, what was the problem?
With iCloud enabled, it makes a backup of your folders often, always verifying which one is new and which is old - which is the way its supposed to work. But I found out that isn't always the case when it comes to Xcode, and may eventually lead to duplicate files.
Example:
You may have A Xcode project named MyClients containing files within that project. Each time you change that file, Xcode writes those changes to the file and then iCloud sees a change and copies it to its folder in the cloud. The problem may lie with those changes getting saved to the file and iCloud making a copy of it to send it to its server, leading to that file making a duplicate of itself.
Example: info.plist, info1.plist, info2.plist, etc.
How did I come up with this conclusion?
When I told iCloud not to backup the folder where the project was in, the problem did NOT happen. I now rely on Time Machine and Google Drive for my project backups.

“Dancing With the Stars” is moving to Disney Plus after airing for 30 seasons airing on ABC, Variety has confirmed.
The show has received a two-season renewal at the Disney-owned streaming service for Seasons 31 and 32, with the new season to debut in the fall. “DWTS” will be the first live series to stream on Disney Plus.
Variety has confirmed the series will not air repeats on ABC and strictly be available via Disney Plus. News of the move was first reported by Deadline.
“’Dancing with the Stars’ has entertained fans for 16 years on ABC, and we are excited to bring this beloved show exclusively to Disney+ as the platform’s first-ever live series,” said Kareem Daniel, chairman, Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution. “The show’s broad appeal, as well as the overwhelming popularity of its Disney-themed competition nights, make Disney+ the perfect home for ‘Dancing with the Stars’ while continuing to expand our demographic reach.”
The move is a serious blow to both ABC and broadcast networks in general, which have staked their relevance in recent years on their ability to deliver live audiences as broadcast ratings for scripted programming continues to dwindle. More and more, media giants like Disney are shifting resources over to their budding streaming businesses, leaving broadcasters with fewer and fewer shows to fill their airtime. Should “DWTS” prove to be successful on Disney Plus, it opens the door for even more shows to be shifted over to streaming.
“’Dancing with the Stars’ has been a beloved staple on ABC for 30 seasons and brought so much joy to millions of viewers,” said Dana Walden, Chairman of Entertainment, Walt Disney Television. “As we’re significantly expanding our unscripted slate at ABC, this is a great opportunity to introduce this show to a whole new generation of fans on Disney+. We’re so grateful to our incredible partners at BBC Studios and look forward to continuing our relationship with them on this spectacular series, which will continue to be overseen by Rob Mills and the talented Walt Disney Television Alternative team.”
“DWTS” is produced by BBC Studios. The show began airing on ABC in 2005.
“The fact that our iconic global format ‘Dancing with the Stars’ will now set the record as the first live series on Disney+ represents a major growth opportunity and a bold next step forward in the evolution of the franchise,” said Valerie Bruce, general manager of BBC Studios, Los Angeles Productions. “This unprecedented move, combined with our two-season pick-up, is a testament to the proven power of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and a resounding vote of confidence from our great, supportive partners at Disney, showing how much they value and believe in the brand.”
