Hi,

This is a cool service: https://picsum.photos - it gives you example images 
(pictures/photos).

Here is how you can use this from a standard Pharo image (no pun intended).

ZnEasy getJpeg: 'https://picsum.photos/512'.

ImageReadWriter formFromStream: (ZnClient new
   systemPolicy;
   url: 'https://picsum.photos/640/480?grayscale';
   accept: ZnMimeType imagePng;
   get) readStream.

Picsum is listed here  along 
with a number of other public APIs. Maybe this overview list is 
interesting for one or the other.

The problem here really is Apple breaking things and not telling developers
what changes they make. We’ve been hit by that before. Microsoft has the
same problem
