Hello Andrew, I’m also still on Sierra and having no trouble at all with iTunes. Have you done the usual things to fix minor problems such as First Aid in Disk Utility and reinitialising the PRAM? Then you could throw out your iTunes Preferences and see what happens. Cheers, Anne > On 15

Re: Using Swift to Dev Apps

There’s just one problem. Visual Studio Code, or VS Code, sucks on macOS as far as accessibility goes. It is a Java app and Java apps, for the most part, are a nightmare with VoiceOver. For starters, the editor doesn’t read, so good luck reviewing code. :( > On Apr 15, 2018, at 10:54 AM, Jonath
