Thanks David, please pardon that, I sent the message while engaged elsewhere, and had not thought it necessary to introduce myself since I was last active here in 2020. I also took it for granted that everyone could see my name since Gmail does that on my end. My name is Mr. Maxwell Murunga. I do native iOS development, native Android development, and fullstack Web development. On the SWORD side of things, I am mostly interested in iOS, and can contribute to any iOS related issues. Blessings, Maxwell.
