We also added a new Experimental section in Settings with an option to randomize bundle IDs for newly installed apps 🧪

This feature may help with the “provisioning profile is banned” error, so we recommend trying it out!

We're too excited for the iPhone Duo, so we made our own using the Vision Pro! It's fully functional with a fold slider, orientation flips, and more! It streams whatever's on the Device Hub, so it's perfect for Delta's Duo designs. Happy early birthday, @shanegillio.bsky.social?
