Where EveryPix stands

20 August 2026 - the app is built

All twelve operations are there, so is the share extension, and presets can be called from Shortcuts and Siri. The engine has 239 automated tests, the app 210, all green. Next comes the TestFlight release.

What taught the most was not found by any test, it was found by a real iPhone with a real photograph in it. Six faults in two days, none of them visible by reading the code:

• Eight operations out of twelve refused a twelve-megapixel photograph. The memory ceilings were the share extension's and applied inside the app too, which has far more room. The budget is now declared by the system, process by process.
• You could not see what you were about to do: no preview on blur, watermark and background removal. Along with it came the discovery that blur intensity was a radius in pixels, so the same preset gave very different results on images of different sizes.
• "Information" did nothing, the only one of the twelve: it read the file's details and showed them to nobody.
• "Share" opened an empty sheet: the addresses were being read back from the view as it was before the tap.
• Quality could not be read: the slider was there and the number was not, so the same choice could not be repeated twice.
• The share extension cannot open the app, and it promised to anyway. It cannot be done, so it no longer promises it.

In dark mode the icon kept a white background. The catalogue held one icon and iOS 18 wants three: without the other two the system always shows the light one, even on a dark Home Screen, where a white square stands out from across the room. Now there are three - light, dark, tinted - with the two new ones on a transparent background, because the system supplies the background.

What is missing

• The TestFlight release, then testing on a real iPhone: for an app that works on files those are the only ones that really count.
• The App Store listing.

When there is something to try it will appear on TestFlight, and the releases will appear here.
