Issue Box Dev Diary #3

Major achievement to end the week, there are issues in the issues app! Well the basic details of them anyway. There’s still a lot to sync up yet.

MacRumors have an article on how to setup Live Listen with AirPods. Live Listen has been in iOS since 2014 and allows your iOS device to be used as microphone for compatible hearing aids but with iOS 12 the feature works with AirPods as well.
