It’s been years but I ran into a problem with a notification extension years ago. Worked fine on simulator, not on device. Turned out it was because I was using a HEIF image and (I think) the on-device extension was trying to use hardware decoding and didn’t have access to it. Meanwhile the simulator had no such sandboxing restrictions.

The difference doesn’t matter until it does, and then it’s infuriating to work out what’s going on.

I love this quote, reminds me how annoying it can be when something isn’t reproducible locally… only in production…
