Night Lights a Toddler Toy Update

Always fun opening an old code base!

Years ago a friend and I published an iOS app that we designed for our (at the time) toddlers to play. It’s a really simple colors, shapes, and sounds app that is purposefully designed to not be annoying for parents. That’s an underserved niche on the app store!

It’d been a while since we did an update and Apple had pulled the app down. I finally got a spare day to open up the project and get it updated. For the most part the update involved getting it to work with the modern version of Unity and then ripping out and redoing our audio engine. The plugin we relied on was no longer usable. I reworked it to use Unity’s audio engine instead. Then fought with app store connect off and on for a day and now we’re back in business:
