Version Updates
If you rely on Xcode on a Mac to build Loop or other DIY apps, make sure you update Xcode to 14.3 before updating your phone to iOS 16.4. This will require updating your macOS to 13, so if your Mac is unable to update to macOS 13, please setup the browser build method on GitHub which works for iOS 16.4 as well.
