@orangejinjo @jcscaliger Hmm, thanks. I guess there’s another bug because I never got the normal update notification or Settings badge.

@jcscaliger I don’t know. I’m not running iOS betas and don’t know how to trigger the bug.

@Freerunnering Yes, you can do it with xattr (as mentioned on that page). Just add the -r switch to make it recursive.

@rosyna I guess I don’t see how universal links prevent the problem. Wouldn’t you still be vulnerable to trampolines?
