"It is incredibly upsetting for everyone at Cala that this tragedy happened on our site." It took more than four years for the HSE investigation into James's death to get to court, and his father says the family had to push for updates "otherwise it just goes into a bit of a black hole". Just two days before James's death, the family had celebrated his sister Katie's 21st birthday. On Monday, 18 November 2019 he was sent to a construction site in Brampton, Cambridgeshire, run by one of the UK's largest housebuilders, Cala Homes. James, from Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, started as a probationary site engineer, sampling natural substances on sites where contamination was feared. "He wanted to learn the basics from a good company and that was what he thought he was doing at the time, and we were excited for him because it was what he wanted to do."

When using third-party SDKs, it can be hard for developers to know the code that they downloaded was written by the developer that they expect. To address that, we’re introducing signatures for SDKs so that when a developer adopts a new version of a third-party SDK in their app, Xcode will validate that it was signed by the same developer. The App Store Review Guidelines, the Apple Developer Program License Agreement, and the Apple Developer Agreement have been updated to support updated policies and upcoming features, and to provide clarification.
