Have you seen our Instagram series, `24 for '24`, that kicked off on 15 December 2023?

We are sharing 24 Resolutions to help you end 2023 and begin 2024 in good `loopy` style! Look for daily posts on [*Instagram*](https://www.instagram.com/loopandlearn/) and [*Facebook*](https://www.facebook.com/groups/LOOPandLEARN) to join us in finding new ways to learn about and enjoy all things `Loop`!
This is the first session of this year. The schedule is the second Thursday of each month.

## Using the *xDrip4iOS* App with Version 3.2.3 of the *Loop* App
#### Time Zone Converter

Did you recently upgrade to Version 3.2.3 of the *Loop* App?
Did you lose access to the *xDrip4iOS* option for `CGM`?
Need help figuring out when an event happens in your time zone? Try the [SavvyTime: UTC Converter](https://savvytime.com/converter/utc).

Follow these directions to restore that capability:
## Tips for Building or Rebuilding with a Browser

* [Browser Build: Adding `CGM` Clients to 3.2.3](https://www.loopandlearn.org/custom-code/#add-lnl-patches)
* [Mac-Xcode Build: Adding `CGM` Clients to 3.2.3](https://www.loopandlearn.org/custom-code/#add-cgm-323)
Each time you rebuild:

Why can't I just use Apple Health? Why do I have to add `CGM` options?
* Check to see if the customizations you selected last time are still valid or need to be updated:
* [Customize with Browser](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/gh-actions/custom-browser/)
* Check to see if you need to accept a new agreement with Apple Developer:
* [Accept Agreements](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/gh-actions/gh-update/#accept-agreements)

* Without adding this customization, your *Loop* app will stop working as soon as the phone is locked
* The *xDrip4iOS* App can write to *Apple Health* when the phone is locked
* The *Loop* App can not **read** from *Apple Health* when the phone is locked
Once a year, you will need to renew your certificates:

## Browser Build Certificate Renewal
* [Renew Certificates](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/gh-actions/gh-update/#renew-certificate)

What do I do when I get an email from Apple saying that my certificate will expire?
## Do You "Think Like a `Loop`?"

Follow the updated instructions in LoopDocs.
Here’s a helpful article by the late, great Katie DiSimone that bears reading and rereading from time to time. One of our experts says, “I have read those pages so many times and they still resonate so well with most of the thinking and ’WHY isn’t this working like I want?’".

* [Renew Certificate](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/gh-actions/gh-update/#renew-certificate)
This article is valid for any closed loop system, `Loop`, `iAPS` or even commercial systems.

* [Think Like a `Loop`](https://loopkit.github.io/looptips/how-to/think-like-loop/)

## Alert for *iAPS* Users

Warning - a logic error was accidentally introduced in version 2.2.7 of the *iAPS* app. This is the version that provides you an option to completely silence your pod. This error can cause a problem with pairing if something causes the app to quit and resume before the pairing and priming has completed. The logic error was found and fixed in the `dev` branch almost immediately. It has been added to the `main` branch, version 2.3.1.

Please rebuild as soon as possible if you are running versions 2.2.7 to 2.3.0 of the *iAPS* app.

_Master Your DIY Closed-Loop Insulin Delivery System_

Published on 24 December 2023.

## In this edition:

* [*Zoom* Sessions](#upcoming-zoom-sessions)
* [*Apple Developer* New License Agreement](#apple-developer-new-license-agreement)
* [Gifts to and from You](#gifts-to-and-from-you)
* [Helpful Links](#helpful-links)

## *Zoom* Sessions

In 2024, the&nbsp;_<span translate="no">Loop and Learn</span>_ &nbsp;Informal Discussion sessions resume on the second Thursday of each month.

## *Apple Developer* New License Agreement

Apple updated its [Developer agreement](https://developer.apple.com/news/) on 2023 December 23. Please be sure to check and sign it by 6 January, to maintain your ability to build and update!

For those who build the *Loop* App using a browser, the certificate expiration depends on when you started using this method. If you get an email your certificate is about to expire - that is independent of the agreement. You have to both agree and update.

* [Renew Certificate](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/gh-actions/gh-update/#renew-certificate)


## Gifts to and from You

### General Links for everyone

* Continued Loop Follow updates - see [Updates for the *Loop Follow* App](#updates-for-the-loop-follow-app)
* [Shared Healthcare Provider Recommendations](https://www.loopandlearn.org/hcp-recommendations/)
* Data donations to the [Tidepool Big Data](https://www.tidepool.org/blog/empowering-the-future-of-diabetes-technology-with-data) collection
* Donations to [Nightscout Foundation](https://www.nightscoutfoundation.org/) - see all the ways you can help!
* [Owlet desktop Widget Repository](https://github.com/kashamalasha/nightscout-widget-electron) provided by Dmitry Burnishev

### Links that require Facebook

* [Owlet desktop Widget](https://www.facebook.com/groups/LOOPandLEARN/posts/3564809293775549/) provided by Dmitry Burnishev
* see repository link above if you don't use Facebook
* Participation in the [LnL community on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/LOOPandLEARN)
* Suggestions of great [diabetes-related gift ideas](https://www.facebook.com/groups/LOOPandLEARN/posts/3582401498682995/) - good throughout the year!
* Great [low glucose treatment ideas - and a recipe](https://www.facebook.com/groups/LOOPandLEARN/posts/3582942028628942/)!

## Updates for the *Loop Follow* App

> Loop Follow version: 2.1.3 when this article was published
* Future Carbs: You can see future carbs displayed on the *Loop Follow* prediction plot and in the "Carbs today" display of Information
* For the best experience, ensure your "Hours of Prediction" in the Graph Settings (LoopFollow -> Settings -> Graph Settings) match the time you need for future carbs since the display is limited by the prediction time
* Enhanced Stability: We've addressed issues where Loop Follow could crash with no or only one recent blood glucose value. This fix should improve stability, but if you experience any crashes with the new version, please report them so we can continue to make improvements.
* We already got one report of a problem, but it resolved after the next CGM reading came in - we will keep fixing things in the new year
* Smoother Data Entry: Auto-capitalization has been disabled for certain fields where it's not needed, like URLs and usernames. This makes data entry more straightforward.
* Password Manager Integration: Entering your *Nightscout* and/or *Dexcom* credentials has become easier and more secure. You can now retrieve your values directly from your password manager
* For the *Nightscout* site, the username must be configured to be the URL in the password manager

We are committed to continuously improving Loop Follow and your feedback is crucial in this journey. If you have any comments or run into issues with the new update, do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for being a part of our community, and happy Looping!
