## Time to Spring Forward in the U.S.

Sunday, March 10, 2024 at 2 am, the time zone changes for most of the US! If your time zone changes, then in the morning, you will see a clock in the pump icon on the main screen of your *Loop* app.

Follow these simple steps to sync your pump to the current time:

1. Tap on the pump icon to go to your pump screen
1. Scroll down to the Pump Time row
1. If your pump time doesn't match your phone time, you can change it by tapping on the Sync to Current Time button and confirm you want to sync the time

Here's the link to LoopDocs:

* [Time Zone](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/loop-3/displays-v3/#time-zone){:target="_blank"}

A Look Ahead:

* Europe: 31 March: Spring Forward
* Parts of Australia: 7 April: Fall Back

## iOS 17.4 is OK

Our mentors have successfully built Loop main, Loop dev, and iAPS 2.3.3 using Xcode 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 to iPhones running iOS 17.4. The Browser method also builds to an iOS 17.4 phone.

## Behind the Scenes
## Time to Spring Forward in the U.S.

Any idea how many messages the LnL team exchanges about changes to documentation in any given week? We bet you'll be surprised! Why do we do this?
Sunday, March 10, 2024 at 2 am, the time zone changes for most of the US! If your time zone changes, then in the morning, you will see a clock in the pump icon on the main screen of your *Loop* app.

* The *Loop* `dev` branch gets updated
* We prepare for the next release of the *Loop* app
* Customizations are added or adjusted, with associated documentation
* Methods for building Loop (Browser and *Mac* builds) are updated
* Accessory apps are created or updated
* Someone tells us that they can’t understand something in the docs and we think of better -or more succinct- ways to explain it
* Questions get asked that indicate documentation needs clarity
* *Apple* updates an operating system (iOS, macOS, Xcode version)
Follow these simple steps to sync your pump to the current time:

Thanks to all who participate in our community by asking questions and letting us know when something needs clarifying - you help us all!
1. Tap on the pump icon to go to your pump screen
1. Scroll down to the Pump Time row
1. If your pump time doesn't match your phone time, you can change it by tapping on the Sync to Current Time button and confirm you want to sync the time

### Answer to Behind the Scenes
Here's the link to LoopDocs:

The answer is between 50 and 75 messages. We work hard to keep things up-to-date and informative.

## Be Ready to Rebuild
A Look Ahead:

A reminder: If you are using the *Loop* app or any other DIY APS, be prepared to rebuild whenever the need arises. Various reasons may necessitate this. Here are some tips to help you navigate rebuilding with minimal stress:
* Europe: 31 March: Spring Forward
* Parts of Australia: 7 April: Fall Back

#### Allow Sufficient Time for Rebuilding:
## iOS 17.4 is OK

* Recognize that DIY Loop is experimental, and you may need to rebuild at any time.
* If time constraints are an issue, be prepared to revert to traditional pump therapy if needed.
Our mentors have successfully built Loop main, Loop dev, and iAPS 2.3.3 using Xcode 15.1, 15.2 and 15.3 to iPhones running iOS 17.4. The Browser method also builds to an iOS 17.4 phone.

#### [*Mac* Builders](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/build/overview/){:target="_blank"}: Keep your Operating Systems Updated

* Ensure you update your *Mac* OS promptly when *Apple* releases a new version.
* Avoid updating iOS ahead of macOS; check [Version Updates](https://www.loopandlearn.org/version-updates/){:target="_blank"} first!

#### iOS Update Considerations:

* When you update to the newest iOS, be ready for loopless periods during download, update, reboot and, potentially, while *Apple* Health indexes. The index delay doesn't happen to everyone, but when it does, it can take up to an hour.

#### Consider the [Browser Build](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/gh-actions/gh-overview/){:target="_blank"} Strategy for Rebuilding

* First-time setup takes a couple of hours; subsequent rebuilds take less than a minute and can be done from your phone, anywhere you have internet connection.
* Suitable for urgent situations, especially if you're a *Mac* builder without immediate access to a *Mac*. The *Loop* app can be installed on your phone from TestFlight should the need arise.
* Watch this short [Browser Build video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ipTsiqbbrQ){:target="_blank"}
* Browser Build expires every 90 days, but you can rebuild using your iPhone and it only takes a few minutes. Dev has an auto rebuild feature and Loop 3.4 will have it as well.

#### Help is Available:

* Loop and Learn has volunteers on [*Facebook*](https://www.facebook.com/groups/LOOPandLEARN){:target="_blank"} that can help you virtually, 24/7/365 across all time zones should you run into issues.
See our [Version Updates](https://www.loopandlearn.org/version-updates/){:target="_blank"} page for update info at any time!
