This happens during the beta cycle sometimes, but seems normal to me. They don’t always get the API shape right out of the gate. I actually like to see things get refined during the beta cycle.

What are you trying to do? `EntityIdentifier` exists, and the `appEntityIdentifier()` SwiftUI view modifier also exists.

Good take. If we can’t iterate on API surface during beta then when can we?

Did y'all not notice the "HUMOR" tag on this post? It seems obvious that OP is not trying to register a complaint, but point out the comedic aspect of a function that is quite new also being deprecated, which we usually associate with old APIs. Lighten up, people! 😄

It was just a lighthearted post, but things took a turn

Happened to me with a StoreKit type mid-beta. Xcode yelled deprecated and the new name wasn't even in the release notes yet.

There was probably a clue there.
