My physical ios device test harness has no pin numbers/touch id activated for any of the connected phones. I noticed early on in testing that it would require physical access to reinput the pin code even when the device was already unlocked when I would restart an XCUI test.
If you're able to have fully unlocked devices at your test setup I'd suggest giving that a shot to see if it fixes your issue around device restart.

We're a small and nimble engineering team with lots of back end work that we could use some help with. We cover both sourcing (web crawling), cleaning, and formatting of large (150M+ data points a month) datasets. We'd love to talk with you if you have experience with either building/maintaining data pipelines or working on web crawling/scraping.

Pretty sure any updates to the software count as additional R&D. Just running software you've already created doesn't count though. Something interesting we were asked was how much of our cloud costs involved developing software vs running existing software to determine if those costs must also be amortized over 5 years.
For purposes of this section, any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software shall be treated as a research or experimental expenditure.
We've heard a mix of advice from various tax professionals on what should be classified as R&D or not. The messaging gets expecially mixed since the R&D tax credit is often handled by a 3rd party that specializes in it. The company specializing in the tax credit may be incentivized to classify as much of your activity as R&D as they can, since they are usually paid a percentage of the total credits they are able to claim for your company.
It certainly complicates running a software company. My cofounder and I need to look at the amortization schedule before making any engineering hire as we basically need to consider their salary nearly 100% R&D. I imagine it's even more complicated for founders with overseas teams.
It would certainly be easier for us to do business if Section 174 was revised :)
Not who you responded to, but I worked in college radio for a while. Depending on what CDs they were listening to, generally the label will highlight which tracks are standouts and that you should listen to. Usually it would be 3 or 4 tracks max (generally track 1, 3 and 4 though there are exceptions).
Most tracks are 3 minutes long.. so given an average of lets say 3 songs a cd at 3 minutes each... 100 x 3 x 3 / 60 == 15 hours of listening (hand wavey no time to change cd and stuff...). So yeah probably pushing the limits of reasonable but not quite as crazy as you might think.
Also, although it was unfair to the artist, I would usually make up my mind on pop songs by the end of the first chorus. If I'm not hooked within 1 minute it's probably not going to play on my show. It was brain numbing work, and frankly made me view music as a chore for a few years afterwards... but you can listen to quite a few tracks this way and try and find the few gems amongst the chaff so to speak.
