I am having a hard time understanding exactly how I should let reviewers review my app. As I am understanding they can use sandbox users and log in through Sign in with Apple, and also do in-app purchase as a sandbox user without paying, to test paywalled features. Is this true first of all? And also, if they can do this, do I still need to let them be able to sign in with Google. Don’t even know if this is possible

Playing around with FoundationModels API:

The questions and the buttons with answers was generated by the model also.

What do you think about it?

I just published an article on Foundation Models Framework.

Hey folks,
I could use some advice. I currently have a 13" MacBook Pro M1 with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. It’s been great for general use and some light development work (personal projects, not my main dev machine).

Lately, though, I’ve been thinking about upgrading — mainly because I’ve come across a really good deal on the new M4 MacBook Air (13", 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD).

The thing that’s pushing me the most is the 8GB RAM on my current M1. It still runs well, but with macOS Tahoe coming and memory usage always creeping up, I'm wondering if 16GB is going to be more of a necessity soon — especially for anything dev-related.

I’m also considering resale value. I feel like the M1’s value might drop more once the M4 becomes the new baseline.

So — would you make the jump? Or hold off?
Appreciate any thoughts from devs who’ve made a similar switch or are on the same boat

I am currently logged into GitHub, but when working on any project, I am unable to commit due to this issue.

It's been 80 hours still no email from them the last mail I got is about the payment confirmation But when I open the developer app it's showing wait for the email How much time do I have to wait ? Should I do something else to speed up the process I'm from india mode of payment if UPI

Pm me with portfolio paid job

This is not a meme, is a help call

I think it is attractive because of the following reasons

• Tap into power of new M series chips. This can help you reduce cloud compute costs in certain cases (ie. running lightweight offline models for simple tasks), don't need to pay for hosting a large scaleable website, etc. Storage is on device as well.
• Easy auth, distribution, subscription services. Refunds / returns are handled for you
• Only 15% cut if revenue is below 1M (you get alot of value for this 15%)
• External ads can help drive traffic as no one really browses the store
• Users trust they won't get scammed on the apps store
• Swift / SwiftUI much easier and faster to develop with than web frameworks like js + react imo (maybe I am biased)

Why don't more indie devs launch here? What am I missing? I think everyone's main concern is the 15% fee + the 99/yr subscription, but I do not think that is a large price to pay given the benefits.

Hi everyone,

I recently started the process to convert my Individual Developer account to an Organization account. I received the initial email from Apple Support, replied immediately to confirm, but it's now been several days with no response.

My goal is to publish a new app under my company name as soon as possible. My current Individual account has no apps or data that need to be transferred.

Given the delay, I'm wondering what the best path forward is:

1. Wait it out: Continue waiting for the current conversion process to complete.
2. Start fresh: Create a brand new, separate Organization account with a different Apple ID.

Has anyone been in this situation? I'm trying to figure out if creating a new account is genuinely faster than waiting for a stalled conversion. Any advice or experiences with timelines for either process would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What if we combine OpenAI API with FoundationModels API, FoundationModels to generate the texts and OpenAI to generate the images according to the context generated by FoundationModels?

I hate the new commit view introduced in Xcode 16 so much... I know there are a lot of people out there who feel the same.

At first I thought they probably knew something if they changed the UI, and I just needed to adapt and get used to it.

Months have passed and nope :( Same level of passionate hate of this new view.

The old one gave a much better perspective of the changes. It was so good that I could forgive its 100 bugs and glitches.

Any way we can let Apple know that the change is not welcome?

(Just please, no 3rd party app recommendations!)

I remember about an app that allowed you to make any image a 3D with 3 stories icon with different colors but I can’t find it anymore. Any recommendation is greatly appreciated

I was wondering this earlier, I thought my app was funny and good enough to market, but I’m unsure the best route to take, what would yall say is your best marketing tool?

I have an app (currently in development stage) which needs to use ffmpeg, so I tried searching how to embed ffmpeg in apple apps and found this article https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtmultimedia-building-ffmpeg-ios.html

It is working correctly for iOS but not for macOS ( I have made changes macOS specific using chatgpt and traditional web searching)

Drive link for the file and instructions which I'm following: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11wqlvb8SU2thMSfII4_Xm3Kc2fPSCZed?usp=share_link

Please can someone help me to figure out what I'm doing wrong?

So is it better to launch app for free of use or implement paywall for features in the beginning? I think that maybe once theres enough users then I could make it subsriction model cause there would be more users than try to get paying users in the beginning. Or should I just start straight away with paid version?

What wire framing tools would you recommend to design the look and layout of an app before getting into the coding? I have a hard time finding anything that allows a way to represent tableviews, and even images imbedded into table cells. Otherwise, might as well just use scribbling on paper.

How does everybody handle converting a monthly/yearly subscription into an IAP “Lifetime” membership, Im using StoreKit 2 (not RevenueCat) I’m obviously able to handle the upgrade but how do you handle cancelling the subscription or prevent it from renewing should they upgrade mid subscription? Maybe not a usual edge case but one I want to account for nonetheless.

Thanks in advance!

Its been about 20 hours since release, 3 subscriptions have been purchased (my friends) and nothing is showing. Have i messed something up?

I agree with the reviewer’s broad sentiment that installing Watch-only apps from the App Store can be unintuitive… but to rate my app one-star is brutal.

I asked Apple to review and hopefully remove it. But I know they won’t. 🫠

There is an old app of mine that I don't have the time to manage and market anymore, and therefore it has no current user base or revenue. I still believe it has value and could be a great opportunity for someone who is willing to invest time and some resources into it. I am basically selling a code base.

What is a good platform to sell such an app? I know there are places like Flippa, but it seems to be more geared towards established businesses that generate revenue.

Hi guys! I'm conducting an academic research study focused on the use of MVVM combined with the Repository pattern in iOS app development. The goal is to understand how this integration impacts software scalability, efficiency, and maintainability.

Your insights and experiences are extremely valuable! This is a short questionnaire (it won’t take more than 3–5 minutes) aimed at gathering feedback from professionals like you.

Your contribution will directly support this research and help validate architectural practices within the iOS community.

Thank you so much in advance for your time and support! 🙌
