A couple of days ago, I finally released Spending Sensei, an app I've been working on for the past few months! You can try it for yourself here: apps.apple.com/pl/app/spendin… It mimics the internal reasoning I use when considering unnecessary purchases 🟢 Tell the Sensei what you want to buy 🟢 Discuss the purchase with him 🟢 Get a buy/skip recommendation based on your answers I'm incredibly proud of the app and would appreciate any feedback!

Decided to run my first campaign using Apple Basic Ads and it just got approved! Super excited to see how it stacks up against the Advanced ones I set up for other apps 👀 I'll share some updates after it runs for a couple of weeks

@SlowbrewedS @rork Honestly from my experience this is the best part. It picked a simple MVVM, but the code is very clean and simple to modify

@appsbeforenaps @rork What does it look performance wise and is the code maintainable? Any insights into the kind of architectural decisions it made?

I just tried @rork and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. It can't one-shot an app yet (at least not the one I prompted it to build), but it's pretty close in my opinion

@seraleev Is there any actual benefit to removing your apps from the App Store (if they have no running costs)? I feel like it's better to leave them and get an occasional download or even a sale from time to time

One less app in the portfolio. It simply lost the competition for my time and resources.

From your experience, is it worth localizing your apps and their App Store listings, or do you stick to English only?

While I understand that the flood of vibe-coded slop makes App Store review take longer, it’s still a pain in the ass when they reject your build for something minor that you can fix in a minute, only to send you back to the end of the line to wait days for another review

I released my first app in 2019. Finally, after more than 6 years, I received my first money transfer from Apple 💰. It feels awesome to actually make money from the apps you create. Hoping I won’t have to wait another 6 years for the next one 😆

This is Punch, a baby Japanese macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan, cuddling a plush orangutan toy for comfort after being rejected by his mother.. 🥺

Month later, the App Store ratings for Zoney have finally stabilized. There’s hardly any movement now I’m getting 2–3 downloads per day, definitely hoped for more, but I’m not complaining. The lack of US ratings is a major obstacle, so I’m trying to figure out how to get some

Update for Zoney is out! I focused heavily on ASO in it and I'm excited to see its impact on downloads and app rankings. Here's a screenshot of my rankings today. Looking forward to checking again in a week If you're curious, follow along—I'll post weekly updates.

Wasn't really active here recently since my motivation wasn't all there, but I finally decided to start posting again. That said, it's not like I haven't been working in the meantime 👀 Next app is already waiting for review

This is how you know you’ve had a successful day of building your product and it’s time to take a break

@ios_dev_alb 100% this. AI can be a great tool if you already have experience; if not, it may cause you a lot of trouble. We've already seen cases of people exposing their private keys because they had no idea what they were doing

If I were starting iOS development today, I’d learn the fundamentals first. AI is powerful, but only for those who already know how to code. Small projects are easy. But when things get serious, like payments and users, you’re responsible for everything.
