Indie devs, what does your refund rate looks like?

New features and functionality just keep popping up in my @RevenueCat dashboard 💕

@loverofapps Recently been dealing with a trademark troll on the App Store and ChatGPT recommended this if my app was taken down

At the end of October, my Apple Dev account that I’ve had for almost a decade is being terminated. I will be losing $10,000+ MRR because I released an app that had Nano Banana + my App Name in the title. Why? Red Flags that never leave your account + Google Is An Apple Partner

@HzaoHzao @RevenueCat Down for me as well

RevenueCat is down. @RevenueCat

@_chuckyc @HHaandr Sounds good! Flying in tonight for App Growth Annual.

So... Peter made this joke in Slack so now I'm honor bound to make this a real thing. Any fellow indies gonna be in NYC on Monday and want to meet up for lunch somewhere? 😅

@SebJVidal Yes, I was being dumb. var config = .prominentGlass() config.cornerStyle = .fixed config.background.cornerRadius = 12.0 button.configuration = config

@SebJVidal Is it possible to change the corner radius of a UIButton when using the prominentGlass() configuration? I've tried but the button seems to lose its liquid glass effect.

UIButton.Configuration has been updated too - there are new static glass() and glassProminent() methods. I assume changing the baseForegroundColor of the prominent glass button style will allow you to change the tint colour for destructive buttons like FaceTime's end call button?

@seraleev Even less competition on Mac. Release the Mac Catalyst version too

Two steps to grow your app: 1. Localization Translate your App Store page (title, description, keywords, screenshots) and the app itself. This will boost your reach and significantly improve conversions 2. iPad Support Make your app available on iPads. Competition is lower in this segment, and it opens the door to a whole new group of users

@StrongerAstro What platforms are you running paid ads on?

If you're building a consumer app, don't wait to run ads We scaled to 1M users organically. The margins were amazing But it suffered from two things: 1. Unpredictability 2. Inconsistent audience quality You should take the organic cash flow, and funnel it into paid ads At first you will lose money, but you now have a stable base to run A/B tests on Overtime you will improve your funnel, and the ROAS will turn positive You now have a paid ads engine which earns you $2 for every $1 you put in. This is the end goal

@dsteppenbeck @RevenueCat Yeah second time it’s happened in the last few weeks

Did @RevenueCat iOS notifications stop working for anyone else today? 🤔

@charlierward Look like you’re about to appear on Strictly

gpt-5 or biryani?

@wilterrero How do you monetise in Russia?

localize your app you will not regret it i spent two hours doing it now the localized versions are getting downloads on autopilot

@clokehead Sundar out

Firebase and Google Cloud are down, affecting all Data Fetcher users... what a week.

@RhysKentish I'm having this exact problem 🙃

woah massive gcp outage - funny if you want to tell your users that firebase is down but your in app messages are hosted by firebase 😅

@joshm @browsercompany Why you care more about your investors than your users

I'm working on an essay that outlines our thinking @browsercompany around Arc & Dia in detail (why not integrate into Arc, open sourcing Arc, etc). What can I answer for you? Will try to finish it this weekend & I'd love to answer the questions you have!

5 million downloads and this has never happened 🥲

@seraleev These jokers email me about 5 times a week

I generally prefer writing recommendations, but I dislike it when someone engages in underhanded tactics and undervalues the hard work of developers. Broker: Rounds.com Under the guise of purchasing, they gathered all the data about my app and then simply stopped responding. They could have just told me they weren’t interested - I would have understood. However, the emails keep coming - they’re now trying to get information about my other apps. As a result, I’ve started marking all emails from Rounds as spam. My friends have also had similar negative experiences: information gathering, wasted time, and insulting purchase offers—often three times lower than the price they initially mentioned. P.S. If anyone has had a positive experience with them, please let me know, and I’ll update my post. Perhaps we were just unlucky with their managers.

I got my RevenueCat invoice this afternoon 🥲
