@adamlyttleapps Doesn’t it create a video from an image? Did you do it without using AI?

Another interesting observation:
Lots of comments are anti-AI
This app doesn’t use ai but the assumption is that it does
Possibly because I used ai to generate the creative
But the growing sense I get is that people are sick and tired of ai content in their feed on instagram

Day 16 of banging my head against a wall with meta ads App is appealing to 65+ demographic But this comes with its own challenges: 1. How likely are they to subscribe/pay? 2. Is the onboarding too complicated? 3. If text size is bumped way up does the app still work? 4. Are older generations more cautious about apps or less? 5. Are they accidentally clicking on the ad? (Some comments are older people trying to message their family within the comment box?) Unsure if this is a viable segment to target My intuition says payment / subscription is done through a gatekeeper (son, daughter, grandchild) Targeting that demographic with intention of appealing to 65+ seems like a better model. But that seems tricky. We’ll see where it goes 🤷🏻♂️

@aibuilderclub_ This is great. Thanks for posting the instruction.
I cannot get CoWork app to run terminal cli commands. It only operates in sandbox env. Is there a way to give it permission to run terminal cli commands

DeepSeek V4 just dropped.
You can already run it inside Claude Cowork with the full desktop experience.
No Claude subscription needed.
Much cheaper for everyday use.
Here is the exact config 👇

Kickstart arrives May 15th, and you asked to see how it helps with marketing your apps. Well, here's a video showing just one of its marketing features – creating beautiful, shareable social media videos quickly and easily! I'll post a different feature tomorrow 🙂

I am enjoying the peace of not having to deal with Apple’s App Review.

@alpennec Is sensor tower data really correct? How? Its estimated for my apps aren’t correct
English
How to check app downloads & revenue right from the App Store:
1. Install the shortcut: alpennec.com/tools
2. Open the App Store, go to any app page
3. Tap the Share button
4. Select App Stats from the menu
Your stats will pop right up 🔮
Like, bookmark and share! 🫶🏻

Not one, not two, but three App Store shortcuts! 🤩
I’ve created a small webpage to host them all because iCloud links don’t update when I make changes.
Plus, I fixed the bug where parsing sometimes failed 🥳 Make sure to grab the latest versions!
Link to the webpage below 🧵

@loverofapps Now I’m getting three updates per day. The main problem now is that they have reduced quotas significantly. It runs out after five prompts and you have to touch grass for a few hours

Every time I open Codex it wants to update. Like it’s so obnoxious. I don’t know why OpenAI seems hell bent on turning success into defeat for every one of their products. They killed 4o, they content violation’d Sora into the ground, I guess Codex is next.

@OpenAIDevs @TheRealAdamG @simonw asks and @OpenAI delivers. Now can you ask about remote control for Codex pls

Stanford paid 35,000 people to quit Facebook and Instagram for 6 weeks
Depression dropped. Anxiety dropped. Happiness went up. Women under 25 on Instagram saw the biggest gains
That was 6 weeks. I'm going a full year.

@seanallen_dev Can it also include simulators? Also, the menu itself is not scrollable so when the lists are long the bottom gets clipped.

@kratosdigital1 @adamlyttleapps I published this months before CalAI. They just spent a ton on ads and I didn’t
apps.apple.com/us/app/foodana…
English
@adamlyttleapps You really think Cal AI was the original idea? It wasn't. It was just the most marketed one.
English
The message is clear: cut Apple out of profits and they’ll pass those profits to someone else. Easily avoidable.
The unintended message: copycats are now a viable and legitimate business model. That sucks.
Viktor Seraleev@seraleev
CalAI was legendary. The app that spawned hundreds of copycats Every day it’s off the App Store, they’re losing ~$100K The original is gone. The clones are thriving
English
@adamlyttleapps Why doesn’t Apple do something about these obvious copycats. It’s not hard

Finally seeing growth after a year being stuck at $70k/month
Adam Lyttle@adamlyttleapps
Sales are "stuck" at $70k/month On one hand it's stable But on the other hand there's no growth My strategy *was*: Building lots of apps to rank in organic results. Revenue grew because of the accumulative effect. But App Store has changed and that strategy feels risky. To fix the "growth" issue: I'm taking the time to build a product suited for marketing. When I looked at my portfolio: apps targeting a single keyword don't translate to meta ads (who cares about a currency converter?) The irony of building in the AI age is that my actual release schedule has *decreased*
English
@dams_app I got one of these warning. I think it's automated when a spike is observed. You just need to respond and explain that it is organic. In my case, I got a spike in one country. I removed the app from the App Store from that country temporarily. Apple never responded.
English
be me
> launch a free app 2 weeks ago
> several creators start featuring my app because it’s free
> 20k downloads in 5 days
> Apple sends violation notice threatening termination of my account
> I reply with proof it’s all real creators
> Apple sends generic “do your own investigation” boilerplate and ghosts me
success = crime on the App Store 👍
Thank you Apple

@DonnyWals I have not encountered this problem since macOS 26 either

Was hoping we'd reach 1️⃣ today but alas...

days since I had to use "sudo killall coreaudiod" on Tahoe to fix my audio: 0️⃣

In case you missed it: You can now use AppIntents to turn your macOS apps into MCP servers. This let's AI agents connect to them and perform actions on your behalf.

@weryxmrr I’m the kind of developer who runs every app through my own user experience. And as a user, I don’t like being forced to pay before I’ve even had a chance to explore the product.

Apple banned:
> trial toggle
> offer after the main paywall
Hopefully HARD PAYWALL are next

@ios_dev_alb There was a time that RevenueCat made sense. With StoreKit2 which does everything including compliant views that it generates with just one line, there is no point using anything but that.
English
Today we are rolling out service tiers in the Gemini API! You can now (optionally) set "flex" or "priority".
In the case of flex, this will save you ~50% on API costs (with lower reliability).
In the case of priority, this will cost ~80% more but give you higher priority!
