@jndvss Good luck! Onto the distribution challenge 💪

my first app witsy has finally been approved after being rejected 4 times 🙌 i started building exactly 27 days ago it‘s a huge milestone for me but the most difficult part starts now

@BratDotAI Nice, let us know how you do!

@_danmccann I would be starting it soon maybe.

Do you treat 0 downloads/day as motivation to work harder, or as demotivation to focus less?

@BratDotAI Let’s!

If you’re into AI, indie iOS apps, SaaS, or building products from zero, let’s connect.

@Himanshu_042 Great work!

my first iOS app just got approved by apple 🎉 apple really said ‘okay okay we believe you’ 😂

@nanahrii Ship quickly, marketing and distribution is the real challenge

Any advice for someone building her first iOS app?

Just finished setting up AppsFlyer to start testing paid TikTok ads for my app 👀 Honestly feels like I’m entering a completely different game now. Building the app was one challenge. Learning acquisition, attribution, CAC, creatives, and retention is a whole new skill set. Let’s see if I can turn 125 downloads into something bigger 🚀

@andrew_sereda Interesting! Thanks man.

@_danmccann I shared the process of building the app in threads, and it got good attention. I found threads much better then X, where it's impossible to get views if you not a mass-follow or reply-guy

🔥 I've got my first paid customer! Yay

@andrew_sereda Great stuff. Any words of wisdom? Currently working my way through the world of organic at the moment.

@_danmccann thanks, organic only

@YashHustle_22 Telemetrydeck for now!

What are you using for analytics? - PostHog - Plausible - Mixpanel - Google Analytics

@molaerga New account! Wrong audience on the old account I would say.

Got an old TikTok (10K followers, different niche) Should I repurpose it for marketing my app or start a new account?

GM Guys. Share your app! 💡

I just published a breakdown of how I got my iOS app approved on the first App Store submission. No rejections. No back-and-forth. No vague guideline issues. I shared: • The exact checklist I used • Common mistakes I avoided • How I handled subscriptions • What I wrote in review notes • Why most apps get rejected If you’re building an app right now, this will probably save you time. x.com/_danmccann/sta…

Now the fun part starts: Getting users. 125 downloads in the first 5 weeks so far 🚀 Building in public from here.

Biggest lesson: App Review isn’t trying to stop you. Apple mainly wants: • Working apps • Honest metadata • Clear subscriptions • Good UX • No scams If you cover the basics properly, approval becomes much easier.

My iOS app got approved on the first submission 🤯 No rejections. No metadata issues. No guideline violations. Here’s exactly what I did before hitting “Submit for Review” 👇
