Sparrow Code for iOS developers

This is my new app Layouter about UIKit. Here the comparison of Frames & Bounds is illustrative. I'll publish more videos soon

StoreKit now allows you to reset a spent trial Previously, if a user completed the trial, all subscriptions in the group were already without a trial

At a random moment in my ASA account I start see @FoxNews companies

Apple updated the guides - now you can definitely integrate web-payments in the US: developer.apple.com/app-store/revi…

Apple Search Ads ➡️ Apple Ads

What does the difference between the 🥇 and 🥈 position in search I knew there was no traffic below the 5th position, but such a drop starting from the 2nd position surprised me

Apple is actively rolling out the new search On 18.4, the welcome screen already shows it as a working feature + active movements in search results over the last month Observations: keywords separated by commas work better than direct hits (when the key consists of 2-3 words without commas)

WWDC 2025 will take place from June 9th to 13th

🇰🇷 South Korea has implemented a verification system for subscriptions - The user starts a trial - The trial ends 🆕 Apple requests additional confirmation (via email and push) - Charge / cancellation Confirmation is only required when converting from trials and offers (when the price changes). If the user subscribes at the regular price, no confirmation is needed The system was added due to local laws. It remains unchanged for other countries

Search in the App Store is changing. Tags will be added to keywords. Now it will search not by letter matches, but by meaning So far only for some applications in the US. Within a year for all What will happen to search positions - we'll see

I rarely use expedited review, but I needed it today. A lot has changed there: 1. You no longer need to specify a reason. Just select the app and you're good to go 2. If it's rejected, the new build will automatically go through expedited review 3. 🕐 "In Review" status appears 10 minutes after submission. It's likely automated. The process was quick—20 minutes from submission to store Bookmark this direct link for expedited review: developer.apple.com/contact/app-st…

Select trader/non-trader by February 17. Otherwise the app will be deleted in Europe

If you participate in the Swift Student Challenge, Apple is already accepting your projects for review. If you doing as a full-time developer, you cannot participate

The new console's reviews page

For example, the new Passwords app was written in SwiftUI And the calculator was also rewritten in SwiftUI. I didn't notice it in the interface, but now I understand why it appeared on the iPad

Statistics of what Apple uses The UIKit killer currently occupies only 6% of Apple binaries (and in reality even less)

Apple Developer Enterprise Program will be terminated for all. Current accounts-certificates will be revoked ADEP-accounts have already received emails. Apple said “you're not the reason”

TestFlight got a dark icon. This is a reference example for complex cases If you have a clearly separated background and icon, you don't need to bother with this - the dark icon will be automatically added

Apple will be checking apps for the holidays. But with delays - I waited 3 days for the last review No change for automatic review - they approve on the day of submission

You will be notified if the app has been featured. The feature has been added to the new mobile App Store Connect

“Nominations” has been added to 👨‍💻 App Store Connect, which is a new featured system. This thread about it As before, if a nomination is rejected, there will be no notification
