Definitely a nice surprise to start the day with! For some reason I can’t message you. Could have preference set to only people who you follow can send you a message.

That’s so cool congrats! I have some quick questions about the nomination/selection process and was wondering if I could send you a DM? Would love to get featured one day as well

Changing Xcode Header Comment How do you change the header comment at the top of a new source file?

Want to hear a neat Xcode trick?

Did you know you could customize the comments that show up at the top of each .swift file in Xcode? Loads of semantic variables to help you up your meta data game.

Anyone had their meta ads rejected for copyright reasons after flagged by outtake ai? It seems to be targeting at ads that don't contain any copyrighted materials at all...

WAVS users: We are aware of potential performance issues when a large number of logs exists. We are exploring potential solutions and will release an update to address this as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Oh man. Forgot to submit consumables along app review now users get the version but can't purchase. Wish App Store Connect had something similar to Gmail's "did you forget an attachment in your email?"

Couple things come to mind:

1. App Store Optimization (i.e., figuring out keywords, localizations, and convey product values in the first three screenshots)

2. Experiment with Apple Search Ads Advanced for keywords

3. Engage with potential users on social media platforms (e.g., reddit)

A user reached out for a feature request. Super stoked to work on it and pull together my first public beta! Ngl customer support is kinda fun

With iOS/iPadOS 26 approaching, will you be adopting Liquid Glass in your app? Why or why not?

Happy indie-pendence day!

For indie developers out there, feel free to drop your app in the comments for a honest review (either in dm or on app store).

Anyone use CloudKit as backend? How's your experience?

Here's a really awesome talk I recently came across by @mufasayc.com

Here's mine. Followed up with them but never heard back. App's at a 0% crash rate still leaves me wonder what led to the issue

Founders:

How do you wind down and disengage from work? Endless items on the to-do list and always chasing the next shiny object. Any tips?

a screenshot from App Store Connect showing a Crash Rate of zero percent where zero percent is at the leftmost end of a scale

A bit over two months since launch.

So happy to see crash rate is still at zero! Though it'd make more sense to flipped the scale

Gotcha - any chance you planning on open sourcing it or releasing as an app? Would love to support

Is this built natively into App Store Conenct? Which page is this? Would be super neat to have this insight

People who use SkAdNetwork with TikTok Ads:

Do you have a grayed out "Update to SKAN 4.0" button in Events Manager (i.e., Events Manager -> <Your App> -> Settings)?

A side rant: how exactly do people contact TikTok Ads Support? They fully replaced by AI? Ughhh

No worries - figured I should ask in case I was missing out on something

Thanks for sharing! Do you know if there is a similar tool that can help with previewing (basically "Canvas" in Xcode) on either Linux and Windows? Doing a build every time seems wasteful if someone is only interested in adjusting spacing or padding in modular view.

Anyone have experience upgrading from SKAN 3.0 to 4.0 in TikTok Ads Manager? It's grayed out despite there have been event postbacks received.

5. Image added to both project director and asset. No "@<number>x" in image name. Make sure your image is .png (not jpeg)
6. Reboot device
7. Build again.
8. Run

Ugh always a pain making an image show up on launch screen. Here's a checklist if you are in a similar spot.

1. Clean derived data
2. Close & reopen Xcode
3. Update dependencies
4. Clean build folder

Are there any reliable ways to get in touch with Meta Business support? Business account was restricted out of the blue and said I could not request for a review

What are people's thoughts prompting users to leave feedback?

Do you take them to your product page so they can leave a written review? Or, do you only prompt them in-app to leave a star rating?

Or, do you use a 3rd party service for written feedback separate from App Store?

Purchase required? Or literally anyone who walks in today (ofc while supplies last). Do I need to own an Apple watch and present them with closed ring?
