Apple must now allow apps to offer their payment systems outside the App Store, but hey, remember that you can subscribe to Twitter Blue on the web and it's cheaper. But apparently, that's not everything.

Hey guys, Stripe isn't free, and you also have to manage refunds in addition to implementing a custom page, auth and 3D secure. What's the point? If you're a big company, it's fine, but otherwise, there's no reason, unless you like wasting your time and money.

When I'm asked why I don't build apps for Android: everything is said.

Why Android sucks (for solo app developers)
In this video I show why Android just isn't viable for solo app developers despite its massive market share. I reveal how endless device compatibility issues...

Originally, I just wanted to share my App Store Notifications V2 management code between my backends that needed it...
But I got carried away 😂
The backend has been working very well for 3 weeks, it makes my life much easier +++ And on top of that, I have a nice dashboard app.

Developers will be replaced by AI 🤖

I'm not sure 🤔

I don't know of many jobs that people are passionate about that have been replaced by progress.

ChatGPT + TDD using Swift Testing

I find this approach to TDD rather interesting, ChatGPT hallucinates, that's a fact, so I have it write the algorithm and the unit tests, I implement them then I write the UI code.

A good way to combine the ease of ChatGPT with the robustness of unit tests

It's time to finish one of my new app started in september during the #shipaton, an iOS translation app, but more importantly, a translation keyboard extension.

Growth again 🚀

This is what user support should always look like!

1h 43m from request to fix in waiting for review 💪

(For those who create SaaS, you have the advantage of not having to wait for the Apple Review team 🤫)

I have 4 apps (2 iOS and 2 macOS) waiting for review for almost 5 days, is it the same for you?

Rainy Saturday? Cody Saturday 👨🏼‍💻

I've started creating onboarding for my new macOS app, which lets me manage iOS / macOS app translations based on the String Catalogue (.xcstrings) format. 😍

I have to admit that @helm-app.bsky.social is really great 👍

I started coding an app in June 2024 to do exactly the same thing just before discovering that Helm existed (the app was still in beta and therefore invisible during my searches on the App Store).

It's the last day of the year 😇

But I have a problem with translations in my iOS and macOS apps...

Today I use phrase.com to manage all the translations for all my apps. It's a nice SaaS but it has several problems in my opinion + high prices.

My Git Wrapped
I changed my account at the beginning of the year without changing my git username in all the projects, so there are gaps depending on the project I'm working on.

Next major version allow you to direct upload to App Store Connect and keep screenshot order 🤯

The reason why there aren't many app « buddies » for App Store Connect?

The API docs 😂, but also SDK docs such as the appstoreconnect-swift-sdk!

But once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straightforward 👨‍💻
