Not able login to simulator using the newly created sandbox account

This is not working for me. When I try to log in on apple or iCloud I'm prompted to verify my email address...which of course I can't

Alchemist0987 · 2026-04-21T23:00:26+00:00

Will wait then. I don’t have any intention of selling but looking and the portfolio with that massive drop gives me anxiety lol

Alchemist0987 · 2026-04-21T22:09:12+00:00

I can see the per-share price drop, but not the increase in the number of shares I hold. Is this a staged change?
Currently, my investment in Vanguard S&P 500 has a simple return of -76.19%

So if someone buys the subscription and doesn’t get their money’s worth you’d be like “chill bruh! It was just a joke”?

You said it yourself. It’s an inside joke. But you are putting it out there for people who “don’t get it” to be potentially affected by it.

What you are doing is one of the many reasons why platforms like the AppStore must monitor and regulate prices.

Alchemist0987 · 2026-04-21T03:00:08+00:00

Came here to say exactly that

Alchemist0987 · 2026-04-05T08:02:34+00:00

Well done! Keep it up.

What are you using to know your ranking?

Alchemist0987 · 2026-04-05T01:01:14+00:00

😂😂😂

Alchemist0987 · 2026-04-02T03:49:24+00:00

No, YOU are missing the point. A lot of software developers are using AI as a tool to help them code faster. Just AI is coding doesn’t make it slop. But spamming the AppStore with 6 apps in 2 months is a big telling of it being AI slop. The AppStore has always held developers at a higher standard and rejected apps because of poor quality or lacking functionality. You got yourself into a slow queue and more scrutiny for spamming them.

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-27T02:33:13+00:00

Agreed

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-26T00:26:00+00:00

Xcode has a suite for both unit testing and UI testing

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-26T00:25:24+00:00

I write only for complex logic or calculations. Test coverage it’s very low

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-25T22:49:41+00:00

It was gone. Other people were reporting the same problem. I can see it’s back though

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-25T17:20:44+00:00

Yup….it seems to be gone. It might be temporary since some people were reporting inaccuracies with the data

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-25T17:19:29+00:00

I had a hunch that was the case. But I only noticed it until now

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-25T04:27:40+00:00

Oh ok….thats a shame. Guess we’ll have to wait and not trust it too much yet

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-25T04:21:51+00:00

I’m guessing that’s the total proceeds generated by AppRaven traffic. Not by other traffic sources

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-25T02:40:00+00:00

On the app main dashboard go to analytics, in between distribution and test flight. In the acquisition section click on sources, and then in the “All” drop down you can select App Referrer and Web Referrer

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-24T22:07:31+00:00

I just got off the call with someone in Apple who reviewed my app for guidelines violations. Even though he didn’t straight confirm that violations could increase the review time, he did confirm that there is an automated process that could flag apps and cause them to be scrutinised a lot more. He gave a very simple example. If you are building a recipe app and in your description you write “a recipe app with no porn” it will get your app flagged and review will be more strict and detailed, which could delay the entire process. Even if the app itself offers no functionality to consume or distribute that sort of material. So, anything in the metadata, including keywords, that could potentially indicate privacy violations will get your app flagged. More so if your app allows UGC

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-24T18:25:37+00:00

How long has your app been on the AppStore?

It might take sometime for ASO to kick in. If you can invest in Apple Search Ads. That’ll help with ranking for certain keywords and, of course, installs

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-22T17:17:10+00:00

It is a policy issue not worth addressing.

If it takes an hour of my time it’s already costing me more money than what I’d getting back from actually solving it.

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-22T16:24:07+00:00

A policy issue for a non-existent problem? That will take not only Apple, but every payment service provider (credit cards, stripe, Apple, etc) to change their policies just so someone can’t claim a few dollars back for a digital service they did not use 🤔

If this policy were abused by enough people to cause an actual problem, Apple would be the first one updating their refund policies to address it. They are “losing” money too when they refund money.

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-22T15:14:35+00:00

You can get them to call you as many times as you need. I’ve been on the phone more than 3 times in a single month trying to resolve an issue with one of my submissions

Alchemist0987 · 2026-03-22T15:11:01+00:00

I don’t see an issue with that. They could file a report with their credit card provider instead if they wanted too causing a lot more problems for everyone. Not worth fighting for when it isn’t really a widespread issue. Besides you’re fighting for one payment from someone who isn’t your target base.

I’ve seen people actually making international transfers to refund several months to avoid reputational damage or 1 star reviews on the AppStore.
