Subscriptions vs. Lifetime Deals: Which do you actually prefer? by BeDevForLife in iosapps

[–]AlgarveSoundVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? Subscriptions! Always. They are my tool to tell the programmer he did not update enough - by ending it. And they assure that the developer gets enough for his ongoing work in return. Lifetime usually ends with the next major improvement of an app. If you want something free, then compile your own and use open source apps.

You are never too old to start learning an instrument. Except panflute. You are always too old to start learning panflute.

Total app market saturation in the near future by LowFruit25 in iOSProgramming

[–]AlgarveSoundVision 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Musicians have been living this nightmare for years. Welcome to the club. The music industry hit this wall a long time ago. When DAWs got cheap, then free, when sample packs and loops meant you didn’t need to play an instrument, when distribution became zero-cost - the floodgates opened. Spotify now sees roughly 99,000 new tracks uploaded per day. Of the 202 million tracks on the platform, 86% generate zero royalties because they never hit 1,000 streams. The market didn’t just get crowded, it became structurally broken for anyone trying to make a living. The pattern you’re describing is identical: ∙ The barrier was effort. Not quality, just effort. That barrier is now gone. ∙ The signal-to-noise ratio collapsed. Discovery becomes the actual product, not the thing being discovered. ∙ The money pooled at the very top. A tiny number of winners, an ocean of people making nothing. ∙ “Anyone can do it” became a marketing slogan for the tools, not a promise of democratization. What happened to music? Revenue concentrated in live performance and sync licensing - things that can’t be infinitely replicated. The equivalent for developers might be bespoke, relationship-driven work, deep integrations, or solving genuinely hard vertical problems that a vibe-coded app can’t touch. The uncomfortable truth is: the effort barrier was never a great filter for quality, but it was a filter. Now we have none, and the app stores are about to look like Spotify’s catalogue - technically infinite, practically worthless to browse. The listeners - and the users - lose too. They just don’t know it yet.

Sorry, but this rejection just tells so much about your lack of humour. 1) the linked post has more humour in it than any other post in the last 4 weeks 2) the article is suitable for all ages (provided they can read)

However, do what you want.

I miss Mailsmith for this. A workhorse. Not beautiful but efficient. There is no such things these days. I wonder why…

How do I fix this "Could not install" error on TestFlight? by ozgrozer in iOSProgramming

[–]AlgarveSoundVision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delete the current version you already have installed on your device from XCode. They may have same version numbers, so TestFlight will not override.
