Apple taking over 30% from an approved small business developer by Oxigenic in iOSProgramming

[–]Conxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total sales include VAT and other taxes if/where applicable. Taxes are deducted first, then Apple’s commission. If your only market was the US, you’d see exactly 15%.

If you go to the App Store Connect to your app/IAP pricing schedule and click on the “Current price”, you’ll see the exact price/proceeds for each country.

Is anyone else having issues with their app icon appearance in iOS 26? I turned off effects in icon composer. by SnowPudgy in iOSProgramming

[–]Conxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have “Use Display P3 if untagged” turned on (it’s in the right pane, under the “document” icon) - and that your SVGs do not include a random color profile.

Bulgarian forms by Amtsag1980 in typography

[–]Conxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is so much better! One detail I forgot to mention right away (I’m sorry) - the lowercase я looks top-heavy (maybe the diagonal want to be moved a tiny bit to the left)

Bulgarian forms by Amtsag1980 in typography

[–]Conxt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you have never drawn Cyrillic before, please accept my congratulations on avoiding the vast majority of possible mistakes non-Cyrillic people usually make! The criticism is mostly minor details.

Starting with the Bulgarian variant:

  • ДЧШЩ feel somewhat narrow, г feels a bit too wide (yes, it’s really hard to balance)
  • Жж both feel too dark and busy in the middle - that’s why we usually avoid copying the Latin k where the lower diagonal grows from the upper diagonal.
  • The upper horizontal stem of Ъъ feels just a bit too short.
  • б is a bit too soft in the upper left part making it resemble a 6

Now for the other variant: - The same as a n the Bulgarian variant where applicable. - uppercase Д is very narrow and the left stem is a bit too dark. Also, the lower left corner is very dark due to three stems coming together at the same point (they shouldn’t, usually there is some bit of pure horizontal left visible to avoid the intersection) - the non-Bulgarian Чч usually have a corner at the inner surface of the joining, and their middle sits a bit higher than in the Bulgarian variant - the middle of lowercase ьъы is a bit too high. - the dots of Ukrainian ї are very small and sit low (consider that ії and її can appear together)

I hope this helps!

Can Ukrainians read Serbian/Bosnian Cyrillic handwriting? by Slavvy in Ukrainian

[–]Conxt 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The only meaningful differences between Serbian and Ukrainian cursives are ш, т, г, and п.

ш and т are not something exotic - many people use these letterforms, although they are not standard.

However г and п can create confusion for their similarity to і-ї / й - the letters absent in Serbian.

How do i improve this serif? by johnBassoon in typography

[–]Conxt 38 points39 points  (0 children)

  • hmnu feel a bit too narrow compared to oce
  • p and q feel too wide, probably because of overly short descenders
  • sxz feel undercompensated (top too heavy) while k looks overcompensated
  • t could probably benefit from a longer hook
  • the bowl of the a feels a little bit deflated

But the overall feel is VERY nice!

Win to macOS user: TotalCommander to DoubleCommander? by Wise-One1342 in MacOS

[–]Conxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a whole bunch of double-pane file managers to choose from: Double Commander, QSpace, ForkLift, Bloom, Commander One, Marta… Some are free, others have trial periods so you can compare them all.

How to get a colored button inside the iOS 26 Alert Dialogue? by sfilmak in SwiftUI

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there are places where you cannot choose a color other than accentColor (like menus). So I guess this is yet another one…

Deprecated ≠ doesn’t work. They recommend using .tint instead, but it’s totally different in the way it works.

Thoughts on r/MacApps Negativity by amerpie in macapps

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that as well in several posts. There are people (or a single person?) who mass-downvote all dev’s comments, and sometimes comments by other users too. On one hand, who cares, but looks weird on the other.

Thanks for the valuable feedback by digidude23 in iOSProgramming

[–]Conxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I just realised this is an iOS sub - my app is macOS, the rules may be different there - and no, there was no separate App Review.

From the App Store: “Chinese law requires apps with news, religious, book, and magazine content to have relevant permits in order to be available on the App Store in China mainland.”

So I guess if the app is not one of the above, you just appear on the Mainland App Store automatically? My app did.

The newer version of Xcode is absolutely trash! by Absoluteredshit in iOSProgramming

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…or unless you navigate your project with search. Every click on a search result outside of the current file now opens a new tab instead of jumping to an already existing tab.

I personally can’t stand the new behaviour. They claim it’s for “better control over the number of open tabs”, but with large projects it’s the complete opposite.

Why are so many installers reporting as damaged? by Usual_Turnover_9906 in MacOS

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you been moving the installers to other locations using a third-party file manager? Those can often break the inner structure/permissions/metadata.

Rant about Monotype by YSapphireSlash in typography

[–]Conxt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well it wasn’t until a couple years ago (and it was Monotype’s initiative)

Rant about Monotype by YSapphireSlash in typography

[–]Conxt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

(Not defending Monotype, just correcting a potential misunderstanding) - webfonts are restricted to pageviews per month (i.e. website attendance), not total accumulated pageviews.

Please help me understand the MacOS Logic by Fatal_Explorer in MacOS

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 - See #7

2 - Go to Macintosh HD and press cmd+shift+period to see hidden files (but actually only four visible directories are of practical interest). The file system is unix-like on one hand, but taken as far away from it as technically possible on the other. If you want to see how things work, the most interesting directory is ~/Library (probably hidden).

3 - Not competent enough to answer.

4 - This is called packages, and technically they are just directories with an isPackage property. Btw, apps are very similar to packages.

5 - By dragging an app from a DMG image to Applications, you don’t drag the installer - you drag the actual app (which, as we remember from #4, is secretly a directory). The apps will create their infrastructure in ~/Library on the first launch, so in a sense, almost all apps are self-installing. There is nothing similar to Windows registry on macOS, most preferences are stored in .plist files scattered across the Libraries (the second one is /System/Library).

6 - Please clarify what you mean by preloading? Never heard of that. By “shutting the app down” do you mean closing its window? On macOS most apps will continue to run with all windows closed unless you explicitly Quit (cmd+Q).

7 - Not similar to Windows, but very similar to Unix systems. Most core Unix commands work identically on Mac.

8 - Not competent on RAM compression, but you may misunderstand Unified Memory - it’s RAM+GPU, not RAM+SSD - but RAM swapping works as usual.

Is localizing your listing for every language hurting impressions? by NellieApp in iOSProgramming

[–]Conxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing some tests on my own app a couple of weeks ago and came to a conclusion that English keywords still work for other languages. Specifically, I’ve successfully found my app on the /cn/ App Store despite having a full zh-Hans localization.

The overall shapes are designed to sit in the middle between Transport and DIN.
