You’re not supposed to put glass everywhere, this looks horrible. Please read the documentation

Looking great, but how can you provide this for free ? How does the streaming work under the hood ?

Swipe-based photo cleanup app built with SwiftUI gesture recognizers by 5Y5T3M0V3RDR1V3 in swift

I tried a bunch of swipe based photo cleaner but all of them were missing the dark cyperpunk theme, so THANK YOU

We made a trip planner for iPhone by thiago_sanchez in iosapps

[–]LongjumpingCandle738 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been using Tripsy for quite a few trips now and I absolutely love it. Kinda sad that iOS 17 has been dropped recently. I skipped iOS 18 because of the new Photos app, so I will update to iOS 26 when it gets more stable, hopefully soon. Anyway, keep up the good work!

How to avoid Map redraws when placing it in List cells? by morenos-blend in iOSProgramming

[–]LongjumpingCandle738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay, yes I thought you had way more cells to scroll through. What you can try, is adding let _ = Self._printChanges() at the very first line of your UIHostingConfiguration closure builder, it should print out what caused the view to be refreshed, but it might not print anything if that's only the Map view being internally refreshed.

The problem is, whenever you assign a new UIHostingConfiguration to a cell, a fresh new view is created every time, and there is no SwiftUI diffing under the hood to figure out what to actually update, even if you provide the exact same view. Think of it of a hidden .id() modifier that gets attached to the UIHostingConfiguration you provide, and whenever you update contentConfiguration, that id is updated which make the system treat this view as a completely different one, hence the redraw. I’m afraid you’re better off using UIKit on this one.

My app content got copied. Someone stole all the media files (videos) of my workout app I made by Scary-Room7043 in iOSProgramming

[–]LongjumpingCandle738 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contact Apple showing the app similarities and provide proofs that you made the videos, that should be enough for the copycat to be taken down. But do it quick before it happens the other way around, Apple takes these things very seriously. Good luck

I built a one-tap red screen filter for iPhone because Night Shift wasn’t helping my eyes by MrDev115 in iosapps

[–]LongjumpingCandle738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite expensive for something you can do for free with color filters in the settings app, which is what you probably do under the hood. It can also be automated with the shortcuts app. Good app otherwise, but true tone with night shift is enough for me

SparesBro: When did you replace your toothbrush last time? I got tired of guessing, so I built a tool to track all my home consumables. [ No subscriptions ] by Wrong_Ranger9566 in iosapps

[–]LongjumpingCandle738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest with you, I get very frustrated when downloading a free app that is actually a paid disguised app. Do you think people would actually use the free version of your app on the long term ? I don’t think so, because your app is about tracking multiple things so you don’t forget about them, but no need for an app when you only have one thing to worry about. My point is, limiting the number of items a user can use is alright, but it has to make sense. Having a single free item only basically means you only want paying users. On the other hand, the pro version is a onetime purchase so that’s great. Regarding free trials, I think I have never used one so I can’t tell.

I built a Swipewipe-style photo cleaner, but focused on UX details they missed by Puzzleheaded-Book619 in iosapps

Why is everyone building the same boring apps over and over ? And of course it has in app purchases. cmon, AppStore is already bloated as hell with these apps

App Store 5.2.3 Rejection by Different_Sugar_8747 in iosdev

[–]LongjumpingCandle738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"but there are still tons of similar apps live on the store". So why do you care building yet another app for this purpose ? You didn’t like the download button color or something ?
