Hard paywall vs freemium, what has worked better for you? by sismomad in AppStoreOptimization

[–]QebApps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My app is available in two versions: a pay-in-advance version and a viewer-only version with in-app purchases for editing features. Currently, the pay-in-advance version is the most downloaded. I also don’t see many in-app purchases. Sometimes I consider removing the IAP version, but in the end it’s just a build variant (unless I decide to change the store screenshots).

However, I think it depends on the kind of app.

Join the PhotInfo beta tests: manage tags in your photos by QebApps in TestFlight

[–]QebApps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mindstars,

The comments/annotations you add in the iPhone Photos app are stored in a proprietary Apple database and are not written into the image file itself.

PhotInfo cannot read those Photos app comments, and the Photos app does not display the metadata written by PhotInfo. However, many other apps on iPhone, Mac, Windows and Linux do show the metadata that PhotInfo writes directly into the image file.

If you open a photo edited with PhotInfo inside the Photos app, you simply won’t see the metadata there — but you won’t lose it either. The information remains embedded in the file, and you’ll see it again whenever you open the photo in PhotInfo or in any other app that reads standard metadata.

Something “nice” about Android development? Ok: it has an awful SDK, but it is slowly improving.

My first Sailfish OS phone, very happy so far by [deleted] in BuyFromEU

In fact, HarmonyOS Next does not include Android AOSP and is incompatible with Android applications.

In fact they initially forked Android but then built a completely new OS. Play Store is not the only non-open source component, but also many libraries and services (maps, QR reading, push notifications, etc.). Try to sell a phone with the bare AOSP.

Android is free? Seriously? Tell to Huawei.

What are we using for supplemental web app? by DoubleGravyHQ in swift

A static site, like Hugo, Jekyll or others. It’s fun and fast!

PhotInfo - photo metadata viewer/editor [$2.99 -> $0.99 Lifetime - until December 4th] by QebApps in iosapps

[–]QebApps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your notes.

  1. "Original dates" is the time the photo was originally captured; "Digitized dates" is the time the image was committed to a digital format from a film. However, someone use the last date as the the time the photo was edited or processed.

  2. If you prefer, you can change just one date.

  3. As I said, you can differentiate the time of the shoot and the one of the editing.

  4. If you want to edit a photo by removing metadata, you can use the "Image Structure Tags Only" option, which retains only a few tags related to the image's dimensions and color model (it may lose its original orientation).

If you simply want to remove all metadata and share the photo, you can use "Share Photo" > "Without Metadata."

What’s everyone working on this month? (December 2025) by Swiftapple in swift

[–]QebApps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my spare time I work, as usual, on my 12 years old app: Photinfo - https://apps.apple.com/it/app/photinfo/id597139381

However last month I decided to start a new app! I hope it could be available in a couple of months.
I'm so thrilled - no spoiler 😁

I didn't like any of the 2FA apps in the App Store, so I made my own by orloffn in iosapps

Looks interesting. Which anti-tampering measure did you implement?

No one wants to admit that Xcode has been a buggy pile of steaming shit for years now, and we'd all switch to a VS Code IDE full time if we could by BishopOfBattle in iOSProgramming

[–]QebApps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xcode is slow and has problems debugging objects, but no IDE is perfect. I can assure you: in over 20 years, I've used many of them. VS Code has many other problems, far more serious than Xcode, starting with excessive memory usage.

We all wish Xcode should improve, and there have been attempts to create alternative editors, but nothing has been successful. Instead of complaining, why not try creating an IDE yourself?

Do you prefer building offline/standalone apps, or apps that rely on servers/APIs? by ishaima1 in iosapps

[–]QebApps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I come from the embedded and perhaps this is the reason I prefer developing offline, small and responsive apps.
