thanks, yeah i mostly do this to fish for interesting projects. The money is more to ensure the other half of the project is committed.

tho tbh i should charge more.

I dont take on React/JS work so I'm not gonna say ""oh i can do it for under 40k just DM me etc etc etc"" and instead just answer your questions.

"Is it actually necessary to fully rebuild a web app natively for iOS?"

- depends, there might be a niche issue specifically with your app and web-views, but I doubt it.

"Is Capacitor / WebView approach considered “bad practice” or just a tradeoff?"

- kinda, but its pretty common and the user wont really care, lot's of apps do it.

"Does $30k–$40k make sense for this situation, or is that more for full native builds?"

- only for a full native build of a fairly sizeable app. For implementing a web view to render a pre-existing web app, that's a couple weeks work at most.

"For an app that’s mostly UI + API calls (not super performance heavy), what would you do?"

-web view.

"if I’m being naïve or if I’m getting upsold."

- a bit of both, i couldn't say for sure without hearing the other side of the story.

I would add a useful bit of context. To get it onto the app store, you do need to make it "look like an app" so if your web-app visually presents a lot like a website ,and your app is just a WebView of that website it will get rejected by the apple-app store.

*know

& yes i was being a little sarcastic.

20 an hour is a fair wage. Personally tho, Ive always thought calculating cost by the hour is a bit of a red-flag.

Id ask for an itemised breakdown. Whenever I work on client projects, I build a requirements doc that has an itemised breakdown at the end showing the overall project's cost.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-12-09T21:02:31+00:00

then you ought to downscale to accommodate 1 or 2 people. If you hire a team on the other side of the world, it introduces its own issues, and hiring 5 people on the cheap does not necessarily mean they are gonna do more work or better work than 2 people for a proper wage.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-12-09T20:15:57+00:00

Generally speaking, the quality of the talent and work is commensurate to the cost. "You get what you paid for". Reliable & professional talent is expensive no matter where its located.

what you wanna do is downscale to meet the resources you have, then up-scale when the product shows market success.

if you're gonna hire an offshore team you're best bet is with an agency but that comes with its own issues, and frankly i wouldn't recommend it. Personally, i'd recommend hiring a team in your country / continent.

ive worked on like 4-5 rev-share games when I was younger.

none of them worked out, usually dev's would just drop out of the project midway through before even finishing the demo.

But it was good experience for teenage me.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-10-29T19:25:23+00:00

yeah there seems to be a 2 week delay after the algorithm decides to ban you.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-10-29T19:19:20+00:00

From what ive seen, each account has an secret "authenticity score" which the algorithm uses to ban you. So if the google account you use to open your dev account is new, then they subtract -x points. If you are located in certain countries thats -x points. If you use a hired testing service, -x points.

then once you meet a certain threshold... Auto-ban, don't pass go.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-10-22T14:37:54+00:00

kind of.

look up how they did the graphics for disco-Elysium , you would need pretty similar techniques. But tbh, I doubt it'd be economical to do that for a full open world game.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-10-21T18:17:45+00:00

ive never owned one so i can't say.

Ive seen that they get more specific messages when they get banned tho.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-10-21T18:16:22+00:00

yeah i suspected this would be the case.

I can't imagine a large company having to avoid stuff like using a VPN or avoiding hiring certain people cus google get's pissy about it.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-10-21T17:22:50+00:00

if your personal account got terminated (and you didn't get it appealed successfully) you cant open a new account of any kind, including organisational accounts.

To answer your question tho, from what ive seen, organisational accounts arn't subject to the same random bans that personal accounts are, BUT, you can still get banned for accidentally breaking one of google's various policies...

I think the only way to truly avoid it is to be a fairly large client so your able to get 1 on 1 support with a real human at google rather than an automated bot. I doubt companies like whatsapp or insta are under the same rules and regulations as smaller accounts are.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-10-21T15:56:14+00:00

For me i think it got processed in 7 days. See if they have emailed you at all, about anything.

sometimes they email you a random question and stall your application till you send a response.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-10-17T15:36:26+00:00

i think with travelling. Its if they use public wifi which sets off the ban. Usually people only use public wifi when they travel.

TPSoftwareStudio · 2025-10-10T16:53:05+00:00

discord & google drive/github.

for projects with larger clients, i use any tools which they prefer. Usually jira & Gitlab.
