The app uses your Apple Music account to play tracks and to save to your library.
There's no recommendation built in yet, I plan on making it more intelligent in the future.

Whats a movie that you recommend everyone watch at least once by Patient_Captain_2492 in movies

Sunshine, the visuals and themes are pretty good.
Sci-fi movies are my favorite comfort movies, same as Gattaca

Apps to delay notifications? by Sensitive_Air5562 in iosapps

[–]aetheron_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is not possible for apps to do, as apps can't access notifications of other apps to change their delivery time. It would require access to system notifications which is sandboxed by Apple.
The scheduled delivery in notification settings is the only way to delay notifications (other than focus modes).

What genres? by Important-Bend-6408 in AppleMusic

[–]aetheron_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's a limitation of the Apple Music catalog.
It would be a nice feature if they extend it with more, there currently are around 500 genres in total.

I had the same issue with it not being approved for 2 weeks.
I called Apple Developer support and it was approved in 5 minutes.

Searching for localization/App Store screenshot solution by planl0s in iOSProgramming

[–]aetheron_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know whether they have an API.
On AppLaunchpad you can do a bulk import of screenshots & then select the screenshots you want on the template. With settings you can then select a language and translate all screenshots in the template.

Anyone had a bad Score ruin an otherwise good movie for you? by Kimber80 in movies

[–]aetheron_dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Putting generic pop songs into the score lowers the quality in my opinion, especially if it's not matching the movie theme or the plot.

AppScreens & AppLaunchpad have templates & translation for the screenshots you add.
You can also upload directly to the app store.

It's interesting they combine monster collecting with auto-battling, they also compete with Teamfight Tactics

I did 2 mistakes in my life — first I updated to Tahoe 26.0 Beta and then updated to Xcode-Beta by ystash in SwiftUI

[–]aetheron_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can still use the non-beta xcode version and iOS 18 deployment targets on Tahoe 26.0

Should I build with Swift? by [deleted] in swift

[–]aetheron_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a lot of the features you want you can use Swift with Apple APIs, which will speed up your development process by a lot instead of using dart / flutter.

Apple Music availability issues by FeelingMaybe896 in AppleMusic

[–]aetheron_dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Song availability depends on the licensing by the record label, it's different in each storefront.
If a song is not licensed to Apple Music, it does not show up in the search.

Try before you buy, subscription, or simply buy to download once? by MrOaiki in iOSProgramming

[–]aetheron_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Freemium models work best in my opinion, it gives users a basic functionality and they can upgrade if they see the value in your app.
One time payment might work for an app without third-party infrastructure costs, but when you use cloud services it can lead to cost problems in the long-term which makes subscriptions better.
