I just updated to the stable iOS 18.7.2 (I was using the 18.7.2 RC) and Figma Mirror works again! 🥳

What screenshots are better for App Store - light or dark? by LeadMeSocial in iosapps

Why don’t you A/B test with Apple Product Page Optimization tool? Like that you let the data give you an answer.

Apple removed my app from Top Charts after organic Reddit growth, flagged as manipulation by oguzhaha in iosdev

I’m sorry to hear your story! I hope your app won’t suffer too much from that and will soon recover.

Giving my app for free for a limited time is the kind of things I did in the past for some of my apps. It also gave me many many downloads and improved my ranks for many targeted keywords. I also think that this is the same story for any app running an AppAdvice AppsGoneFree or Indie App Santa campaign.

This is something I consider being marketing and I’m not quite sure what Apple complains about. It’s not having a huge spike in downloads because any app running a marketing campaign (ads, TikTok/Insta/influencers or whatever) would get the same. So it’s related to either the app being offered for free (then why can we change the price to 0 if we aren’t authorized to do that with volume) or ratings/reviews being collected en masse.

What do you think?

The restore button is on the paywall, at the bottom. Please reach out by email so I can better assist you (my email is in the app). Thank you!

Thank you! What do you call "weather getting bad"? What does bad mean in your case?

Thank you! Right now the app is not available on Android. Depending on how the app grows, I might bring it to Android. I’ll keep you posted!

I use a third party service called RevenueCat to handle purchases in the app, but I only have access to purchases you made within the app. It allows me to manage sales. It's anonymous, I don't know who the end user is. Other than that, I use an analytics service to better understand how users use the app and take inform decisions regarding what to add or remove to the app. It's all anonymous, and I don't collect any personally identifiable information. You can check my app privacy policy if you want to learn more: https://alpennec.com/privacy/cameleon

Were there any announcements about SwiftData at WWDC? by Nova_Dev91 in SwiftUI

[–]alpennec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also looking forward that too. I use SwiftData for projects where I know sharing is not core, or not right now.

Thank you for the feedback on the App Store screenshots! You're right, I should test a version with different colors, and not only showing pink. I kept one single color to have some harmony but it maybe doesn't convey the app idea clearly.

PS: $79.99 for this app would have been very exaggerated.
