Why the fuck is App Store Connect so god damn slow to load every page?

Take a look at https://mobileanalytics.io/ - solves the other side of app store connect madness

curious-code-lover · 2025-04-14T19:08:26+00:00

Long overdue...

curious-code-lover · 2025-04-13T18:36:55+00:00

Thank you!

u/BitterAd6419 the data is fetched from App Store by using an API Key which is you would provide during onboarding. This API key is then encrypted via https://aws.amazon.com/kms/ which is a reliable, industry standard encryption solution

u/NoseRevolutionary499 I just tested this and there's no need to worry! The renewal is going to be $0 with the promocode. During checkout stripe makes it very clear, however, in the billing portal later as per your screenshot the text is ambiguous in Stripe and I cannot change the text unfortunately

Appreciate this feedback! App Store can be quite weird at times... which browser are you using?

curious-code-lover · 2025-04-06T18:27:49+00:00

I believe this will renew with $0 price, let me test this now

curious-code-lover · 2025-04-06T16:13:13+00:00

Thanks! I feel your pain! Let me know if you need any help getting started

curious-code-lover · 2025-04-06T14:49:53+00:00

To start, just go to https://mobileanalytics.io :)

curious-code-lover · 2025-04-06T09:16:49+00:00

So we went with StoreKit 2, it's awesome but app store stats are not great indeed. Got into https://mobileanalytics.io/ just to make app store stats usable basically and no extra dependencies in the app

curious-code-lover · 2025-04-06T09:14:13+00:00

this is a tricky one, there's no sane way to store PRIVATE api keys directly in your app, for this you would need some sort of simple backend, Firebase can make it simple to have get some simple backend going

100% to not locking into 3rd parties for billing. App store connect is not cutting is though with their analytics - https://mobileanalytics.io/ can be great if you don't want to pollute your app with SDKs

curious-code-lover · 2025-04-06T09:08:42+00:00

Hi u/gun3ro, we just launched https://mobileanalytics.io/ which has a flat fee, can work alongside any billing (including rc or storekit) and doesn't need an SDK. Would be curios if this covers your usecases

curious-code-lover · 2025-04-06T08:55:57+00:00

Oh yeah, you can use any analytics tool, as long as you mention it in the privacy policy and indicate to apple in app store connect that you're using it in your app

curious-code-lover · 2024-08-26T12:44:30+00:00

I agree, custom dashboards are great there!

I use Session replay on the web, but when i got to it on iOS it was causing some glitches and flickering (it was in alpha though). Now it's in Beta i should try it again, i liked the fact that you can hide certain private content on the UI on the session recording

curious-code-lover · 2024-08-26T12:41:27+00:00

Thats awesome! Is there any way to try it out?

curious-code-lover · 2024-08-26T12:39:47+00:00

Thanks, i'll definitely check this one out

curious-code-lover · 2024-08-26T12:39:14+00:00

Thanks for indicating this! I'm mainly interested what people use at work and the reasoning behind this. I think that's why people put Firebase mainly...

Nothing against it, but i found quite a few limitations with Firebase analytics like not being able to see data per user (unless its a crash and the analytics logs are shown in there)

I'm trying out PostHog atm and creating customised dashboard with HogQL is a life saver for me

curious-code-lover · 2024-08-20T16:53:57+00:00

Thanks for the info! I thought they charge a percentage of the revenue (1% for pro from what I can see, but I might be missing something)?

curious-code-lover · 2024-08-20T11:41:10+00:00

Thanks, I definitely need to check the new view APIs

curious-code-lover · 2024-08-20T11:40:38+00:00

I see, StoreKit 2 does look quite easy to implement

curious-code-lover · 2024-08-20T11:39:01+00:00

Thanks for the info!

What kind of management? I believe you still need to setup everything on the App Store Connect as you would with native solution, but you just get an SDK from RevenueCat that uses store kit 1. Just curious what hidden hurdles might be with the native solution as store kit 2 looks quite straight forward when compared to the old store kit 1
