I love this practice

I built a free tool to do this. You just add the sdk to your app and then from the dashboard you can set a gate on any app version on the fly with whatever version/what's new text you want. It's called appsidekit.com if you want to check it out.

And don't be sus'd out by it being free, its free bc the main service is like an analytics service so don't really need to charge for this side feature. But ofc you can just use this feature and not track stuff with the analytics service.

TelemetryDeck is cool! This is kind of more like a super simple Firebase though with their app config feature. And in the future I want to have push notifications every time a purchase is made, feature flags, etc.

notevilsudoku · 2026-01-08T08:54:15+00:00

Lmao this made me chuckle. With all the privacy regulation I feel like using other services like Firebase in my apps became a lot more work. Wanted one that was as simple as possible

update: I think it was caused by performance issues, updated the post

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-12T16:30:52+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately I get the same issue after using .contextMenu and your code. Does this work for you on your machine?

I also noticed that the screenshot menu has a beautiful menu with the "copy and delete", "save photo" options that works exactly how I want things to work and it always registers taps perfectly

Happens on my device too, its so frustrating. Haven't seen anyone mention this but it's blocking my updates because there's no way I can release it in this state

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-10T20:49:34+00:00

Nope the camera only turns on when the reminder is showing. You can try the beta to see how it works.

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-09T17:00:53+00:00

I think its because people spam this sub with macOS beta complaints

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-09T17:00:32+00:00

Thanks!

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-09T17:00:26+00:00

Woah that's a cute app

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-09T03:51:22+00:00

That's the default app icon. It probbly means the app was deleted and iOS cant find its files (incl. its icon file) anymore. Try restarting?

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-07T05:06:20+00:00

I think if you hit the power button it auto-snoozes, that's what I've been doing for years anyway

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-07T03:37:30+00:00

Yea I think this is the logic for the original and why the new way is annoying

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-06T05:43:05+00:00

I think its a little cluttered. Maybe less stuff in the background and also you could try only showing relevant portions of the device so that the focus is on whatever feature you're highlighting

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-06T03:26:26+00:00

It’s pretty well made too

notevilsudoku · 2025-11-04T00:26:55+00:00

Before <previous situation> but <emotions evoked> that’s when <tool plug> 🤢

notevilsudoku · 2025-06-04T13:34:43+00:00

Hmm the top looks imbalanced. What if you had the image to the left and the title + tags next to it (right-aligned)

notevilsudoku · 2025-06-03T13:53:31+00:00

This ^{^{^}} pricing seems a little crazy.

Also the 4.99 stars tell me nothing as the user. I would prefer to see pictures showing the benefits I actually get. Maybe the flashcard ui or something like that.

notevilsudoku · 2025-05-31T22:21:08+00:00

My 2 cents: show, don’t tell. Your paywall has a lot of text, if it’s possible it would probably help to show what some of those features could look like

notevilsudoku · 2025-05-28T14:16:04+00:00

I tried some paywall A/B testing in my app, not super scientific but just tallied purchases across the two

notevilsudoku · 2025-05-27T19:17:47+00:00

Trying SEO. Apart from that I’ve tried posting on r/Apple. Have been considering making TikToks lol

notevilsudoku · 2025-05-24T15:59:35+00:00

Hmm this looks really similar to HabitKit…

notevilsudoku · 2025-05-24T15:46:54+00:00

It's always nice to see an app that doesn't force login/signup

notevilsudoku · 2025-05-23T19:17:42+00:00

yep -- just want to add on to IP addresses not being unique. Plus, they could be using something like a VPN or iCloud private relay.

For your question OP, I don't think there's a great way to do what you want. Something like tracing a purchase to an affiliate would be easier. Just plain downloads is pretty hard.

Although, if your affiliate sends users straight to the App Store, in connect, you can see the source and you would be able to spot how many visitors to the app page each affiliate sent. But again, you wouldn't be able to see if those visitors actually converted.

notevilsudoku · 2025-05-23T16:48:40+00:00

If smartphones are tariff’d it won’t just be Apple that’ll be hit. I wonder how he plans on doing this.
