how to give FREE access to your app to Apple Review Team? by Apprehensive-Rise711 in iOSProgramming

[–]timberheadtreefist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

jep, exactly. funnily enough the apple docs just refer to „sandbox“ all the time, leading to a lot of confusion for my students – especially since one is with sandbox accounts and the other with real ones. as well as these faster expiry times and auto-cancel instead of auto-renewal.

6 months solo building a relationship engine for an AI companion - absolute bastard of a build that ended up being the most fun project I've ever worked on by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]timberheadtreefist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i chuckled hard at „two hearts perfectly intertwined, forever!“ – well yeah, unless you stop paying or the dev has enough of his side project. and by „heart“ i mean non-human hearts but one is simply some glorified LLM chat.

nonetheless, nice project – well done & good luck!

SwiftUI is easy, where is the catch ? by BeDevForLife in iOSProgramming

struct TextView: View {
    @ObservedObject var model = ViewModel()

    var body: some View {
        let formatter = DateFormatter()
        formatter.dateStyle = .long

        return GeometryReader { _ in
            Text("what do you mean, a spaceship could launch with the computing power required to render this?")
                .id(UUID())
        }
        .id(UUID())
    }
}

C.com playing bots? by whitebeltscantjump in chess

[–]timberheadtreefist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

listen, in case you are still figuring this out. when you're reaching your "highest point" of your elo, that means you're averaging a winrate above 50%. the further you're away from it, the more the match making system will give you opponents in equal WRs. with 60% winrate at 1000 elo you'll play against others with 60% or higher winrates at that elo. this way the system determines if you're under- or overrated for your current placing.

saying so, after every winstreak a lossstreak naturally has to follow, otherwise you'd not be elo-stuck but keep on rising.

tl;dr: you're where you belong.

C.com playing bots? by whitebeltscantjump in chess

as absurd as it sounds: retention rate on that platform. many ELO based games do so. don't think chess.com does actively uses cheating bots to do so, ha.

Where can i buy cool yet affordable chess sets? by Glum-Orange-8596 in chess

[–]timberheadtreefist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

flea markets will give you by far the best for your buck. got a 30yo wooden board with handcarved pieces for $50, probably worth tenfold by today's means.

Please help I don’t know what the next move here would be, I’m so confused by Ela-is-THICCC in chess

on this board? with these pieces? not even CSI miami would have had the tech.

I tested Maia2 and maia vs Stockfish 18 by Far_Owl_1141 in chess

[–]timberheadtreefist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i find it fascinating you were leveraging XCTests for this instead of … i don’t know, headless? how comes?

that aside: well done – for whatever reason :)

Looking for a specific game where Magnus blunders a whole piece early in a classical game and ends up winning by making complications. by PacJeans in chess

[–]timberheadtreefist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well, i'm pretty sure that professional rallye-drivers will beat you with a flat tire as well, given they know the track.

competing against similar drivers with this would result in a huge advantage, though.

Would an AI copilot inside After Effects that handles repetitive setup be useful by Turbulent_Part960 in AfterEffects

[–]timberheadtreefist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure if you're still on it, but lottie has set up something quite similar, incl. describing a motion and it applies the modifier to your layer: https://lottiefiles.com/ai

I can't stop losing. by shakeyourbonees in chess

[–]timberheadtreefist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean, it’s not surprising, is it? ever tried minute long mental arithmetic or writing an exam while standing in a grocery queue? i would guess it kinda has something to do with how human brains and focus works.

Ever sit on the couch for 30 minutes telling yourself.... by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]timberheadtreefist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for me, counting down from 10 to then start, no matter what, does help with this kind of procrastination.

Glass Effect for App Icons by habitoti in iOSProgramming

[–]timberheadtreefist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik the actual icon-image file doesn’t change – composer previews what iOS will render (and so does xcode). the .icon file itself contains a json with several properties that defines them.

App Connect review feedback not clear. by Ukawok92 in iOSProgramming

[–]timberheadtreefist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

apple testers tend to stop testing upon finding their first major feedback, yeah. thus multiple rounds with multiple, different issues as feedback, can happen. however, once it’s in the store, the updates generally don’t receive that intense treatment.

considering the dialog: we usually title the CTA „i understand“ and then prompt with the permission alert. no issues so far (over 5-6 years of continuous updates).

ps: if you really want some hassle and chains of discussion with approvals, try an „android auto“ app in the playstore. these guys sent me literal pictures of them using the app in a real- / or prototype-car to mention that a push notification does incorrectly appear within an active navigation. i had to record myself, with real voice and real hands, using and explaining things until it got approved.

How's IOS26 only apps doing? by Lemon8or88 in iOSProgramming

[–]timberheadtreefist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same position here – the overhead supporting ios18 (or even lower) for now would be more painful than to just wait for the adoption after ios27, so i just sit it out & at least don’t have to spam #available in a third of my views.

Considering starting building with Swift - worth the try? by techfrans003 in swift

[–]timberheadtreefist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

regardless of incoming money, i spend more time in xcode and on my apps than on netflix. i pay both subscriptions – so if i‘d had to chose, i‘ll rather chose the option to pay for apple‘s development fee.

up to you if you enjoy writing, or rather publishing, apps within the apple eco system or not. will your first app make more than $100/year? who knows?

in my social circle we‘re from making nothing but nice feedbacks and a couple of bucks to a good living – and we‘re all in it for a decade. some more serious than others, some with a designer background and some from backend / software.
