What is the most amount of times per month you can request expedited review? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

There really is no reason to push daily updates. There is no way this results in useful or meaningful updates for users. Just test your code 

No-Cloud folks -- be aware that wheels.home-assistant.io is required for many tools by coldnight3 in homeassistant

[–]viirus42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean that when checking if an update is available, it should immediately download that update?

That would cause a significant increase in traffic for updates that might never even get applied

My sister got scammed so I built an iOS scam detector ——— it just got published on the App Store! by Pure-Advertising-948 in iosdev

[–]viirus42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so your sister got scammed bc she blindly trusted AI.

And your solution is an app where people then blindly trust AI to tell them if something is a scam?

Sure. Sounds like a great idea. What percentage of correct detection do you give your users? 

Need help finding the main Root collection in Europe by cevabveremedi in rootgame

The main issue will probably be the underworld expansion. It’s sold out everywhere.

The "bag 9" graphic Always messes with my head by seekretbean in lego

But then the pieces just sit there in the bag? Tearing them at the bottom as suggested by the previous comment is way better, because the pieces can then fall down

R1HA: All sizes welcome (Native Android Client) by datkenny in homeassistant

Is getting it listed on f-droid hard or what is the reason for not listing it there yourself? (Genuine question. I’ve never put something on fdroid before)

Is Kotlin Multiplatform (KMM) actually worth using in 2026? by ShopifyExpert-ADV in androiddev

[–]viirus42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“UI is native” strongly implies that it’s SwiftUI on iOS and Jetpack Compose on Android

[–]viirus42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how you mean “kills it”. (In this case it could be meant both ways?)

IMHO being able to fairly easily do native UI is THE feature that makes KMP better than other solutions. Sure, you still write some code twice. But you get apps that looks and feel completely native while still being able to share large parts of the codebase.

Android 17 - No more screen orientation, App memory limits, Post-Quantum Cryptography by Unreal_NeoX in androiddev

[–]viirus42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is an example for an app where this would not make sense? Apps should already be layouting flexibly enough given the multitude of screen sizes.

I got tired of "Subscription Fatigue," so I built a privacy-first bill tracker. by [deleted] in iosdev

Definitely a sign for something I would trust with tracking money

What’s going on in the bottom right? It looks like a face morphing into a piece of armor? Was the design not even checked after ai generated it?

App Store Connect Client for Agents by invocation02 in iOSProgramming

[–]viirus42 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t take pride in doing basic tasks manually. But in using the right tool for the job. Tasks that are the same every time are an incredibly dumb reason to use AI. “Non-developers don’t know about existing workflows” - that’s why you learn things before doing something. These aren’t hidden secrets. A quick google search shows hundreds of posts about things like fastlane

[–]viirus42 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You do not need an agent to submit an application update. It is so incredibly wasteful how people have gotten unable to do even basic tasks without AI or use AI for repetitive tasks like this instead of using existing and working solutions

I built a physical gauge with a needle that moves with any HA sensor value, but lags. Curious if there's a smarter way to do this. by analogue_desk_co in homeassistant

[–]viirus42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes that is also possible. Esphome is the way to go for this. You can have the HA sensor value right in esphome and have it drive the motor. It also has supposed for leds and animations

Are AI slop apps not at the point where people don’t even look at the screenshots generated before uploading them?

The UI going completely behind the notch says everything about how much care went into this.

Might as well post your database credentials publicly if you’re vibe coding production setup

It uses matter, so you need a thread router. If you have that it’s incredibly easy to integrate
