Phil Chung - Climbing the App Store Charts is Easy. Making Money
is Another Story

"So the question becomes whether the pay off will more than offset the
up front cost. For large publishers that already have brand awareness
and staying power, this is a great jumping off point. For the majority of
others, it seems that profitability using this service is an uphill battle."

people tweeting their latest review times using the #iosreviewtime or
#macreviewtime hash tags on Twitter."

medium.com - The Broken App Store

"A friend and I built twindr as a (derpy) joke project, and it somehow blew
up. The “Tinder for unfollowing Twitter profiles” hit number 1 on ProductHunt,
was featured on Gizmodo, The Daily Dot, LifeHacker, and a bunch of other
websites. Despite all of that, the one thing I learned from Twindr’s success is
how broken the App Store is. More specifically, I learned how broken the app
rating system is."

apple - App Thinning (iOS, tvOS, watchOS), Bitcode, ...

"For iOS apps, bitcode is the default, but optional. For watchOS and tvOS
apps, bitcode is required. If you provide bitcode, all apps and frameworks in
the app bundle (all targets in the project) need to include bitcode."

getonthestore.com - Private app distribution through the App Store

"With private distribution, your app doesn't appear on the public iOS App
Store. Instead, you get an unlimited number of redemption links that you
can give your users. These links allow them to download your app through
the App Store."

getonthestore.com - What do users see when you drop support for an older version of iOS?

"In this article, I show you the experience users on older versions of iOS get
when you release an app update that drops support for their version of iOS. I
provide screenshots of the App Store product page for an app that has dropped
support for iOS 13. I also cover some other situations and exceptions you may
run into when increasing the minimum iOS version required to run your app."

r - Business apps and licensing

"Apple is likely to "encourage" you to move them to either unlisted apps
https://developer.apple.com/support/unlisted-app-distribution/ or custom
apps https://developer.apple.com/custom-apps/."

fastlane - fastlane screenshots for iOS and tvOS

"Your App Store screenshots are probably the most important thing when
it comes to convincing potential users to download or purchase your app.
Unfortunately, many apps don't do screenshots well. This is often because
taking screenshots of your app and then preparing them for display is time
consuming, and it's hard to get everything right and consistent!

fastlane tools can automate this process making it fast, and consistent while
giving you beautiful results!"

apple - Complying with Encryption Export Regulations

"When you submit your app to TestFlight or the App Store, you upload your
app to a server in the United States. If you distribute your app outside the
U.S. or Canada, your app is subject to U.S. export laws, regardless of where
your legal entity is based. If your app uses, accesses, contains, implements,
or incorporates encryption, this is considered an export of encryption software,
which means your app is subject to U.S. export compliance requirements, as
well as the import compliance requirements of the countries where you
distribute your app."

"I was so sick of having to login to App Store Connect for the hundredth time
that I decided to start working on a macOS app that would help me update
my apps more easily."

r - Maximize Your AppStore Success: Two Underutilized Apple Programs for Indies

"To streamline the process and make it more effective, I created a Notion page
specifically for the promotion team. On this page, I added images and detailed
feature descriptions of what would be new in each update. I also made sure to
highlight which of Apple's new features I had implemented (like WidgetKit,
HealthKit, ...). This organized approach seemed to make our communication
much more efficient."
