Back in 2020, I decided to revive my image editing app Mattebox (which I had pulled from the store in 2014). The previous version was written for iOS 7 (LOL) and was 100% Objective C, with a lot of custom UI. I left it all behind and got the dopamine rush of choosing File > New Project in Xcode. 😅

I literally started by defining a Color type with red, green and blue properties and then slowly built a photo and video editing app around it. Working with SwiftUI has been so much fun, and has allowed me to add a lot of custom UI, transitions and animations that I wouldn't have even attempted in UIKit & ObjC. Don't trust anyone who says that SwiftUI is only good for the basics, or that SwiftUI "isn't ready."

Anyway, check it out if you're looking for a photo & video editor. There are some fun iOS features in there, like an App Clip that allows users to try out an image filter without even installing the app.

Here's the link to Mattebox on the App Store

Hi there,

I'm curious about the game porting toolkit. What's your experience with it? How good, usable, and stable is it?

Also, I am wondering if it's gonna work for, let's say, an application that is built on top of OpenGL/Vulkan

Sorry if the questions are basic or too general; I am fairly new to it

Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m beyond thrilled to share something amazing with you all. Today, my first-ever app got accepted into the App Store! 🥳 For those who don’t know me, I’m a 35-year-old husband, father to a wonderful 1-year-old, and an English teacher. For years, I’ve dreamt of creating my own app that would simply help in tracking scores in family games, but life always seemed to get in the way. Finally, I decided it was time to take the leap. Earlier this year, I enrolled in college to study Software Engineering—I’m currently in my first semester—and started working towards this long-held dream.

After countless hours of learning, coding, and researching, I managed to create a simple app. It’s not fancy, but it’s mine, and seeing it live in the App Store feels like a huge milestone.

I’m incredibly grateful to Reddit and this amazing community for all the guidance and inspiration you’ve provided throughout my journey. Your posts, advice, and stories have kept me going when things felt overwhelming.

If you’d like to check out the app, it’s called Simple Scores and is available for just 99 cents. Here’s the link: https://apps.apple.com/app/simple-scores/id6738268966. Every download helps support my college and family expenses, but even if you just take a moment to share in my excitement, I’d be so thankful!

Dreams can come true, no matter your age or circumstances. This is just the beginning for me I believe, and I’m so excited to see where this journey will lead. Thank you all for being part of it!!

I am looking to create an app that would use this historical data, and I am wondering what other people use. Thanks.

I've done something similar with hands before, but in this case I didn't follow the movements and perspectives of the hands.

I also have experience with coreml, vision, realitykit, scenekit and arkit

Hi guys, I am constantly tracking my number of downloads and my analytics board is only showing up until the 11th.

I had to now integrate postHog to try and get more live data on my app analytics.

Has anyone had any similar issues and which tools are you using for app analytics thanks.

Hi, iOS devs, I’m developing an app in flutter could use your guidance as I assume some of you are more experienced than me.

My idea is to create an iOS app that lets users activate text recognition for real-time translation on any screen– this is an app for people who want to learn languages with more convenience. However after researching this I found it would be hard, but I still want to do it.

The flow would be: the user opens the app, activates screen scanning, selects a target language, and then when they switch to another app (e.g., TikTok), the app scans and translates visible text in real time.

However, I want to ensure that this process adheres to App Store privacy guidelines, especially around accessing screen content without compromising user privacy since I know apple is big on that.

Does anyone have experience with screen scanning apps or know of any methods (e.g., using ReplayKit or other tools) that would work within these privacy limitations? Any insights or advice on how best to approach this in a way that complies with iOS and App Store standards would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I use it myself and does small fixes if I find something not working optimally.

I am having Android development background and learning swift recently. My situation is that I am having different screen whose layout is maximum same only some minor changes but background swift code is very different.

In Android we can handle case easily using inheritance, I.e we write Java code foronec screen and in the next screens we inherit that first screen and all our common codes are reusable as well as same XML file is used also makes the code very clean.

In xcode, I only came through 2 options

1. either I create 2 screens in storyboard and make references to their seperate swift view controller files. Which make the code clean but increases duplicate screens in storyboard

2. either I use xib and write whole code in single swift file and based on the requirements hide or unhide view or do respective operations. This makes it reusable but makes code very messy.

Is there any good practice for the same?

I am a dev and have a project for app dev from a good friend. He has a web app on which he sells online services basically tax related services like tax filing and things like that.

I saw apple takes 30% commission on In app purchases.

Have three apps on AppStore and published multiple times, don't know how I managed to not set in "Waiting for Review". Started reading here on Reddit that review would only take just hours, and I normally have them reviewed within hours during working hours of San Francisco. Was just about to send an email or contact Apple.
Probably happened to other people than me?

Hi

Accidently created a new version with the wrong number but cant seem to be ablet to delete it and cant seem to add another. Can someone help?

https://preview.redd.it/ugpju8a88mzd1.png?width=249&format=png&auto=webp&s=7c2f4151b6bf6ec074a0fb76c68d368353de61be

So I uploaded a build to Testflight, I tested it and now I want to select it for my new app version. Unfortunately, the radio button for the selection is not working, nothing happens when I click on it.

My current app version is 2.8.4, the build uploaded on Testflight I want to use is 2.8.6. Is it the source of my problem? Should the Testflight build necessarily match the next iteration of the prod app version?

The Testflight build 2.8.5 is expired, I can't fix the missing compliance message for it, but I don't think it is the source of the problem.
