I was doing some market research for a few of my app ideas, and wow, I found so many similar apps to my ideas that I almost thought I was crazy. It put me in a bad mood since, for basically every idea I had, I found there were already tons of very good apps available in the App Store. The keyword research was also brutal. But then, in the evening, the MacStories Selects 2024 article came out, and I read it. I noticed that many of the apps featured on the list are part of saturated markets (like PDF scanner apps, save-for-later apps or movie tracker apps, etc.). This gave me hope that if my solution solves a real-world problem, I should still build it.

Hello, i know this is not apple support forum but i guess many of already have dev accounts or you already saw this kind of questions so you can help me. :) I signed up for the Apple Developer Program 15 days ago, but I haven’t received any updates on my enrollment. A few days ago, I attempted to sign up again and contacted support three days ago, but I still haven’t received a response. I initially enrolled via the web, but I’m unable to re-enroll through the Apple Developer app with this email. To troubleshoot, I created a new Apple ID, and from that new account, I can proceed with enrollment via the app. My question is, should I attempt to enroll with my new Apple ID? And if so, would I be at risk of being charged twice if my original account is eventually approved, resulting in two active subscriptions?

I'm starting 100 day challenge for content creation. Challenge is dumb simple, but hard. I already did it for a few weeks in October. Now I will push it to 100 days. So, here it is: Spend 100 minutes per day working on the content, do that for 100 days in a row. I wrote how to start in newsletter. In short, Start with comments, when you are ready spend 100 minutes per day creating content. 100 minutes per day should be enough to create One of those: - 1 Short form video - 1 Thread on X (Twitter) - Linkedin post - Redit Post Long form videos on YouTube are tricky. It's hardly posible to publish good daily YouTube video and still keep doing anything else. Do not become daily vloger, 1 video per week is enough. With 100 minutes per day it is possible to publish weekly video and still have spare time for posts on Twitter, Instagram or any other platform of the choice. This is what I will do for the next 100 days. Whish me a luck :) Are you in as well?

Hey devs! Two weeks ago, I launched my new app, ScubaPlan, on the App Store for iPhone and Apple Watch Ultra. It’s designed for recreational divers, with the goal of enabling dive planning and using that plan on the Apple Watch Ultra as a secondary dive computer. Although I’m still in the process of getting Apple’s (absurd) permission to access the depth sensors on the Apple Watch Ultra up to 40 meters (currently, I can only retrieve data up to 6 meters…), the initial version is already available with several features, including dive computer mode. I really don’t understand Apple’s stance on this—it just doesn’t make sense. I’m still optimizing the ASO and learning along the way, so any advice on that would be greatly appreciated. The design and development are 100% my own, and I’m currently in the process of replacing the app’s icon with a professional one. I like the current one, but it’s a bit too simple. On another note, I might soon be without client projects and am considering dedicating myself 100% to my own projects, starting with this one, and trying to generate income that way. Thank you so much! I’m really excited about the launch and hope you like it. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scuba-diving-plan/id6689517716

I need around 16 new subscribers to hit the target. I’ve got nine subscribers on a free trial at the moment. Usually, I get ~5 new trials per week. So, it should be doable. On the other hand, I’m starting to get a bit tired of marketing. I’ve come to the end of content creators to reach out to, posted on the major social media platforms, and promoted in other places. I’m not sure how much more I can do to increase traffic! Thank you all for your suggestions along the journey.
