Fight with Apple review - Day in the Life of an iOS Developer

[@thomaswahahauw560]

Installed the app, added a habbit to wake up and immediately go out of bed 😂

[@AivarsMeijers]

Great! Let's crush 2023!

[@luke-urban]

Loved the vibe on this video man! 🎉🎉 gosh, I am so far behind my upload schedule, I don’t know how you manage that. 😅 Hopefully, my new „second brain” thing will help this year

[@AivarsMeijers]

I think I should thank my bad sleeping habits mostly :D

Hi , I 've been wanting to ask about your tattoo for a long time , and in what style is it made and what kind of drawing is there , it 's not always possible to clearly see it on the video , it 's done very beautifully and will you fill more in the future ?

[@AivarsMeijers]

Tattoo sleave is custom, left hand is about travel and underwater life. Diving, sea life, palms, and mountains. Right hand is work in progress, that will more related to work stuff.

[@roseliux]

can you share the writing course you are taking and if is a good one? thanks!

[@AivarsMeijers]

I jumped into Ship 30 for 30 writing training: ship.samcart.com/referral/PXfswEHj/LzZZFzmF4zmqcRt9

[@ganchclub]

Congrats on the app approval! Keep up the good work!

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thank you! Will do!

[@fynn3102]

Not sure if you mentioned it, but how is the app called?

[@AivarsMeijers]

Check the link in the description, it is Small Habits app

[@svyberg]

bro great video, I had similar issue, and they rejected. I start asking what was the reason and then they approve it :) wish u great success

[@AivarsMeijers]

Yep, that happens relatively often. In my experience at least half of rejections are false positive. Sometimes it is enough to submit another build with close to nothing changes.

[@TylerDurden-es9iy]

Nice vid. What is your marketing strategy for this new app, to acquire traffic?

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thanks! You just watched one peace of the marketing ;) I'm planing to keep doing monthly challenges and that will allow to plug in the app. I have decent following on other socials, that may help/ I do not plan to trow money into marketing, that niche is not lucrative anyways.

[@ramfamilynzvlogs2775]

Nice video Aivars. Any videos about getting started with freelance and indie app development. Thanks

[@AivarsMeijers]

I have a freelance video playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLlDKWZ2OLI-qHtpEnpneYtVKUTM8Freq5

[@ShredzZ]

Hey, from freelancer perspective do you think learning ui kit is still viable or it’s better to focus on swift ui as freelancer?

[@AivarsMeijers]

I would focus on SwiftUI. If you are building MVP projects for small business they rarely care what stack do you use + SwiftUI is future anyways.

[@knightthompson2938]

Wow, I love to see the process.

[@hrlrl9309]

Whatever you do, don't build a dating app. I spent 3 months building it and they threatened to ban my developer account. They are protecting Tinder (one of their highest paying apps) in my opinion.

[@hazelv998]

What was their reason?

[@AivarsMeijers]

I was solo developer for Antiland 3+ years. That app has some adult chat and dating touch as well, so I know what you are talking about and never will do project like that by myself. Moderation and attention from Apple was huge pain.

[@leoingson]

Thanks for all the appstore infos Aivars! You could go with resolution (height?) instead of all those devices + dependency on a plugin, more longterm solution? Installed. Would wish for Mo-Su week (starts with Sunday), maybe read my locals (default Mo-Sun for Germany)? Feedback form is too complicated :) That's why I feedback here. Maybe you could read appstoreID for email?

[@mgn2949]

Excellent outcome! Happy for you, rewarding. 👍👋

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thank you!

[@hassankhosrowshahi2502]

Hi Aivars, I want to Download your App , But It's doesn't work on IOS 15 | Could you please setting up for Support oldest version of IOS ???! THANK YOU

[@AivarsMeijers]

Hi, I'm sorry, but that's my approach for new apps go with latest main version as minimum to be able to use all the new features of iOS

[@giogio9854]

Nice video Aivars, like to see more of those! :)

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thanks! Will do!

[@PerpetualPreponderer]

What is the process of earning revenue with this type of app? It is free app, right?

[@richardalbury]

Nice app, Aivars! Congratulations!

[@AivarsMeijers]

Thank you. Richard!

[@cHyNNNNNNNNNN]

How old are you my friend and when did you start coding? I'm thinking about pursuing this career path.

[@AivarsMeijers]

I'm 47 and started programming professionally in my late 30s. Very late, since 2016, do the math :)

[@eduardofrancescobruno7387]

Good video 👌, your country has changed a lot (for good I believe) since the Soviet Union occupation. The app looks nice, I will give it a try. Greetings from Spain! 👋

[@AivarsMeijers]

Yes, you are right. We are out of that madness for many years already. Thanks!

Thank you! 😃

[@Rex88282]

One question please ! Is coding difficult ? Is more difficult than being a doctor ?

[@AivarsMeijers]

Nope, it is not hard. Beginning is hard, first year or two are very hard, then it becomes way easier

Reminder time toggle- it’s spelled “reminder” not “remainder” Just a quick heads up🫡 Awesome vid

[@AivarsMeijers]

Oh! Many thanks for this, will fix asap.

Ah, I was confused :)
