Microsoft recently announced something rather interesting – a voluntary employee buyout. In short, if your age and tenure at the company add up to 70 or greater, you’re able to voluntarily leave the company, retire early, and receive a (likely) hefty payout. It’s a less hostile form of layoffs, and while I don’t think Apple would implement it for the same reasons as Microsoft, I think it could serve a unique purpose for transforming the company. more…05:20 pmWhat to expect from Apple's Q2 2026 earnings on April 30

But it didn’t. Minutes passed and nothing happened. There was no low battery indicator visible on the screen; the display was just black. It was like the phone was dead. It turns out this is a thing.

I am completely stuck on what should be the simplest part of the development process. I am trying to invite a standard Gmail account to my team as Customer Support so this person can access my apps in TestFlight. Whenever I add their account and send the invite, they receive the email, but the second […]05:01 pmI built my first iOS app 4 months ago. Here’s what I got wrong and what actually worked. | Reddit on iOS ProgrammingI built my first iOS app 4 months ago. Here’s what I got wrong and what actually worked.
January I launched Ban It, you quit your worst habit and compete with friends on a leaderboard. Swift, Firebase, solo build. I had no idea what I was doing with App Store optimization. Here's what I learned the hard way. First screenshot is everything. I had a busy home screen showing every feature at once. […]04:43 pmClaude Code & Agent Skill for making App Store Screenshots

Hi everyone! I’d like to share my new app, which is a simple, intuitive melody maker. It is aimed at everyone, regardless of music knowledge. Just tap, light up the grid, and start building melodies instantly. You can export it to use it for social media or as a custom ringtone. Hope you all have […]03:48 pmI built a clean screenshot design app called Screenshot Vault
I started it because making polished screenshots for apps, landing pages, and product posts was taking too long — and most tools felt either too complicated, too limited, or made for designers instead of builders. Screenshot Vault is built to make that process simpler, faster, and cleaner. Coming next: More templates and layout options More […]03:48 pmProwl: iOS app that automatically tracks your job applications
I built Prowl — a job application tracker for iOS that automatically syncs with your Gmail or Outlook inbox to detect and log job applications, interview requests, rejections, and offers. No manual entry needed. Why: I read that it often takes 100+ applications on average to land an offer. Keeping track of that manually in […]03:20 pmI built an app that lets you bet on your routine with your friends, winners shares the money. | Reddit on iOS ProgrammingI built an app that lets you bet on your routine with your friends, winners shares the money.
Last year, a friend and I made a bet, for every gym day I miss, I would have to pay him $20, and vice versa. A year later, I've now lost over 60 lbs and made money from him too. So I made it an app called STICK. It’s solo and/or with friends.

I was wondering if it would be possible to have my app send images/texts automatically to random contacts without the users actually have to press send. Rather scheduled. If not, is there a workaround? I know it's sus but its for a fun drinking game. Thanks for any help! 🙂 submitted by /u/Ammeme […]03:03 pmWhy are Claude agents in Xcode so much worse than Claude Code?
I revived an old iOS app I built 2 years ago. Claude agents in Xcode are slower, stupider, and miss all the cool CC features (/btw anyone…) The only upgrade was not having to screenshot the ux as the agent can screenshot the Canvas itself. Overall, still making majority of the updates in Claude Code […]02:50 pmMCP to appstore connect?

It’s been well over a year since Apple debuted its last entry-level iPad, powered by the A16 chipset.
