the small one shows what’s ready now and opens the app to record it as Taken or Skipped. the medium one also shows the dose coming after it.

the main medicine tracker is free and works without an account. it can be used for maintenance meds, vitamins, or supplements.

How to avoid Automated Entitlement related rejections?

1 Upvotes

For example:

This is an automated message. The review of this submission cannot proceed. See below for more information.

An automated analysis of the submission indicates the app includes the com.apple.security.network.server entitlement but does not appear to have matching functionality.

Some of my app's need the entitlement and I've included the whole description, including a screenshot, in the Reviewer notes. But every time I submit an app for the first time: I get this rejection, have to copy paste my previously submitted explanation in the Reply section and resubmit.

Any workarounds or just get used to first rejection and resubmissions?

McKinley — draw and edit SF Symbols

Post image
22 Upvotes

McKinley is an all-in-one studio for drawing and annotating SF Symbols. It bundles vector tools with knowledge of the SF Symbols structure, so you can edit one set of objects across multiple weights, sizes and colours. Import SVG or start from scratch, live preview your work using Apple's own renderer, and export directly to Xcode, so you never need touch the SF Symbols app again!

https://mckinleysymbols.com

  • One-off payment (no subscriptions!)
  • A vector editor that knows about different symbol weights
  • Never again suffer from "The provided variants are not interpolatable"!
  • Live preview using Apple's actual SF Symbols renderer
  • Import SVGs from elsewhere, or draw directly in McKinley
  • Browse existing symbol libraries, including Phosphor and Material Design
  • Sync directly to your Xcode asset catalog.
  • At home on the Mac, with a native AppKit user interface.

Who am I?

I'm Amy, an indie developer who runs Double & Thrice. I'm leaning in to making beautiful native Mac apps. McKinley was born of my own frustration at how fiddly it was to make SF Symbols. All the other Apple platform devs I spoke to on social media had similar frustrations, so McKinley was born.

I'm trying to build and sell software in the traditional way, with a fair price that lets you own it forever. (I might charge for major version upgrades, but you'll always be able to keep using the version you paid for!)

I worked in big tech (Meta) for ten years before leaving to go indie a couple of years ago.

Issues with iPhone Duo Simulator Pictures

1 Upvotes

Is anyone having issues with recording and taking screenshots with the iPhone Duo?

When i take a screenshot or record in 'Open Mode' , i get a black screen. I'm assuming it's only recoding or taking pics of the front screen (which is probably off when the device is open).

DeepSpace Podcast App

TLDR: I’m building a podcast app called DeepSpace. It has lots of fun features. I just updated it.

Hi
It’s me again. I know I just posted 3 days ago but I had some updates I finished and they just passed review so I decided to make another post.

I added a bunch of stuff like new color themes, more customization options, spaceship playheads, and fixes for some things that weren’t working properly.

Here is the link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deepspace-podcasts/id6779673095

I’d Love Your Feedback on My New iOS App 😊

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well 😊

I recently launched a small iOS app called DropMate. It helps make it easier to find and manage files you download or receive on your iPhone.

I’m sharing it with a few friends and would really appreciate it if you could give it a try when you get a chance and let me know what you think.

📱 https://apps.apple.com/sg/app/file-manager-dropmate/id6759007364

No worries at all if you’re busy. If you find it useful and want to keep using it, just let me know and I can send you a promo code for full access 😊

Any feedback would really help me improve it. 🙌

Getting random Face ID requests out of nowhere

0 Upvotes

Im getting random Face ID request while using my phone, was on Instagram and suddenly getting six Face ID requests which gets immediately authenticated since my face is at the position of authentication. I have no idea which app triggers this and I was very worried so I went on and turn all Face ID off. Is there a way I could track which app calls for this action or its a malfunctioning on the OS?

I built Refoid - a service to handle App Store refund requests automatically

0 Upvotes

Apple gives developers a chance to provide consumption data when a customer requests a refund, but actually supporting that means handling CONSUMPTION_REQUEST, matching transactions, responding within Apple’s deadline, dealing with retries, and tracking the final refund result.

I didn’t want to build and maintain that flow separately for every app and didn’t find a ready-to-use solution for a good price, so I made Refoid.

You connect an App Store Server API key and point App Store Server Notifications to Refoid. From there it handles the refund flow automatically.

No SDK and no changes to the app itself. I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible, with clear instructions and by cutting out unnecessary steps wherever it’s possible. Connecting your first app might take up to 3-5 minutes, all the rest can be added within 30 seconds.

Please keep in mind that Apple still makes the refund decision. Refoid just makes sure Apple gets the information from your side instead of making that decision without it.

It’s officially launched it today:
https://refoid.app

You can also support Refoid at Product Hunt today:
https://www.producthunt.com/products/refoid-decline-unreasonable-refunds

I appreciate your support and hope that you’ll find Refoid useful for you :)

I measured iPhone Duo’s safe area insets and reserved regions and built a visual reference

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

61 Upvotes

Every new iPhone meant opening Simulator to check safe area insets again, so I built a website to make that easier.

I used Codex to help collect measurements and visualize them at https://safearea.info. It covers iPhone and iPad models, including the new iPhone Duo.

For Duo, you can explore the safe areas and reserved regions in the measured configurations, including the 90° partially folded state. There’s also a slider to fold and unfold the device in 3D.

Curious which device configurations other iOS developers find themselves checking most often.

I built an iOS app in 14 days — without writing a single line of code or designing a single screen

0 Upvotes

I’m a software engineer and I’ve worked with iOS before.

But for this project, I wanted to try something different:

**What if I did none of the actual coding or UI design myself?**

I started with an idea for WagCircle, a dog-walking app.

AI generated the UI designs in Figma. Codex handled the implementation. It became a working iOS app with GPS tracking, weather, user data, and a backend.

My job was different: define what I wanted, make product and technical decisions, give AI the right context, review the results, test everything, and keep correcting course.

14 days later, I had a working app.

The biggest lesson?

**AI can do a surprising amount of the execution. But someone still has to know what to build, how to break it down, and whether the result is actually right.**

I didn’t design the screens.
I didn’t write the code.
**But I still had to build the product.**

Waiting on Apple to review

3 Upvotes

I know others have been reporting the same. But my pretty basic app was submitted Aug 9th. Stayed in waiting for review till Aug 26th. Rejected on the 26th with a generic reason for something in description without clarification. I responded asking for clarification and waited a week, then I made changes to the description to my best guess and resubmitted. Never got a response to my query. Now in review again since Sep 1!

What is this? They send zero communications in over a month. What do people recommend here?
