So far my experience with the iOS 27 update and the new Xcode update is terrible! I can’t even open local files with cursor anymore. I can only use the cloud.

@cesaralvarezll Stop selling to Europe without lifetime. I made way more money by offering lifetime in Europe, especially Germany.

I just use @ElevenLabs for the first time for my app update. Holy cow it’s awesome.👏

@unusual_whales Minority report

@nandoprince93 Only problem is Apple Watch are terrible to sleep in.

Currently running an App Store page screen shot test..my treatment has 120% increase in conversion so far…3% to over 8% conversion

@david_attisaas Now France’s turn

[AndyOz @andy_austin_dev]

@david_attisaas The question is is he actually making money with these?

[AndyOz @andy_austin_dev]

@loverofapps @nickjsheriff I’m putting one last effort into an overlooked app. After my update I’m at 88.9% tap → install conversion. Hoping it finally works or I’m thinking of finally stopping

I’ve recently stopped all Apple search ads and solely have been focusing on social media on TikTok I’ve noticed once I cracked 1000 new followers. My downloads velocity has gone way up since I’m able to add a link to my bio and my conversion rate over the last few days has been around 20% much better than ASA, which was round 3%.

@david_attisaas Dude got called out and semi owned up. Not sure about the claim of shipping wrong version but hey🤷‍♂️

[AndyOz @andy_austin_dev]

@pcshipp Probably an issue of presentation of value. Might not be selling the app correctly or you’re giving away too much free things that users do find the need to pay

[AndyOz @andy_austin_dev]

@FalkTG Yeah, minus all the taxes. Also, 90% of all Germans take-home less than €3000 per month

[AndyOz @andy_austin_dev]

@amansaini_11 Honestly, just look at your top three competition see what they’re charging and what kind of offers they’re making and do what they’re doing.

[AndyOz @andy_austin_dev]

@viticci No, this is pretty much for everyone submitting new apps I only ever use App Store Connect to submit my app and app updates. My last two new apps submitted I’ve had to do all this so this is not just for CLI submitted apps

Follow up:

US citizens living & working abroad:
If you qualify (mostly outside the US), you can exclude the first ~$130k–$133k of foreign salary/self-employment income from US tax.
It’s an exclusion, not a credit.
Only earned income.
Still must file a return.
2025: $130k | 2026: $132.9k

[AndyOz @andy_austin_dev]

@levelsio Well, the US has global tax if you spend more than 300 days a year outside of America, you don’t pay tax on the 100k you earn. So just stating the US has global tax it’s a little misleading.

@ShiinaBR Shit loot pool

[AndyOz @andy_austin_dev]

@AndreasInk Ouch..welcome to the new norm

[AndyOz @andy_austin_dev]

People should stop suggesting people use expired review to get their apps reviewed faster just because you don’t wanna wait for a normal review times.

Apple says expedited App Review is for “extenuating circumstances,” not simply because you want an update approved faster.
