Day 16

Tired of waiting for the Family Controls entitlement approval 😅

Decided to launch the app without it first and validate the market early.

Currently setting up everything on App Store Connect 🚀

Do you think this is the right move?

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@dams9ix thank you bro 🙏🔥

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

finally, the app I’ve been working on is now listed on the App Store.

ever since the status changed to distribution, I kept checking the App Store over and over to see if it was already searchable 😭

just checked again… and finally saw it 😂📱

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@robj3d3 @MrTimRiggins appreciate that 🙌
i’d honestly love more content around indie app marketing and getting traction organically on TikTok and Reels

Day 22

currently pushing my app on TikTok & Instagram while also building a new app 👨‍💻

still wondering if there’s something more I should be doing to get more users for my latest app 😂
right now I really need more work, more traffic, and more people discovering it.

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@MrTimRiggins @robj3d3 same here 😂 getting users is honestly harder than building the app itself.
thanks for the recommendation

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@MrTimRiggins Mostly UGC right now. I’m testing emotional POV-style videos and reposting them across TikTok and Reels to see what performs best for installs.

Do you know any good strategies around this space? Always curious to learn what’s working for other people 👀

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@ChoppyToast thank you 😂 review took around 5 days

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@oultimobuilder the struggle was real 😭

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@_JohnBuilds_ yeah, the waiting feels longer than building the app 😭

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

Day 21

The app still hasn’t appeared in App Store search yet ⏳
Usually it takes around 24 hours… sometimes longer.

Meanwhile, I’ve already been working on a new project for the past 5 days 👀✨

How long did your app take to appear in search?

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@dams9ix yes that's true

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

Yay 🎉

after getting rejected 4 times and almost giving up, the app I’ve been building finally got approved. all the revisions and long waiting finally paid off 🙌

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@saen_dev My app uses a barcode feature, and Apple requested sample barcodes for testing during the review process. After providing them, the app finally got approved.

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@saen_dev Thank you, that means a lot.
I definitely learned a lot about how App Store review works during this process 🙌

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

Day 20

Today I submitted version 5 after getting rejected 4 times by the App Store review team.

This is the most rejections I’ve ever received for an app submission. Exhausting, but definitely a learning experience.

Hopefully once it gets approved, a lot of users will love it

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@dams9ix not yet 😩

Day 18 & 19

forgot to post yesterday’s progress 😅

still waiting for an update on the App Store review after getting rejected 3 times.

but instead of waiting around, I already started building my next project and created social accounts for the app currently under review.

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@chuachonghuan true haha, thanks for the reminder. future-me will probably appreciate this a lot

[ardyansyahindieapp @ardyindieapp]

@chuachonghuan yeah, that’s actually really good advice.
i should start documenting these things now while everything is still fresh
