This is how DropMate looks on the App Store 🍎📲

Focused on making it clean, simple, and easy to use.
Would love your honest feedback 🙌

@vibeorigin_dev Thanks a lot! 🙌 Totally agree making the use cases clearer is something I’m working on.

Batch actions and quicker sharing are definitely on the roadmap. Appreciate the feedback!

Quick note 👇

If you’ve ever downloaded a file on iOS and couldn’t find it later… this is exactly why I built this 😅

Still improving it — so if you try it, tell me what’s missing or annoying 🙌

Your feedback will shape the next version 🚀

🚨 App Store build rules are changing

📅 From April 2026, Apple will require:
• Xcode 26
• iOS / iPadOS 26 SDK
(watchOS, tvOS, visionOS)

Older Xcode builds = rejected submissions.

This isn’t just an update it’s a shipping blocker if ignored.
Plan the upgrade early.

🚨 CocoaPods is retiring! 🍫📱

After 10+ years, Trunk goes read-only on Dec 2, 2026.

No new pods, no updates, apps keep working.

Swift Package Manager (SPM) is now faster, native, and Xcode‑built ✅

@paciosdev Happy birthday 🎂

[Damith Bandara @damith_ds]

If your AI prompt looks like a paragraph,
you’re doing too much.

Short prompt → clear output → happy users.

#SwiftUI #AIBuilder #BuildInPublic #MVP

Start with real data
Don’t guess what users need.

Feed your AI features with real examples.

The best AI apps are built from real usage, not theory.

#SwiftUI #AI #BuildInPublic #MVP

[Damith Bandara @damith_ds]

SwiftUI handles the view,
but AI is the brain.

Learn how it thinks prompts, tokens, and context.

That’s your real superpower. ⚡️

#AIBuilder #SwiftUI #iOS #MVP #BuildInPublic

[Damith Bandara @damith_ds]

AI behavior changes — your app shouldn’t break.

Add simple tests → protect your core flows.

Build with confidence. 🧱

#SwiftUI #iOSDev #BuildInPublic #MVP

[Damith Bandara @damith_ds]

Every AI feature should remove 1 pain point.
Not 5. Not 10. Just one.

That’s how users fall in love with your app. ❤️

#AI #UX #SwiftDev #BuildInPublic #MVP

[Damith Bandara @damith_ds]

Don’t waste 2 weeks on perfect UI.

Ship a working version → watch users → improve.

Real feedback > pretty buttons.

#MVP #SwiftUI #BuildInPublic

[Damith Bandara @damith_ds]

Most AI ideas start with a conversation.
If your feature can’t be explained in chat form,
it’s probably too complex.

#SwiftUI #ChatUI #AIUX #BuildInPublic #MVP

[Damith Bandara @damith_ds]

If you can solve it with a local model or API call,
don’t build a full backend.

Move fast → validate → scale later.
