I've completed #100DaysOfCode, minimum 2 hrs/day! 3 months ago,I was a total beginner with only basic Java knowledge. Now, I'm feeling confident, but I know I still have a long way to go. Thanks to everyone who's supported me along the way. Your encouragement means the world!😊😊

-> new social accounts banned in a 1 hour
-> new reddit account instantly suspended

Day 202 / rejected the app again

-> same ipad edg case with the share button
-> got tired of fighting it, so i completely deleted the share button and pushed to review

started refactoring the ios structural architecture for the 4th app right after
everything is currently broken

[Hetvik Asari @hetvik_]

Day 201 / My app finally indexed

but doesn't show up anywhere in its niche category yet.

getting an app to survive on ios is a completely different game.

what’s the most specific edge case apple has ever caught you on?

[Hetvik Asari @hetvik_]

-> app froze right after onboarding
-> apple's qa team somehow found the literal only edge case in the code
-> play store didn't even bother to check,

but apple breaks it immediately

[Hetvik Asari @hetvik_]

day 201 / indexed but invisible.

the new app doesn't show up anywhere in its niche category yet.

spent the day aggressively texting friends begging for 5-star reviews to wake up the app store algorithm.
to make things better, my other app got rejected

[Hetvik Asari @hetvik_]

dropped out from BTech in tier 2 college.

Reached -> $22 MRR -> after android 15% cut $200 revenue -> launched on iOS today -> goal $1000 revenue next month

What you think I'm i overestimating ????

[Hetvik Asari @hetvik_]

Apple review team definitely has a personal vendetta against me.

Launch a new version?
-> ghosted by search index.
try to test notifications?
-> blocked by a single typo in a certificate.

i am fighting for my life in these apple trenches man 💀🍏

Day 200 / invisible on the store

hit the live button 24 hrs ago.
app store still hasn't indexed.

he rest of the day was pure chaos:
-> added a rating screen to onboarding
-> fought off a policy rejection for the other app
-> spent the whole day debugging ios notifications

10% coding, 90% fighting typos in apple certificates.

after an entire day of pure chaos and debugging ios notifications, the test finally hit the lock screen 😭🍏

the dopamine is back. back to the grind 🚀
