I assumed nobody liked the app enough to rate it. Then I read my own code.

The prompt only fired if the user had completed a session on 5 of the last 7 nights.

It's a snoring app. People try it for two nights.

I'd built a gate that could never open.

Half my App Store keywords did nothing for a year.

Apple indexes name + subtitle + keywords as ONE pool and auto-combines them.

Name: "NightSnore - Snore Recorder"
Subtitle: "Track Snoring & Sleep Quality"
Keywords: snore, recorder, snoring, tracker, sleep

All dead weight.

@frederickjames Ha, true. Screenshots are the one I keep re-learning — every submission surfaces a rule I'd never have guessed existed.

The bible version would be out of date by the time you hit publish.

@wokepadia The daily-prank format is a great hook — the reveal is the whole product.

Good luck in review. Mine's in the queue right now too; went free-with-unlock after five months as a paid app, so this one feels like a bigger coin flip than usual.

And when the check fails — no network, unverified receipt — grant the full version anyway.

The risk is asymmetric. Wrongly locking out someone who paid earns a 1-star review. Wrongly unlocking a free user costs one sale and fixes itself next launch.

Turning a paid iOS app free without screwing the people who already bought it.

They paid $2.99. They keep everything, forever, without lifting a finger.

StoreKit 2 gives you exactly one tool for this — and it has two traps in it.

[NightSnore @night_snore]

Trap #2: in Sandbox, TestFlight and Xcode it always returns "1.0".

Every tester looks like a legacy buyer, and you can never see your own paywall.

Guard on appTransaction.environment == .production, and ship a DEBUG toggle that forces the free tier.

What if you snore every night… and don’t even know it?I tested this and found out I snored for 2h 13m 😳Most people never hear themselves.

Snoring isn’t just noise. It can affect sleep quality more than you think.

Most people don’t know how loud they actually snore. Measure it before you ignore it.
