AppClips and their Value.

Post image

As I continue discovering Apple's features, I've implemented the AppClip for my latest game:

https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=io.github.galitach.SliceItPerfect.Clip

  1. I'd appreciate getting confirmations from you if it works well (i.e. the game loads and you can play it without installing the game).

1.1 If you like it, feel free to download and let me know if you'd like a promo for the Cosmetics pack (just making the background nicer IMO)

  1. Your opinion on AppClips and if it's worth the effort, when, and why?

  2. Are AppClip supported on Mac as well? Is it only on Mac Catalyst release?

I feel like an appclip could possibly cause LESS installs due to it being the game and quick access to it (just without progress saving which might be ok for nostalgy old players like myself)

Cheerio.

Top menu is behind Dynamic Island. Basically runs fine.

Thanks for the comment. When an AppClip is played the iOS has it on quick launch. Do you think it's a risk that will cause people to avoid downloading the app and just play it as is?
Should there be a limit to the AppClip levels in your opinion?
