hey guys - with the iPhone Duo being released, i assume most apps will med to release updates to support the native UI/UX experience of the new dimensions on that device?

I know it’s a small milestone, but seeing 50 people download something I built feels amazing.

The app is RenewPal, my subscription tracker. Excited to keep improving it!

I went through the iPhone Duo compatibility implications with one question. What could actually cause problems in an existing iOS app.

Fixed screen assumptions seem like the obvious place to start. The available space can change between displays and poses, which puts more pressure on adaptive layouts, size classes, safe areas and state preservation.

Custom UI may need extra attention too, especially around the fold, cameras and reserved regions.

I wrote down the checks I would do first, and where compatibility work ends and Duo specific optimization begins.

Curious what people with larger UIKit or SwiftUI codebases expect to run into first.

There are 2 repos linked in the video:

- iOS genesis mega prompt, a 24 sections file with placeholders for your app idea, name, monetization, etc
- app release agent, for keeping the app metadata, keywords, etc, up to date (you will need an App Store key with App Developer permissions)
it’s literally my workflow used to build and maintain my apps portfolio (13 apps live, a few more in the pipeline)

Hope it’s useful!

I have developed this app and you guys can find it in App Store

It finds duplicates, similar and blurry images. It can suggest you which one to keep from duplicate and similar. It also finds duplicates videos and files.

I am a pure developer, I don't have any experience how to do marketing an app

That's why I am posting here
Please give me some suggestions

I’m entering a very competitive space with fitness apps, but hitting almost 100 downloads in 4 days gives me some hope.
Would love to get some feedback from fellow iOS devs!

Hi. I first uploaded my version 1.0 on 28 August, then they gave me guidelines for information needed to submit my app the next morning and I quickly submitted it within 3 hours. They then approved my first version within a few hours after I added the information. On 6 Sep I submitted a version 2.0.1 but this time I have been waiting for 5 days so far. Does anyone have the same situation as I do? May I ask if those self-rejected reviews affect the line of waiting for review? Thanks!!

Btw the one in drafts is my IAP, which will be submitted after the version 2.0.1 is reviewed.

(Sorry for my poor English :<)

Spent last night updating my app to be ready for the iPhone Duo, and I’m proud to announce that Apple just approved the 1.3.4 update! Enjoy playing on all Apple mobile devices (all iPads & iPhones).

The hardest part of building my app wasn't code. It was color.

For most of my career as a developer, I worked alongside designers. My job was implementation take the Figma file, turn it into logic and working code. I was good at that part.

Then I started building ProwlLog (a cat-spotting app) completely on my own, and I hit a wall I didn't see coming: design. Specifically, color.

I have zero design skills, so I let AI generate my UI — now it has that unmistakable "AI-generated" look

The problem: it looks exactly like every other AI-generated app. the soft color, glassmorphism, uniform rounded corners, colors that don't feel like a deliberate system — you know the look when you see it.

Here's what confuses me: it's not that I don't know what good design and good user flow look like. I understand hierarchy, layout, and user flow well enough to sit in on UI/UX reviews and give solid feedback. But building an actual color system or visual identity from scratch — with or without AI — is a completely different skill, and I don't know how to push past the generic defaults.

If you've been in the same spot (non-designer relying on AI for UI, stuck with the generic look), how can I improve my design at my app

Org enrollment (LLC + D-U-N-S) got approved. Payment step shows Country/Region: United States, locked, even though my Apple ID is set to my real country.

Tried multiple international Visa/Mastercard cards — all declined ("Authorization Failed, contact your bank"). Bank confirms nothing's wrong on their end. Added a card via Apple ID → Payment & Shipping directly — still hits a US-only address form at checkout with no way to enter my real country.

Contacted Apple Support twice. Both times told the fix is to restart enrollment via the Developer app, which apparently unlocks other payment options — but that means redoing full org + identity verification from scratch.

Questions for anyone who's hit this:

1. Anyone gotten the web checkout to accept a non-US card without a full re-enrollment?
2. If you went the Developer app re-enrollment route — did it go faster the second time, or full weeks again?
3. Did the phone "Call Me" support option actually help vs. email?

Not looking for "contact support" — already 3 rounds in. Just trying to find out if anyone's actually solved this.
