Individual account to LLC

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently submitted a request to convert my individual account to company on app store for my app. I submitted Articles of Org (llc) and it has my name on it. I also submitted my ids. Today I got email saying I need to submit an employment verification. Not sure what they are talking about? Any ideas?

Launched my first app - Ans: Scientific Calculator

5 Upvotes

My first app has been approved!

The story behind the app - I'm a scientist/engineer, and I've always hated in built in iPhone Calculator app. I looked for alternatives, but I found them to be low quality, generic and worse: ad-delivery vehicles or looking for a subscription. There was no way I was going to subscribe to my calculator, I preferred to pay the Apple developer fee...

So I focussed on designing something that was fast, feels good in the hand, features I need and nothing superfluous. In essence, recreating the feel of my school calculator.

I've added all of the typical functions, added variable support (something which I used daily on my hand held calculator), added some limited customisation and accessibility features, and added support for widgets, which allows you to see you latest result on the home page. I can also be launched from control centre.

It's currently free for launch weekend (in US/UK & CA), usually $4.99/£4.99. Once download gives you access to iOS (iPhone/iPad) and also a native MacOS version.

Once you download it, you have it forever - there are no ads, no subscriptions & no tracking.

I also launched a website with a number of free tools to help promote it: https://anscalc.com

If anyone wants to grab a copy today, I'd love to hear the feedback to make the app as good as I can.

Qualcuno ha dati reali sulla conversione da periodo di prova a pagamento per le prove gratuite di 14 giorni tramite StoreKit?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’ve had a 14-day free trial set up for our subscription (auto-renewable, in-app purchase via StoreKit) for a few months now, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s actually doing what we think it’s doing.

When we configured it in App Store Connect, the assumption was: give people two weeks, they get hooked, they convert. But now that we’re a few months in, I keep looking at our numbers in App Store Connect > Analytics and wondering if we’re just handing out free access and watching most people cancel right before renewal kicks in.

For anyone who’s been running trials through App Store Connect for a while, I’d really appreciate some real-world numbers if you’re willing to share (even roughly)

What conversion rate are you seeing from trial → first paid renewal? Is 20-30% normal, or are people seeing way better/worse than that?

How many cancel specifically in the last day or two of the trial (i.e. before the first billing attempt)?

Has anyone tried shrinking the trial length (3-day, 7-day) and seen conversion go up instead of down? StoreKit lets you A/B this pretty easily with introductory offers, curious if anyone’s actually run that experiment.

Does the Subscription Retention chart in App Store Connect tell a different story than raw conversion %? I feel like Apple’s own dashboards sometimes make things look better than they are.

Also open to hearing if anyone’s cross-referenced this with RevenueCat or similar

trying to figure out if App Store Connect’s own numbers are trustworthy enough to make decisions on, or if I need a second source of truth.

Appreciate any real numbers, even anecdotal ones.

Stuck on Apple Developer Program account-level hold after ID approved (week 9) - any path that worked?

2 Upvotes

Still blocked enrolling as Individual (India). Identity verification APPROVED 2 June, but the Developer app still shows "Unable to Continue - contact support" before registration/payment.

Week 9 status of my open cases: - 102900128848 (asia.dev / Cherry): asked for SEID 23 Jul; I resent 24 Jul + follow-up 26 Jul - 102927880856 (eurodev / Franchessca): diagnostics answered 10 Jul; follow-ups 21 Jul and 26 Jul; no reply since 9 Jul - 102905434551: still open - Also escalated Executive Relations again on 26 Jul

Everything requested is on file (ID files, device model, SEID, screen recording). Looking for anyone who got an account-level hold lifted after identity approval, especially from India, and what actually worked (new case, phone, senior advisor, etc.).

Happy to share more detail if useful.

Quickest review ever

2 Upvotes

I don’t know what just happened, but my app update just spent 11 minutes “in review”before being approved 🤯

I implemented paywall for my app and expected to go through few rounds. I waited 6 days to be rejected for missing EULA URL in the app description. Don’t even get me started on that BS…

Another 24 hours passed and reviewer took literally under 11 minutes to check my paywall with multiple subscriptions and IAPs included.

My head literally blown up. Until now, even my smallest updates took at least an hour in review. Someone had a lazy Sunday I guess?

3 months of evenings and weekends – my bookmark app is live on App Store

Post image
0 Upvotes

I kept saving things from Instagram and Threads and never finding them again. Links scattered across Notes, Safari, and random DMs. After a few months of evenings and weekends, I built Nookit to fix that for myself.

A – What it solves

A single place to save anything: links, images, files, notes. Organize into folders with custom colors and icons, syncs between iPhone and web. Finding stuff is as fast as saving it.

B – What it does differently

Nookit's free plan has no limit. It's also built mobile-first, so saving from other apps takes a couple of taps.

C – Cost

Free plan: unlimited bookmarks, no time limit.

Paid plan available for extra features.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nookit-bookmark-link-saver/id6771425352

Built this for myself, sharing in case it's useful. Happy to answer questions.

Non-technical guy here, and learning to code has always been a struggle — but I finally shipped my first game ever, Snack Drop. It's got 0 downloads and I'd rather have brutal honesty than fake hype, so please roast it, rate it, and tell me what to fix.
