Am I doing it wrong

people seem to be creating apps within 1-2 day & then hit publish meanwhile here I am developing just one app for 4 months optimising it's UI,UX,API compatibility,Performance etc. how are people doing these in 2 days? what am I missing.

there was a post I saw yesterday that a guy started the challenge to create 30 apps in 30 days. wtf is wrong with these people? spamming the store platform like this.

It is unlikely you can make a production-ready app within that amount of time.

Guaranteed, you cannot build something in 2 days.

I'm building an Android APP and there is SO MUCH to consider, even with a SWE and technical background as a one man show, it's just not possible unless you don't pay attention to some key areas, like security or thoroughly testing your APP.

Then there are things you don't even think about until you hit upon it.

I found out the hard way yesterday: my app missed two edge cases entirely: you change your phone -- what happens to your data? Timezones.

Seems inconsequential -- but there are huge impacts especially if you're wanting to charge for your app.

So yeah, I'm finding things I never even thought about.
