@hotdogsladies Me too. Just saw Bob Mould last April in LA. That man still has a LOT of energy
I need to cut out caffeine. It triggers too much anxiety when stressed. I love coffee, cappuccinos each morning. I haven’t found a good tasting smooth decaf. I know it’s highly subjective, has anyone found a decent decaf beans? For taste I like Canyon Coffee ‘Beachwood’ for example. I also find it’s hard to express thick coffee from decaf beans, the water flows through too quickly. So it’s not as rich and creamy. Maybe because oils are removed? Is there a decaf process that’s less destructive?
@chockenberry So frustrating. Btw I develop for android as well and beta build usually approved in hours
@chockenberry hmm. Didn’t even know that was something you could return. Just looked it up. Interesting. I can see its usefulness but feels a little dangerous too
Paywalls
Also.. Would be great if a stack had a visibility setting so it’s only visible when an introductory offer is avail. I want to show a timeline on trial but only if a trial is available. I know I can do that for text components but my timeline has icons etc. So ideally an entire stack could be dynamically shown in the intro offer state. I suppose I can make 2 paywalls but that adds complexity on my end. Thanks !
Oh and I like paywalls, just want them to be even better :)
Paywalls
(2/2)
3) Discounts - I have 6 token packs with diff amounts, larger packs are cheaper per token. Want to show discount % on larger packs similar to mo vs yr discount badge. Would need to be dynamic taking into account base pack price per token and num tokens in each larger pack
4) Buttons - ideally I want a button next to each to buy rather then selecting a pack and then hitting the one buy button. This is more a pref - one tap rather then a select option and tap
Paywalls
(1/2)
Overall great but limited w/my token consumables
1) Themeing - my app has several color themes, would be great to support dynamic colors ( paywalls in general ). There could be several ways to define this.
2) Quantity - Ideally I can define how many tokens are in each pack. So a quantity variable. Useful for displaying the amount and to keep it flexible.. my packs are named small med large … ideal the exact quantities can be variables that get passed to my app
@lucas I have a game where some of my buttons are close to the white bar. It’s a timed game and in the frenzy to beat the clock I keep tapping the white bar and launching the Apple intelligence ui. So I’d like to disable that tap to launch Apple intelligence within my app ideally. I haven’t found a way yet either
I’d like to hide the Apple intelligence white bar at the bottom of the screen when using my app. Is there a way to do that in Xcode?
@charliemchapman Loved the new Launched! Keep it up!
@spitfire unfortunately I’m not able to do that because of a technical bug. I’m sorry about that, I wanted to make that available
@matt1corey @spitfire Yes unfortunately Amazon pulled my api access :(
Sorry forgot about unlisting it
@danielpunkass ah very cool. I saw him play at collage at UCSB in 1988. Just him on a stool with his guitar
For those of you using my app DropScout.
Amazon has pulled my API access and the app is non-functional as a result. I’m looking for find a solution but the future doesn’t look good.
Apparently it’s against terms of service to track prices. There are other apps that do this so it’s a bit surprising. Apparently they’ve given other services permission and I’m trying to see if they will allow DropScout to do this.
😢
@rafa Just beautiful. Congrats!
I haven’t done any specific iOS 18 changes until today and that’s simply to create dark themed icons for my apps.
Curious if there are other ‘low bar’ updates I should be looking at before submitting as I haven’t had time this summer to look deeply. I have verified my apps work without modification on Xcode release candidate
I haven’t used Ai for code completion but wanted to build a product page for my app DropScout with a collection of the best deals my server is tracking.
I’m terrible at html code. Asked ChatGPT to build a web page as a grid of products with affiliate links. Probably saved me hours of work even though the code is small. Still tweaking it but this Ai thing might have a use!
