  I make ios apps and I don't have an IPhone Neither mac. This is how I do it: - made the app over @expo with claude code - set up my github actions (ci cd) to create android (adb) and ios builds (ipa) - they go directly to the internal testing track for android dev console and testfight in apple store connect - I rent a @MacinCloud for $30 to run ios emulator and make sure the app works for emulator - invited 2 friends to testflight - they report me bugs and I fix it I am stubborn enough not to buy an iPhone but spend money on ads. What are your app building challenges? #buildinpublic #mobileapps #testflight

  @JMW_BOYZ The problem is that in places like here we have voices and the absolute fraction of us that comment seem to think in one certain way. I love going to CeX and buying bags full of DvD's for a buck a pop. I picked up a PS1/PS3/XboxOG and have a mountain of old games that I used to play or want to play for mere fraction of the price. But those are brick and mortar with things like rent/employees/insurance/utilities. Massive overhead. The real truth is that it's pretty clear CeX gets the majority of their stuff for nothing or close to it, with a lot of 'new' stuff being overstock/damage from high street retail. Physical media has been dying for ages, and I get it. I have a massive amount in steam. When I had lost everything I physically owned it was so nice to login to steam, and still retain everything. The larger issue is that Valve is the outlyer, I don't think people would mind so much if it wasn't for megacorps like SONY who treat a 'sale' more like a decade rental. Even my Apple store stuff is mostly all gone now. Funny how people don't cry about that one.

  @lynn_jatau If it’s google play store , you’ll keep having these issues. Pay through Apple Store

  1/ Parents, we don’t have to choose between protecting our kids and protecting our privacy. Unrestricted smartphones should be treated like alcohol: 21 and older only. Nothing changes for adults. 2/ Here’s the part no one talks about: I cannot protect my child from what’s on their classmate’s phone. One unrestricted device and the whole group has access to the full adult internet. That’s the real problem we need to solve.3/ Privacy is the line between a person and a possession. A slave was property because someone else claimed the right to watch, record, control, permit, and deny his life. A free person requires privacy.4/ Some people say “if a liquor store can check an ID, so can the Apple Store.” That sounds simple… but it’s not the same thing. A liquor store checks you once, in person, for one item. Turning every app, website, and device into a permanent ID checkpoint creates a surveillance system for adults. That’s not protection — that’s control.5/ We all agree kids shouldn’t have unrestricted access to pornography, gambling, addictive feeds, and strangers. The easy fix is right in front of us: Stop handing children unrestricted adult-grade devices by default.6/ Make youth-safe electronics the standard for anyone under 21 — unless a parent is directly supervising. If a company wants its phone, app, or operating system in a child’s life, it should prove it belongs there. Adults keep buying and using whatever they want. No digital ID. No face scans. No adult internet passport.7/ This protects kids at the device level before they ever reach the adult internet. It keeps adults completely free. Privacy for grown-ups. Safety for kids. We can have both.8/ Parents — does this make sense? Drop a 🔥 if you agree we should protect children without forcing every adult to surrender their privacy. What’s the one thing that worries you most about kids and phones right now?

  @fiago7 Turning it into an Apple store is better than tearing it down!

  @poonamjourno @AppleSupport @Apple I'll recommend visiting the nearest Official Apple Store (if available in your city) If not, reach out to their international customer support from Apple official support iOS app Apple official customer care is top notch and it's very likely, all your issues will be resolved

  @Somniss Quality Indie games are the future. It's just super easy to make a prototype. Steam has to find a solution to this problem. Their market will turn into google play apple store at some point.

  Thanks to @Apple slow *** resolving on Apple Store issues, I have missed a limited time purchase. Taking 3 whole business days to resolve a purchase out of registered Apple Storeregion issue in 2026. As if people can't migrate overseas while using the same store is insane.

  @Ro_Exotic @SmallEyez @markgurman I’ve only used the Apple care with the IUP once, and the Apple Store tried dicking me around by saying damage wasn’t covered. Demanded ~$400 to fix. I raised hell until they realized policy literally says $99 deductible.

  Apple support has gone down the gutter. AppleCare+ doesn't help either. Waste of money My airpod pro 3 has a hardware defect where the right pod inner hardware starts to shuffle on long runs They denied my warranty claim because their 'test' didn't detect anything in a stationary environment I had an appt at the Apple Store scheduled but it took 30 mins to chat with someone. Another 30 minutes to chat with a manager All for them to say they can't help and that their test was rigorous enough to simulate my 'long run' use case. Sure I could've sworn that their Support used to be much better! Maybe it's location dependent

  Swap 2: The $50 Apple Store screen protector installation replaced with an $8 Amazon 3-pack. He'd walked into the Apple Store 3 times across 3 iPhones and paid for their screen protector installation. $50 each time. An employee cleaned the screen, applied the protector using an alignment tool, and pressed out the bubbles. Total time: 4 minutes. The repair tech told him the screen protector Apple installs is 9H tempered glass. The same 9H tempered glass that sells in 3-packs on Amazon for $8. The "H" rating refers to the Mohs hardness scale. 9H is the industry standard for every screen protector on the market Apple's, Zagg's, Spigen's, and the unbranded Amazon listing. Same hardness. Same thickness. Same oleophobic coating. The Amazon 3-packs include the same alignment frame Apple uses in-store. Place it on the phone. Drop the protector. Press down. The frame guarantees perfect alignment. No skill required. No Apple Store appointment required. He'd paid $150 across 3 phones for a product that costs $2.67 per unit on Amazon with the same installation tool included free. Saved: $42.

  @kingkrabbyp The @MeekPhill_ hate is warranted, the guy is a 32 year old virgin that is living at home and can’t go down 3 blocks to the Apple Store with out a phone

  @bowscan Nope. What is his name, if this isn’t a scam? He launched this project on Robinhood and tricked buyers into investing in a product, and then walked away from it less than 24 hours later. Not, hey this is a memecoin, but a real project. Either way I’m going to report ******** out of it. He used Apple Store to create this X account, so it will be easy to track him down.
