Apple rejected my app, because they throught there was a frickin Windows phone on my loading screen.

How insecure can you be?

I added a “shake-to-snow” hidden feature to an iOS app that worked only on December 25th. You’d shake your iPhone or iPad and the entire screen would start snowing for 10 seconds.

A client refused to pay for a hybrid mobile app because he said that he only needed the android version.

After publishing the app he asked if we could submit it on the Apple store because he now wanted the iOS version as well.

In case anyone was wondering if Apple ever actually tests updates during review, they do. Sometimes, apparently, they also use devRant with the provided test account. Hopefully their rant/comment quality improves, but they are trying!!

Boss: We need this update deployed and propagated before end of day.

Web: done!
Android: done!
iOS:...
Boss: what's the matter?
iOS: 2-3 business days, sir.

Apple and its app review process. Ugh!

When the client requirements for the ios/android app is that the source code has to be php...

Them: “We want parallax on our website on mobile!”

Me: “Parallax does not work in a mobile web browser.”

Them: “But it does here!” Shows me an iOS app that does parallax.

Me: “That’s in an iOS app. Not a mobile web browser”.

Them: “ Oh well. I’m sure you’ll figure it out!”

😐😐😐😐😐.
Welp.

(after 1 month working on native android app).
Me: The android app is now ready.

Boss: okay great... Can we have the ios one ready for launch tomorrow.

Me: No it will take some time.
Boss: why you already have the Code can't you just make an ios app out of it... Like copy and paste

Me:😡😡🆘

I was almost finished a website when the client changed their mind and decided that what they actually wanted was an app for Android and iOS because that's apparently what I promised them.

I double-checked the contract to make sure. It said I was building them a website that would be tested for mobile-friendliness on browsers from phones using Android and iOS. :/

is their anyone want to make ios app using css ?

Recruiter: hi, I have an iOS Developer role. Would you be interested?

Me: sure, send me on the spec.

Recruiter: ok great so for this Full stack app developer role we are looking for someone with:

- 5+ years embedded C/C++ experience
- 5+ years of working with Windows and Linux
- Native Android development
- As well as Native iOS experience

Interested?

Me: ......... ok buddy, you and me are going to have a little chat about what “iOS Developer” means

Me: Great iOS app is only 20MB shouldn't take long to upload!

XCode laughed
AppLoader laughed
Apple laughed

I cried T_T

FOUR DAYS

Tomorrow will be the FOURTH FUCKING DAY spent trying to get this piece of shit iOS simulator to not crash the app.

I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

FUCK APPLE. FUCK XCODE. FUCK IOS😠😤😠😤😠😤😠😤😠😤

Steve Jobs was a twat, and the IPhone X garbage piece of technology

we are working for a client who wants an app compatible for both iOS and android. He asked us to send both the "apk" and "ipk" files together😂

Just published first iOS app for client at apple store. 😎🙏🏼

Tried to double tap on a programming joke in the iOS Twitter app... Closed Twitter and opened devRant.

So the Marketing department want me single handed recreate an app exactly like Alipay in 2 days? WTF? I told him that this is impossible ... he told me to "Use Template." He said he can even use wordpress to do it .

The problem is they need android app and ios , (nnon-webview)

Developing app for iOS is expensive.

I'm the only programmer in the company. Sometimes it's exhausting doing everything. I'm currently working on 3 iOS apps, a web app, building out the APIs and managing the databases at the same time.

Full fucking stack. Every day.

I met my girlfriend via online dating and she is often checking out recipes on social media, so I came up with the idea to combine cooking and Tinder as a tiny side project.

I built an app that lets you swipe recipes to add them to your cookbook and called it "Daily Cook" and it is available on both Android and iOS. :)

Mental health > Xcode and iOS Development

PM: hows the android app going?
Android Dev: gradle downloading... blocked by network admin.

PM: anyway how is the iOS app going?
iOS Dev: cocoapods downloading... blocked by network admin.

PM: ... i guess the only thing running now is the web admin right?
Laravel/VueJS Dev: composer nodejs/npm/yarn downloading... blocked by network admin.

PM: team lets retest the api endponts
Team: Postman downloading... blocked by network admin.
Team: -_- Insomnia REST Client downloading... blocked by network admin.

PM: code study?
Team: even visual studio code/android studio/xcode is blocked. :(

.... sad dev life

anyone here with the same problem?

Bought Macbook pro. Because React native iOS apps don't compile on Linux machine.. :/:/

Currently developing an android app that is a clone for an existing iOS app. Sadly all the PMs and POs (the P-M/O fraction) at this firm are somehow iPhone users.
So every time we implement stuff according to android guidelines some PMO comes around and asks: "why doesn't this look/work/smell like in iOS?"
Somedays I feel like crying...

Requirements for developing iOS apps:
$99/year, Swift, OSX, Mac, Xcode, and patience waiting for app store approval. Are there even iOS devs out there or it's just a scam?

My company is asking me to create a new gmail account everyday and write a positive review with 5 stars for their iOS app on App Store. Is that even legal? Should I say no? I’m a fucking engineer, not a click-farm worker.

I just developed full iOS app without previous knowledge on iOS.

Am I a good developer, or a good Googler ?

iOS 11. New technology. New innovation. New OS.

(What I mean is that Apple finally added support for GIFs in the native photos app)

I want to share with the DevRant community that after a lot of work; today my first IOS app was accepted and published on the App Store.

What a historic day!

Submitted my first pull request to an open source project, the iOS Wikipedia app!

So this happened when i was developing the iOS app for the company I work in. I was given half boiled code written by the previous employee to work on. The app was laid around a webview. Now in iOS, there are 2 kind of webviews, the UIWebView that works on all iOS versions, and the WKWebview that works only on iOS 8+.
The app was coded using UIWebview, I brouht that up with my boss, and he asked me to continue using it, even after I repeatedly informed him that the javascript engine of this webview is subpar and we could be better off with WKWebview. Fast forward to 12 weeks later. The application is ready and is given to the boss for testing. He runs the app and plays around for a day. The next day, he comes up to me and says "The javascripts aren't working that well, can we switch to WKWebview instead?" In the inside of my mind, I have already murdered him three times, on his face, however I say, "We can look into it."
So, basically I rewrote the whole app with WKWebView, retargetting the app to iOS 8+.
The app is tested and launched. Everythings fine. AND NOW, he comes up to me and says, "Can we switch it back to UIWebView? We really need the app to be universally available on the app store and 6% of our customers, still use iOS7."
You know how I felt and what I had to do. Goes without saying, that the application is available on the AppStore, targetting iOS 7+.

TLDR, iOS Dev, given half boiled code with UIWebview, tells boss about WKWebview (iOS8+) and advantages. He asks me to continue UIWebView. App developed, 12 weeks. He comes up and points to problems and asks me to retarget with WKWebview. Developed and App launched.
He comes up and says, we need iOS7+, retarget the app to UIWebview. FML.

Everytime 🙄
Client: it's not working.
Me: what isn't
Client: the app video and link thing locator
Me: device and spec ? Like I always need
Client:iPhone
Me: yes. What one and what version of iOS
Client: urm 6s iOS 10 something
Me: great 😏 not broken for me
Client: well everyone is complaining so we need it fixed.

What can i even do now 😐

When you spend a few hrs hunting down a performance issue in your iOS app only to find that you accidentally hit the shortcut for "Slow Animations" in XCode. 😭😭😭

After about 2 years and one restart of the project, I am finally finished with my first iOS game, and put it on the app store! Super proud!

Joined a new company / team to work on an iOS app that has 2 different backend environments "Dev" and "Prod". Also being referred to in iOS speak as "Debug" and "Release".

Been trying to get accounts on these backends (no sign up in app, its controlled via another process). Eventually get access to "Dev" for one of the regions, so I load up "Debug" and its not working.

This is odd, so I open the Android app and load "Dev" and it works? I then Notice Android has "Dev", "QA", "Staging" and "Prod" for every region where as iOS only has 2 of these.

So I go back to iOS and find the file for the settings and it has iOS Debug assigned a variable for the backend Dev ... which is actually pointing to QA. Because they use QA to Debug and not Dev.

... confused? join the club

I was building my iOS app in xcode, when I get an error. It was some swift library thing I did not recognize.
Then without changing anything:
Build again.
Error
Build again.
Error
Build again
No errors at all. Run my app and everything works perfectly.

If you had a dollar for every time someone has told me "I have an app idea" , you would have enough money to hire me to build your app.

It's probably an easier task to code an app for iOS in BASIC than getting 100 +1s on a rant.

First thing I did after upgrading to iOS 10 is removed Stocks app 😅

Well done, T-Mobile!

They have an iOS app to handle contract stuff. That app integrates their shop system via an internal browser.
The shop notifies me, that the used browser is not supported by the shop...

Oh and the browser is an embedded safari on iOS 12.

if (stuck && coworker_near){
me.explainProblem(coworker);
// tl;dr
}
else {
me.pzizzPowerNap(20);
}

This usually works for me.
(FYI : Pzizz is a free app for Android/iOS)

My friend called me today.
Him : Dude,can you write an app for both android/ios for my uni's orientation night. The app -
1) will only be activated only in the school compound.
2) display all the images with certain hashtag from Instagram.
3) voting option for selecting king/queen of the night.
Oh and the event is in next two weeks. You can just modify the Facebook and the instagram app right?

Speechless....

Made my first ever app for iOS using Swift. I must say I kinda like this programming language.

So, I'm the only iOS developer in the company working on this stupid app which is never going to succeed because the client idea is just plain stupid. Anyway, 6 months developing this crap, countless iterations, trillions of so-called retard "features", and now that we are almost there to go into production my PM decides it's a great moment to document every aspect of what was done and asks me to do it. Now I have 3 documents to write and around 80 bugs to review before Friday. Stupid me for thinking he didn't waste 6 months doing absolutely nothing while I was working 12 hrs a day to meet deadlines.

Came into this company as a web dev. Now I have to develop a native iOS app in swift.

FML

[Typical dump Client]

After finishing an Android app, the app was amazing and the client is happy.

Client: I think we should write iOS version.

Me: ok, but this will take a time to code in different language with those native features..

Client: Can we just "convert" it to iOS, it should be easy no?

My job in a nutshell:

*fixes app, so it's working 99% bug free*
*Chrome update*
*app is full of bugs*
*fixes bugs*
*iOS 10 comes out*
*app is full of bugs*
*fixes bugs*
"we can now remove iOS7 support"
*removes code*
*app is full of bugs*

For fucks sake!!

Ummm, why exactly do you need to see my calendar to show me the list of contacts?!

IOS 11 Beta 2 can play gifs in the default Photos app!!!

So My Employer want me to create an app like spotify+Baidu+Alipay for IOS and Android, and he want the app in the production in two days.

ouch! my health :(

Fabric (crashlytics) , I have to say it is helps so much when testing the iOS app, haven't gotten it to work with Android but I'd just install the apk anyways lol

This is 2017.
A client wants the app to be compatible with iOS 7.

- How do you think, could you port our app to iOS?
- Never did iOS apps, but I will learn and try, maybe I will became iOS dev

Fuck, I'm still supporting it
Dear Android devs, never come to the dark side! It's a nightmare

Boss: we will build mobile app with web app.
Me: absolutely yes.
Boss: you will do the mobile app (iOS)
Me: absolutely , yes I'm iOS developer.
Boss: you will do the android app too, we can't hired an android developer.
Me: absolutely, yes.(but I need to learn it first).
Boss: you will do the web app , it's difficult to find good web developer)
Me: absolutely,yes . I'm Ruby on Rails developer.
After a while........
Me: do I have a bonus ,sir.
Boss: ...............
(there is no response).
Me: ....................

The client always goes like... I want the android app to look exactly like the ios app.... Am like you know these are two platforms with different designs guidelines

The most satisfying thing with an iOS app in production.

Realizing that you were watching and working with an iOS tutorial when you were coding for an hour or two your Android app

😬😬😬😬😬😬😬🔥

Had a guy test an iOS app for me several months ago. Couple of days ago he messages me asking me if I can give him my code because and I quote...
"I'd like to create the same app"

I (as politely as possible) told him no & why.

teacher substitution schedule ios app.

client to Freelance programmer : we'll need a website, an android app, an ios app, a windows phone app, a windows desktop application, a Linux app, a mac app, we also want an interactive game version of the app, for learning and tutorials, can you develop all that? *developer : yes. *goes to learn c# : )

For our iOS app, our project manager wanted an alert to pop up and ask the user to rate the app. Even if the user tapped 'no' or had already rated it.
And it was supposed to be in the settings view so the user would see it every time they used the app.

Implementing something that annoys me to death in every other mobile app blergh 😷

Client asked us to build standard dating app. Android version was published without problem but iOS version was rejected because during registration we collect data application does not need to work properly, that data is age and gender of user...

The designer of a new version of an app sent me the the new designs. I immediately noticed the menu-icon in the bottom right. (In a tab bar)

This is not common and even discouraged by design docs of iOS and Android. So I told him that and he thought we could try it.

After scrolling through the designs I saw the screen where the menu was open; the close button was also on the bottom right. I told him that users are not used to have a menu close button on that position. He said "Every other company is doing it wrong, so we're here to make that difference".. The only thing I thought was 'Okay, so Google is doing it all wrong all the time.'.

So now it's in the app and I don't like it.

*client comes to us "please take care of our app, it's ugly and the previous devs made it all buggy, especially the Android version"
*we write code, analyze bugs, fix them, QA them
*we deliver a preview
*client only looks at the iOS app, doesn't give a flying fuck to the Android app

Me and the unofficial CTO (3rd party's CTO) are interviewing an ios dev. (I'm an android dev, btw)

CTO: In your view, would you find developing an ios app would be faster or at the same speed as an android dev?

Me: *shock*

Canidate: I've never developed on Android before, but I'd think it would be the same speed. We both need to make screens, views, and type code.

She is programmer that have 9 years old
She develop app for ios that is youngest programmer

For those of you iOS Swift developers, how long did it take to learn and have a decent app with database functionality, coming from a different programming language background?

Designer makes an app Mockup using an iOS template. I make the android version and the ios dev makes his version.

Upon completion, the client rejects mine saying that I forgot to put back buttons in the top left corner of each screen.

My face when he didn't reject the ios version for not having a hardware back button. 🤦‍♂️

Are devrant servers dying? Algo sorting doesn’t load more rants and recents sorting is kinda wonky.

I tried official devrant app on ios and joyrant with same results.

This is kind of a test if I can still rant or not.

Nowadays I develop cross platform app, when I speak with an Android or iOS developer I feel like I'm summoning the satan.

Why don't you apple tell me all my fucking errors at once instead of waiting to submit again the next day?
It's been 3 days now 😡😡😡😡

I hate how the IOS developer of our team gets all the recognition for an app we made just because the manager has a bloody iPhone, even though I did the entire backend and Android app.

I was hired to make a little app, alone, for iOS, Android and I had to code the server and the database. At first it was only à little app on Android and I had to do it in one month and go back school after.
Finally, the client was upset that the app was buggy and asked me to stop school because it was my duty because he paid me

The pains of developing for iOS!

Greaaaaaat, Apple introduced a performance bug in iOS 12.1.2 that affects my app on iPhone X and higher. It just makes me work

If you're on a mobile development team, you are treated special when you're the iOS guy. Nobody here damn cares about Android.

When I discovered that our awesome eForm solution for paramedics was a web frame in an iOS app containing a crappy HTML form powered by a 2000 line JS file

Her: How do you make an app?
Me: Well, first you have to decide what language you want to use as the basis for coding it, or what system you want to start on ex: ios/Android
Her: What

smh.

Why hire a Native iOS Developer when you're going to let him develop an iOS app to look EXACTLY like its Android counterpart?

There's hybrid and cordova for that if you want your apps to look and feel exactly the same.

Can't we all just agree to appreciate the distinct differences in UI for both platforms? Navigation especially? Copy context not UI.

Virtual box.

I recently had to code sign an app for ios without having a mac at the office or an iphone to test it on. Thank god for virtual machines though

Be me
Work at software contracting company
Get a new client, iOS objective-c app with ~40000 lines of code
Previous Dev didn't leave a single comment, and he didn't use a database, he used 'NSUserDefaults'

That moment when you realize that the iOS dev uploaded to ITunes Store an app pointing to the devel IP and not the production one Omg! (i'm an android dev)

My boss wants me to make a web application in .NET, it's like asking a Android developer to build the app for iOS as well.
Note: Im a PHP developer

These apple dudes take so much time for app approval!

Frustrated 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Just finished and published iOS and Android app. Now they want to change some colors in the app theme. Never mentioned it once during weekly meetings about the app. Even tho I asked them for input. Now I have to spend half my day recompiling and making new screenshots for the store.... #fucklogic

Do any other teen programmers find it frustrating that clients will only hire us for a lower price? I understand it's a matter of experience, but I still feel designing and programming an iOS app is worth more than $2500...

F*** u apple. From time to time I develop Apps for Android and iOS and boy is the whole iOS app distribution workflow bad.

I try for hours to upload a update for my app.

First I needed the readd my credit card then there were internal server errors and after that I needed to regenerate provisioning profiles.

Everytime I use something from apple, then I experience such a bad user experience. "It just works" not anymore friendo...

That joy of 9MB footprint #DevRant iOS app which updates in seconds!

#hateLargeAppsThatDoLess

Learned via iOS tutor overnight to build a basic single page app. Told I can able to learn fast. Started as intern at a startup. Learned rapidly because I was the only one who building the entire product.

Client: We want you to copy this iOS app as it is.
Me: But some of the ui components are not android specific. The android user is not accustomed to this.
Client: We don't care, we want the same application.

devRant is messed up!
I often open the app (iOS), see a rant that I want to read, tap on it, and the app crashes.
Now I almost got used to that shit but for some reason when I open the app again, that rant that I wanted to read is gone! Never to be found again!
No matter how often I reload, how much I scroll down, it’s simply gone.

This annoys me more than it should maybe. But seriously, wtf is wrong with this platform? I don’t know if it’s only the iOS app but so many other things are broken here, it’s disturbing. And those problems are there for many years, nobody seems to care. 😩

Don’t get me wrong, I like devRant. It’s the only social platform that I use. But… ugh…

Woke up 4am today to push my first iOS app. Took me three phucking hrs to realise apple is down! Their FUCKING dev stats website says all is green! Fuck u xcode

Worst?
When I had to restart my entire progress on the devRant iOS rewrite because I had to switch from SwiftUI to UIKit.

Best?
It took me less than 3 weeks to come to the point in development where I abandoned SwiftUI. The app was already pretty fucking big but I managed to remake it completely in less than 3 weeks. It is my single most proudest achievement that I ever got. I didn’t give up and I powered through. I think it’s safe to assume that I am decent in iOS app development :D

Come on devRant! I’m getting really annoyed when clicking on rant that has [read more] at the end since it is a gamble to kill this iOS app you have made. Every ~5th click I get app terminated. Then after I reenter the app, I lost where I was. Thats why I ++ all the rants I have read, even those who don’t deserve it :), so I can scroll quickly and see which are not ++’ed.

I started iOS app dev thinking there’s good scope in the future,now I hear people saying app dev is gonna die switch to data science. Tf

Did anyone ever felt that everyday is a loop? Mine is as follows

Bug Reported -> Try to reproduce -> Check on web -> Check iOS -> Check iOS 13.x -> Update or get hold of other simulator/devices -> Check iOS 13.x2 -> Fix it -> Now it breaks on Android -> Fix it -> Get it QAd -> QA feels their should be some more design changes -> Make him/her understand that what is priority for now -> Now everyone has started testing app and everyone have their opinion (designers are asleep at this point) -> Get all of the team in sync -> Start release -> 99% -> Some yells "wait" -> One more thing -> Sleep with nightmares -> Repeat

PS: We have a responsive web application that is also wrapped in Cordova for iOS and Android.

I hate developing for iOS. So many certificates here and there for simple things. And to top it all off, sometimes, you get people reviewing your app that say you can't upload to the App Store for stupid reasons. Does anyone feel the same way?

HOLY SHIT

FINALLY

AN APP THAT LETS ME USE FIREFOX I STEAD OF SAFARI ON MY FUCKING IPHONE

ITS NOT THAT DAMN HARD APPLE. YOU DID IT FOR THE MAC...

also devrant, plz add browser selection for iOS (yes I already submitted a GH issue)

"You basically need a iOS and Android app, with access to the driver and also to the final client with an administrative environment and integration to pay online via the app"

- Uber like app request from a friend

Just ranting cause the devRant iOS app keeps crashing randomly when I open rants at times, after crash same rant opens fine.
A lot of “rant” on that sentence.

iPhone XSMax running iOS 14. Otherwise running normally.

DevRant app runs like old people fuck.

Is it just me?

Troubleshooting tips?

What’s this app written in? Is there a DevRant API? I’ll write my own DevRant app with blackjack and hookers.

I wanna start learning mob app development. Which should i choose amongst these and why?
1) React Native
2) Ionic
3) ios native app development.

At the end my focus is to earn more from which ever the tech stack i choose.
Thanks!

Has anybody worked on a transit mobile app? That uses GTFS data and displays routes and times and trip plans etc.? What to use for backend?

Just spent the whole week trying to build an Ionic app for iOS. Of course, I don't have a Mac.

I should charge Apple for the enormous amount of time I lost because of their f***ing policy. Seriously guys ? We're in 2018.

"Our app needs a barcode scanner"
Fair enough, let's do this!
Android implementation using Zxing: 3 days. Ios: 9 days...
1. Dev iPhone has a subtle hw defect that doesn't let it connect to the computer anymore...
2. Our app-framework doesn't have a proper plugin for ios barcode scanners yet.
3. The first barcodescanner implementation is completely broken
4. Swift is not possible because of conflicting framework plugins
5. Build a plugin from scratch, using zxing objective c port.
6. Build problems with main app.
7. Fuck my life

Why the fuck iOS version of devrant crahes every 2 minutes?

Making an app for Android and iOS, for a football club in league.
Android, naturally is no problem.
iOS.....
"Your app or its metadata appears to contain misleading content.
Specifically, your app includes content that resembles one or multiple third-party sports teams and/or leagues."
....yes....because it's an app for a football club in a league.
What else can I do about that? Can I have more specifics?

Woaw, I love the devRant app for iOS, it's very smooth...

That moment when your predecessor was working on his private MacBook and you realize you're gonna have to compile and test this iOS app through an OSX virtual machine on a iPhone emulator

Can someone explain me why the size of the Facebook app is more than 350 MB on iOS?
And I'm not counting cache e local data (which are more than 50 MB), but only the app.

Any technical explanations?

Can someone tell me why the ios expo client has alcohol tobacco and drug use in it? I get it that devs are overworked but damn. Even this app??

!rant

Got a permanent contract today after 1½ year of temporary contract. 🤩

I'll be doing mostly whatever I want, but it starts with a new mobile app for both Android and iOS. Maybe I'll try Xamarin or React Native. However, I don't know iOS (Swift) yet, so maybe I'll learn it along the way. It depends on what would be best for the users.

Sooo many fucking visual and functional glitches in iOS!

Just had my Files app stuck on a file preview. Couldn’t scroll, close or share the file. Closed the app, restarted the app, opened it again with no luck.

Had to offload and reinstate the app to get it working.

Apple is making sure that I go back to Android for my next phone.

To think that such an expensive phone has so many UI/UX glitches is infuriating! I like the overall aesthetics of iOS but these glitches/bugs/whatever-the-fucks are just plain frustrating.

Ok the ionic datetime component horror ended. I got it working good enough but I'm not proud of my code. The whole thing is a giant hack parsing dates to and from strings, switching locales, setting months and days and using the month as a daypicker as this fucking component does not allow me display day names in it, only month names. Such a mess... at least now I can work on the stuff that matters.
Actually though about making this open source... I reconsidered.

The time myself and a colleague got the chance to do a POC to port our iOS app into Swift using storyboards and more modern iOS features. We were able to replicate a significant portion of the existing app in a couple of days. Just wish we had gotten the chance to spend more time on it. We are currently still stuck using crapjective-c

@dfox @trogus: feature request: is there anyway to store on my profile a list of recently viewed rants? It can be for private use only.

There have been a bunch of times that I will be viewing a rant, go into safari to grab a link or find a photo, just to go back to devRant and iOS has reset the app and I can't find what that rant I was looking at. It's really frustrating.

I know getting iOS to keep the app state may be difficult but storing a list of recently viewed rants, while not the simplest, I would think is straight forward.

Making a VR app.
It must work with:
- pico VR
- oculus go
- oculus gear
- Android (standard mobile
- iOS

Now, except for iOS they all work with android, which make things way easier.

Now guess where most of the troubles are?

FUCKING IOS, I just fucking believe iOS even inverts the whole fucking textures while using Unity+GVR

WHY THE FUCK DOES IT EVEN HAPPEN?

I have 4 different projects to build 5 different Apps

Fuck my work

I am so sick with shithead designers that heard about android, but decided it was not important enough to consider it and make their design for android and ios exactly the same. And then force you to implement the ios app in android with the same elements, even supressing native out of the box funcionalities.
They get paid for producing poopy smelly shit.

When you join a project that has no testing, no component policy, a lot of css mixins, that has to work simultaneously as a pwa, android and ios app.

Oh, yes, obviously no documentation at all *flips table*

the most annoying thing Android devs can hear it's"make it like in our iOS app". hate it...

I don't know if our QA is good enough. We were developing an app for both ios and android. I, an ios developer, told the QA guy that it will take long before uploading the app in the testflight (convert swift2 to swift3). After a week the app is now uploaded in the test flight and at the same time my partner, an android developer, uploaded the android version of the app in the play store beta. The QA guy started to raise bug issues about the android version. He wanted to fix the bugs immediately since our boss needed to upload it in the play store and appstore. The QA guy kept on complaining to my partner why the android version is buggy. Then he said something we, me and my partner, facepalm.

The QA guy said " You shouldn't convert the app to swift 3. The ios version is fine when converted why the android version is buggy. You need to revert it back to swift 2"

We sit there in silence, thinking if we pity the QA guy or laugh at him.

My iOS app is going under QA and Security testing this week. This'll be interesting.

First time ran a simple app on real iOS device

Found a bug on dev iOS devRant app
It happens when you are switching between view controllers using the tab bar

The iOS DevRant app is so bad, sometimes it just crashes when I try to open a rant... wth DevRant how can you fuck this up so badly?

I submitted to the bug reporter many times and they don’t do much...

"Coding and testing of the iOS app will be done tomorrow. Then we need to sign and publish it + pass review so it might be live this time next year"

any ios devs here?

i'm a fifteen year old dev collaborating with a friend and we made an app - in flutter. android we are planning on publishing, but on ios we can't afford to pay the $99 to publish. we can't even compile it on a hackintosh. if anyone is willing to compile our app and give us an ipa (or publish it), we would really appreciate it!!!

PWAs gonna take over the world soon..

Apple fucked me, their latest iOS version broke my app 🙄 10.1.2

Then my phone gap plugins decided to update to .. they also don't work 🙄

Absolute mess only way I knew was rolling code back to a version that once worked... Thanks github!

It is day 4 since I started trying to export my Flutter app for iOS. I am finally at TestFlight point.
This....
has been.....
....exhausting.

I don‘t get notifications about @Mentions anymore.

Noticed a few days ago and today in the iOS app.

Having no way to clear application data from an ios app means that I either have to uninstall and reinstall it EVERY TIME I make changes to stored data processes, or I have to build in a whole separate feature to handle clearing the data.

In Android, it's part of the OS.

Why again is ios considered so great?

Getting your web app working on mobile Safari and iOS like the other browsers is the worst nightmare, like in the old days with IE. It has a lot of stupid restrictions and lacks support for browser standards.

I finally learnt how to use Xcode storyboards and constraints properly. They’re pretty awesome and no longer annoying.

Would anyone else like to see a landscape view in the DevRant app, especially when when viewing image attachment in full screen?

Attendance logging software which integrates a website, physical devices and Android/iOS app.
I'm working on it right now.

Xcode and xamarin! Been busy for weeks to get the ios app aligned in each screen

Wrote an Android app for the company I work for. Performed a re-write of their iOS application. Wrote that in Swift. Now working on .Net stuff. I don’t think i’m being paid enough for knowing all of these technologies.

Oh the irony! Was checking my app’s crashes on fabric.io iOS app....

And you know what.. Fabric crashed! 🤣 😄 😄

I've just started learning Objective-C and Cocoa Touch so I can make iOS apps.

I reckon this "mobile" thing has got legs. I want to get in there on the ground floor with app development before everyone's at it.

Client: I Want An IOS App That Does ____
Me: Rip I Have Windows...

I just wrote a rant but the iOS app doesn’t upload the image. It shows the loading spinner and then just stops without creating the rant. Is it an iOS app thing again?
Sorry but this is really annoying.

How much mind raped are you if you're asked to develop an iOS app completely with material design even after you inform that it's against iOS guidelines?

Ffs. I thought I never had to touch development for ios devices anymore but I was wrong.

The god damn piece of shit hybrid app build in apache cordova works perfectly fine on android but guess what, after signing that pile of crap with xcode it won't work on ios because somehow that retarded os forgets to listen for click events on a simple fucking button which is used to activate the app.

Had to create a virtual machine with osx and wait for xcode to instal, sign that app only to figure out it won't work..

Even after seaching google for 3 FUCKING HOURS there are still no FUCKING RESULTS.

I'm done with the entirety of apple and all their products.

What's the usual cost for a basic Swift iOS app? Would it be profitable for me to learn and sell simple apps as a freelancer? (I'm a junior in college)

So many years passed but ios app still randomly shuts down… Did devs give up on this platform?

Question for iOS users (not that I'm looking into an iPhone, just curious)
What is the general state on app notifications? Because I've just about had it with the absolute fucking torrent of notifications whenever you install some random app on Android.

You install some random exercise app and the next day it will say "so did you get your exercise you lazy fucker?".
You install some random food recipe app and it immediately tells you to get your luncheon going with over a billion recipes (and probably all bad)

Any one else having problems with the app crashing when opening items in notifications.

I regularly have the app on IOS iphone die just after opening a comment or similar, but almost exclusively in notifications.

@dfox.

Restarting it usually works, but today I had to restart it 4 times.

Just came another iOS app that is an exact replica of its android counterpart! Icons are pixelated...layouts are pathetic..when will people realise that jus replicating apps across iOS and android is the worst thing ever???

Thor is killing my IoT app for iOS

dang it. just because I signed in using google on an app. doesn't mean I want to be signed in to google everywhere. whatever happened to the privacy sandbox.

Why do I think older iOS version actually does what I want?

You know what is ridiculous?
That another app made by Google for iOS (Google News in this case, but the same problem is present also on Google Tasks, etc.) isn’t correctly responsive...

Interviewing for a job at a small start up on Monday . Any advice?
The app --
Currently only an iOS app. Android in the making. 2500 users. Company is moving to first office space January. Minneapolis MN based.
Me--
Never worked at a startup. JavaScript node express firebase angular postgresql mongdb and stack overflow....
Tips advice anything. Thanks dev ranters

I made a Linux Command Library/Help App for Android and iOS a while ago. In the app I give the user the possibility to request missing commands. A lot of useful feedback and commands arrived since then but apparently some people think I know and can just give them a command to hack entire facebook. like wtf :D

Opinions please.

I want to share a small model in my iOS app. Now on android I'd do with with ViewModelProviders, but on iOS I'm going with SharedDataContainer which is basically a singleton class that store key value data.

Is there any better approach? Data will not be bigger than 10 list items with guid (key) and int (value)

However; when I have big data I do cache on disk or hello OOM exceptions (or whatever they call that bitch on iOS)

And then one day I make a change in the API request params in the android app and guess what the iOS app crashes on open :/

I'm planning to rewrite two months(part time) worth of work done in android sdk. Wanna go for a hybrid framework. Is this a bad idea? Which framework do you suggest as far as stability is concerned? I don't care about ease of learning, new languages don't bother me

Is it ok to upload ios apps to App Store using a VM?

Finally completed the stupid boring never-ending android project and sent it to client. Phew! Now I can work on the other iOS app which I like. Yum.

Is Yahoo mail client app (ios) showing me one unread email just to lure me into opening the app and clicking on the single email which is actually an ad?

!rant

To all the Mac users in here, I want to get in on the iOS app business, but I kinda don't have money for a new macbook. SO! What are your experiences with MacBooks older than 2013? I'm talking about the Air and Pro. Keep in mind that I won't need to run VMs in this, as I have another new Windows PC fully loaded.

Fighting phone addiction. Do you know an iOS app that let me track my (monthly, weekly, daily) phone usage that doesn't require all time GPS tracking permission? Moment, Flipd, Offtime, BreakFree all requre GPS traking.

Hey devRant team, I saw the new designs and they are awesome. Actually I just started learning Android App Development and I was curious what stack do you guys use for devRant Android App. And while we are on this can you guys share the stack you use for IOS app and Web app. Thank you and by the way you've done a really good job with android app.

My devRant app crushes quite often on iOS 12.1. Is it a well known problem or not?
Also, the emoji keyboard sometimes jumps back to English keyboard instantly without press anything

Want to learn python and js, but stuck working with php and some jquery, at home i’m working on an ios app, 😵, and with all of that i have to supervise some student which i hate

Any native iOS devs want to help me finish my app? It's a medical app and I estimate that I'm at least 70% done with it. But I guess since I'm supposed to be posting a rant WHY CAN'T I FIND ANYONE TO HELP ME?!

So I wanted to check on an iOS app in my company's Apple account but ...

I don't know, this thing used to be a login.

If you must write an all new android/ios app, native for each one or xamarin or other or...?

I'm trying to go into iOS app development. Should I bother with Objective-C or is Swift the new way to go?

What's the best finance Mac App? In iOS I'm currently using HomeBudget with Sync but it's Mac app sucks. Now I'm looking for alternatives. Thanks!

Devrant keeps crashing on iOS and I’m getting really sick of it. It’s been at least 6 months like this.

Edit: Also on iOS, the “X” button on top left overlaps with the “back” button to go back to the previous app (i.e. search)

To all the iOS app developers out there, who uses a Macbook Pro 13"? Is that a sufficient screen size working in Xcode or no?

I wish some one develop an iOS app for shadowsocks proxy. From China with blocked Internet.

Ok so another short rant about project I ranted before. We are developing Android and iOS social app for around 6 months, apps should have been in store during September . Turns out sometimes during August Apple decided that all apps of appstore that communicate with server have to implement ipv6 also Amazon had support ipv6 on its old ec-classic instances but not on new ec-vpc instances. I have worked until middle of the night trying to find work around for this but at the end we need to find another host that supports ipv6

So I'm thinking about programming an app for iOS and Android in C# for my senior project.. but since I lack creativity I can't think of something..

Is it worth going into iOS app development?

I've just exported my flutter app using the magic codemagic and they sent me the versions, but the question is how can convert the .app format from the IOS version to .ipa cuz it's not working by directly rename it.

The fuckin iOS app keeps crashing. I'm not on iOS by choice you didn't have to make it worse

Anyone here developed ios app?

Hi, everybody.

I have been working on an IOS app for a while and I´m about to finish it, and I would like to share it with developers and users from around the world.

Any idea of how to reach as many persons as possible? How and where to share the app?

Thank You for your responses!
