You're welcome to visit the states. Apple dev academy is here (30-day & 1-year program).

Thx! I should have done this sooner - look at what Apple offers lol

Thanks @guidok2a for the YT recommendation. I just watched it. I never thought to replace my macbook pro with an earlier edition for less than $100.

Hey why do you recommend to using the open core as the last resort?

I never used Linux before. So I'm a complete novice w/ that os.

I recommend using it as a last resort because hardware compatibility issues can be a headache to deal with. The supported models page shows that there are issues with the model you mentioned. If there were no issues i'd recommend trying it. (someone on youtube did try it with a 2009 model: youtu.be/ZBJympwkheM but it doesn't really seem to be usable imo)

If you never tried linux it might not be a fit then. A new machine is by far the easiest option.

I get that... no direct links to payment pages from app.

So is this scenario okay?
site: payment links in header & nav.
app: no direct payment links. premium features labeled/disabled with direct product & homepage links.

@sponno so how do the users know about the browser payment page if we can't link to it? I'm assuming Apple is checking marketing websites for links too, right?

That's the rules - If you look at Amazons Kindle app - there is nowhere in the app to buy a book. Your app is like a "viewer app" if you have a subscription you can use the app.

If you want to sell something, use Apples in-app payments and pay the 30% feee.

Thanks Rich! You can DM me on Twitter your email to send the email survey to. I appreciate the help. I'm working on the Qs now.

What have you learned that helps with your growth?

nothing, we know nothing. all we know is eat hot chip and grow

I appreciate the help @mikaeljohansson, thanks! I'll address the visuals once I get the words right. To me the copy is heart & soul and the visuals are bones & flesh.

Did any of the copy confuse you?

😂 Will do! Dude, I swear copywriting is a tech stack in itself. I never thought there would be a day I do more bug fixes with copy than code. Lawd Jeezus!

After I take my 50th nap today, I should be well rested to tackle those pesky Qs tomorrow.
