[Journey] Building an iOS & Android App Empire

OnlineA said:

I just started reading this thread, few pages done and its better than watching a movie. lol

Long time to go, before I go through all of it, but just one quick question, if you don't mind. Would you share what niches worked for you best in the app world?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you! Usually I dont share the niche. I have some bad experiences with it. Some people completely copied my work before and tried to blackmail me, so I just avoid having this problem again.


Thank you!

Understood, thanks, anyway. I have another question. Did you ever get an app rejected by apple for "spam"? I got a message about 4 apps rejected as "spam", even though they are completely different and unique, so they sent me 9 questions to answer for each, to explain them, etc. Did that ever happen to you? I had 5 apps in review the past week, so probably too much for a small developer account?

Yes, got it.

I heard these days they are doing this like crazy. Instant rejections for 4.3 Spam + App Generation Service. They dont even take a look at the app anymore.

I think its a horrible thing to do, considering people are spending $99 for a developer account, go through verification and all of this.

5 apps at the same time might have triggered this spam rejection. I would usually do not two apps at the same time at most.

Only thing you can do now is explaining is answering all those questions and how for the best. Or try to integrate as many unique features as possible first.

Thanks for the answer. I have nothing unique to integrate, as these are completely different apps for different businesses of mine and have nothing in common at all...so I guess after replying to those 9 questions, all I can do is wait and hope it won't take weeks. Because lately it has been 2 weeks sometimes before they even take a look at a new app. Google isn't much better either, but at least they are faster most of the time...if I wait more than 3-4 days for a review, I know they will complain about something. lol

Not all apps. Maybe half of it.

I do not really limit them. Most users wont spend more money than they spend anyway.

Some ways to limit it:

- charge them for extra usage (credits)
- nerf the ai models (use cheaper ai models after a certain amount of usage)
- charge higher prices
- make everything usage based (no subscription, just credits per usage so you will never need to worry about it)

With the release of iOS 27 Apple added some new native features you can add. Foundation models, etc.

Also, you can add live activities, shortcuts, siri integration, etc.
