Thanks, this is good to know. The other large component which gets thrown around is engagement. It seems as if only companies like flurry would be able to discern this sort of info…

Does anyone know of an up-to-date analysis of the iOS app store ranking algorithm? I've seen first hand how ratings can move an app up the list, but I've never noticed engagement o…

I'm sure he's aware of that. This is a major element of the UI which shouldn't require you to move to another screen to enjoy. Swiping near the bottom with my thumb hasn't bothered…

I love how deep objc.io dives. They'll present long essays on topics which normally get glossed over in a sentence or two. Particularly useful are their thoughts on the state of ob…

This just means apps will have to be built with Xcode 5. Older iOS versions can still be supported.

Rushed and misread your comment, apologizes.

This hacky code most certainly isn't required.

It appears to only work on certain pre-defined coloring pages.

I bet he's excited to see what he can do with CoreText and iOS7 for this.

Wow this is awesome, I use this all the time and had wished I could contribute. Can't wait to start!

Kippster, a 3rd party app, has been pretty great for me on iPad. I was an avid Pocket user. And it's great for saving things you want to read later and then just throw away. A lot …

They have even higher rates for free apps with in-app purchases.n. We were told $3 per install or $100k flat rate for 1 day. This was roughly a month and a half ago. Unfortunately …

A former colleague of mine had a series of "cheat" apps which included answers to popular games on the app store. He started to see his apps pulled on Sunday. It could be a coincid…

Interesting breakdown, but I think it's a little font-obsessed biased e.g. "The artificial slab serif ITC Lubalin by Herb Lubalin not only embodies stability, but also emanates a v…

Ever find anything on this?

That's a great idea, did you do it for Chrome? Seems like with Chrome it's non-trivial to set the page for new tabs...

As a developer trying to gain more insight into proper design methodology this really spoke to me. With all the articles and discussion around "design" really focusing more on aest…

I find it interesting that Boston often gets the rub of being a "small city". It certainly is when compared to New York or LA, but when looking at the metro area it's on par with S…

I'm pretty shocked you didn't use TestFlight or some equivalent. Did you manually build test versions of the app on all your tester's devices? How did you manage getting them updat…

At least you wouldn't need a new image for each new language.
