Exactly this, it takes a few days before the app will be indexed.
I wonder what on earth takes a few days, this is not a DNS record...
DNS records take a minute or two to update

They are fighting an uphill battle against a never ending wave of products that are often well meaning but named too similarly too. Not that HN wants to admit it when gpt4all gpt4free etc comes up
Is "GPT" a registered trademark in the AI space?
They did apply for one IIRC. Which is silly, but people apply to trademark all kinds of generic terms.

Re: ChatGPT app for iOS
#204So, does this run on iOS, or is it a wrapper of some privacy invading cloud thing? It says it syncs between devices. Is it E2E sync, which is kind of table-stakes for the iOS ecosystem at this point?
What does E2E sync mean here? They already know what you wrote because you submitted it to them, similar to a Google search.

#205Tried this for few minutes, and it makes my phone run hot. Whats the CPU/GPu intensive work this app is doing on the device? I thought all the queries are sent to the server and no on device processing.
It's using whisper to do speech to text, which is a non-trivial amount of on device processing. At least that's why I think it's heating up my phone, because that was the first thing I wanted to try.

The App Store has had a problem with cold starts for a few years now. I remember a few years ago when I worked on App Store search it was a known problem when apps like Disney+ were released and users were searching directly for a new app immediately.
Exactly this, it takes a few days before the app will be indexed.
"Cold start" problems are usually not about the app being indexed, but about the recommendation/ranking system being based on what other users have clicked on or downloaded.

Can't find the chart, but several of those wrapper apps made $1MMs in revenue too https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/fake-chatgpt-apps-raking-tho... The Chart: https://i.imgur.com/IYC0Pcb.png
Interesting, yes, that make sense, there should be resellers. It is not clear how much of that money ended up going to Apple and paying for the OpenAI API access. Is Apple going to get their cut from the paying customers of OpenAI, by the way?
no. and you won’t be able to start paying from inside the app.

#208For people outside the US: use a second apple account with Region set to US. I have used this many times for country specific public transport or delivery apps but same thing works here. You do not lose access to other apps, sync features or subscriptions. Go into the App Store app, not your phone settings, click your profile and scroll all the way down to log out. Then log in with a US account, download the app and…
How can you create a US account? Don't they ask for a credit/debit card and/or phone number?

There's nothing "fake" about those apps at least upon surface level investigation: OpenAI sold access to the ChatGPT and GPT-4 API, so opportunistic people made chat apps "powered by" ChatGPT and GPT-4. They would be "fake" if they claim to be made by OpenAI, which they don't. So, on what ground do you suggest they should be blocked from submission? Slapping a custom UI on a third party API is fine, if a bit distaste…
Here’s an interesting real-time shift in language happening. You just referred to these things as ‘chat apps’. And that seems reasonable - they use a chat interface. But they aren’t ‘chat apps’ as we would have understood them a few months ago. They don’t let you chat with people. They let you chat with an LLM. Is the word ‘chat’ changing its meaning?
it changed the moment the product and api were named chatgpt …
Re: ChatGPT app for iOS
#210I clicked on the link on my PC. Noted the name of the app ("Openai ChatGP") and the description ("The official app by OpenAI") I opened App Store on my iPhone and typed the name of the app, verbatim . The official/correct app was not in the first 20 entries (which is as far as I was willing to scroll). Which, to me: 1. Shows why an official app is needed even though the web version works perfectly fine on iPhone and…
The web version is very far from perfect on an iPhone. It keeps logging me out, the copying UX is subpar… And god forbid I lock my phone while I'm getting a completion back. It stops mid sentence and there is no way to continue with it. Which (locking one's phone for a bit while interacting with it) is a very valid use case if you are doing stuff with your hands and want to put the phone in your pocket for a bit. I'm…
“Perfectly fine” does not mean perfect, it means it’s usable. And it’s not like the parent commenter doesn’t agree that an app is useful.
