The results are here:
#ErrorHandling is the topic folks on Mastodon are most interested in.
#AppArchitecture won the same poll on Twitter. 😄

#SwiftUIHelpers is the clear loser on both.
#InAppPurchases comes 2nd or 3rd.

I’ll do the SwiftUIHelpers library last then. Thanks for participating! 🙏

'How does Zynga hunt for whales?'

🤑 At GDC Zynga talked about its predatory, but profitable, use of in-app purchases.

▪️ 70% - 90% of all revenue comes from "VIPs".

▪️ A poker player who routinely plays 50 hands / day but then starts playing only 20 hands / day will get a call from Zynga to "get them back on track".

Casual thoughts on #apple and #inapppurchases
Apple is not just a payment processor. They provide download bandwidth, Apple IDs, and platform APIs. Their role is not trivial.
But the more convincing point for me is what Apple *doesn’t* do: they don’t bear any responsibility for making sure the IAP actually works beyond app review. They don’t make content or add features or fix bugs. The devs bear the vast majority of the responsibility. More than 70%, if you ask me.
