✨ From Web Engineering to iOS Development: Wondering if RevenvueCat is the best option to go to for in app purchases? Any ideas?😊🤓🙏🏻

HELLO everyone! ❤️ If you don’t know, I’m working on my second MVP, which also happens to be my very first mobile app for iOS. Coming from a TypeScript and React.js background, diving into Swift has been… an experience, to say the least!

I’ve got to say—Xcode has probably been my biggest challenge so far. Switching from IntelliJ IDEA and VS Code to a completely new IDE was like stepping into a different world. You know what you’re trying to do, but half the time, you’re wondering, “Where the heck is this button?”… There have definitely been some “aha!” moments… and a fair share of “ugh” moments, too.

That said, I’ve made some solid progress! I’ve implemented Google SSO for login, built a dashboard, added settings, several views, a badge system, and even hooked up some APIs. Right now, I’m learning how to work with emulators and getting ready to test directly on my iPhone. Oh, and trying to write some tests, which is turning out to be another time-consuming challenge!

This MVP is going to be a simple “life hack” kind of solution that I think a lot of people will find useful. I can’t share all the details just yet, but I’m super excited about it and will reveal more soon—so stay tuned!

For now, I’m not spending much time on design; my focus is just getting the app to work. There’s so much to learn about Swift and iOS development, but honestly? It hasn’t been as scary as I thought it would be (so far). Let’s see how the rest goes!✨🦄🚀

HOPE YOUR FIRST 2025 weekend is going well!✨
