Back from a week vacation with my wife and kids 🥰 Submitting new versions of @AppDab.app and Score Wonders for App Review, and continuing "work" on my FaceTime photo-sharing app "Sammen" - almost ready fo TestFlight 🚀 DM me if you want to help me test it out.

Used the app since Dec 2023. Finally bought Premium Lifetime in Feb 2026. That’s not an impulse buy - that’s a considered relationship. 😄

Next version of @appdab.app will get a "What's New" screen on updates 🎉 This is something I think has been missing, as it has been hard telling users through other channels, all of the changes - posts and App Store "What's new" is not long enough. #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev

Prototype working! 🎉 My new vibe-coded app uses SharePlay and CloudKit to let a person in a FaceTime call show photos to the other participants 🏞️ Next thing to work on: speed of photo downloading 🚀 (Left Morten is showing photos to Right Morten) #buildinpublic #iosdev #indiedev

While Codex has been working on features, I have been trying to design an icon 😅 Hand drawn and glassified with Icon composer.

I am trying to build a vibe-coded app with Codex 😬 It’s something I’ve wanted to build for a long time, but never really had the time to figure out whether it was even possible. It's an iOS app with a focus on family and friends 🥰 #buildinpublic #indiedev #iosdev

New version of the #AppStoreConnect API, and a new version of Bagbutik 🏪 Some interesting stuff for Game Center 🕹️, In-App Purchase offer codes 💳 and Android to iOS mapping 🤖 github.com/MortenGreger...

Watch this update ship - literally 🚢⌚️🥸

Soon you will be able to release apps from your wrist 🚀 What would you like to do in #AppStoreConnect from your watch? #indiedev #iosdev

🧵 Three years ago I quit my job to go indie. Here’s what really happened — the highs, lows, burnout, community, competition, money, creativity, and why I’d still choose it again. ❤️👇

This is something I’ve wanted to do since launch — almost 3 years ago! 🎉 It was an interesting challenge, spelunking and manipulating the #AppStoreConnect DOM 🤓 Everything is open-sourced as part of AppStoreConnectKit Swift package 🚀 github.com/MortenGreger... #indiedev #iOSDev

I love how easy it is (for a non-designer like me) to create something like this with Icon Composer 🤩

FYI you can’t drive to #WWDC from Florida, 3 persons on a motorbike, with luggage and backpacks… 😅 I know, because @chriswu.com, @strasser.bsky.social and I tried tonight in my dreams 😴

Fun update! 🚀 It looks small to the user, but is the first version of @appdab.app using my new AppStoreConnectKit package 📦 which handles API keys in Keychain 🔐, creates Certificate Signing Requests 🪪 and has some error parsing and entity formatting 🤩 github.com/MortenGreger...

Autumn break disco night in “grandpa’s water park” 🌊 (He works at the holiday resort ❤️) Kids splashing, lights flashing, music pumping – and my Apple Watch warns me it’s too loud 🎧😅

Look at that! 🤩 An article about our app on @AppAdvice 🥰 It was funny to see Andreas so excited, when I showed him ❤️ appadvice.com/post/minotau... #iOSDev #IndieDev #Shipaton #ParentDev

This morning @Apple dropped a new version of the App Store Connect API 🚀with some interesting new stuff like build upload, App Tags, and more webhook types 🤩 And yes, also closes 3 of my feedbacks 🥰 New version is published! 🎉 github.com/MortenGreger...

Talk about symbolic! Inspired by Greek mythology… 🏛️ and our first transaction comes straight from Greece 🇬🇷😍

It’s launch day! 🚀 Andreas (7yo) and I just released Miniotaur 🏛️ Our father–son app for #Shipaton where you can build, share & escape mazes is now live on the App Store 🤩 Andreas is so thrilled! 🥰 Have a look! ❤️ apps.apple.com/app/id675128... #iOSDev #IndieDev #Shipaton #ParentDev

Okay, maybe I spent a bit of time on the onboarding... 😅 #iOSDev #IndieDev #Shipaton #ParentDev

The beta of our maze app is ready 🤩 We are so excited to hear what you think 🥰 My son doesn’t understand social media 🤓 Please help spread the word around the world 🌍 testflight.apple.com/join/PjED5FMP Also sign up at miniotaur.app to hear when we launch 🚀 #iOSDev #IndieDev #Shipaton #ParentDev

Apple has finally approved @AppDabApp 2025.5 🚀 It contains some big news like the new UI architecture (I started working on, on my flight to @DeepDishSwift in April) and push notifications powered by the new webhooks in App Store Connect, announced at #WWDC25. #IndieDev #iOSDev

Yesterday my son (also) spotted the corner wall glitch 😬 It was an issue with .overlay in SwiftUI, had to fix it today 😅 Walls now render correctly on top of the maze view. Beta sign-ups open in the coming days miniotaur.app #iOSDev #IndieDev #Shipaton #ParentDev

My son and I are almost ready with a beta of our maze app, Miniotaur 🤩 Sign up and be the first to try it out ❤️ miniotaur.app #shipaton #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #iOSDev #ParentDev

Finishing up the next big update of @appdab.app with new design 🤩 and push notifications 🚀 I could use some help testing it out ❤️ testflight.apple.com/join/BNQYZRgm (The app is free when testing, but there is an introductory offer the next couple of months)

A glass minotaur icon for our maze app 🐮 #shipaton #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #iOSDev #ParentDev

I scored a @revenuecat.com’s #Shipaton bonus 🥰 While preparing my new app in @appdab.app, I was reminded that export-compliance was missing - so the latest version now lets you manage it smoothly 🤩 Plus, right now, AppDab Pro with Intelligence is free for your first 3 months! 🚀

This annoying root will be an offer for an “axe-ident” 🪓 (dad joke)

After a few experiments with the maze data model, I wired it up to the UI — and boom: our first draft of drawing paths! 🤩 Watching my son hold the app for the first time and whisper “whoa” was everything ❤️ #shipaton #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #iOSDev #ParentDev

@appdab.app for iOS 26 & macOS Tahoe is coming soon with Apple's beautiful Liquid Glass design! 🤩 Experience better navigation, enhanced reliability, and a beautiful new interface 🚀 Let me know what you think! #indiedev #iosdev #SwiftUI Join the beta: appdab.app/os26

First pixels! Not pretty 😬 but we had a digital version of my son’s hand drawn UI with tools and dots ✍ That felt like magic to him 🪄 #shipaton #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #iOSDev #ParentDev

It started with a grid notebook I got from @appfigures.com at @deepdishswift.com last year. My son filled it with mazes — I tried them... and we thought: what if we built an app to create and share mazes? That’s our project for @revenuecat.com #shipaton 😻 #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #iOSDev #ParentDev

As I shipped this just before taking a long summer vacation, I forgot to mention, that I have already shipped something that was announced at #WWDC25 🤩 This is second year in a row 🤓

My son and I are working together this year on an app for @revenuecat.com’s #shipaton 😻 It’s based on something he’s spent many hours on during car rides over the past year 🚗 #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #iOSDev #ParentDev

Sweden 🇸🇪 has some weird restaurants…

With the kids at summer camp, it is time to assemble my new T-Rex #Lego set 🦖🧱 and watch some #WWDC25 videos 😊 And yes, I tore open all the bags and sorted them by color and size, like a mad man 😅

On my flight to @deepdishswift.com in April, I began prototyping a new UI architecture for @appdab.app 🚀 A flexible foundation to fit all the features I plan to ship over the next months 🤩 A few weeks later, at #WWDC25, Apple unveiled its new Liquid Glass design - perfect timing ❤️

I feel a bit sherlocked 😅 heyaiku.app Snippet from #WWDC25 session "Meet the Foundation Models framework" ❤️

Glass-Dab! 😍 Spent less than an hour retracing the stick figure in the @appdab.app icon, dropping it into Icon Composer and tweaked some settings 🚀 Any thoughts? #WWDC25 #iOS26 #macOSTahoe

My Swift library for the App Store Connect API, Bagbutik, now has support for the newest version released at #WWDC25 🎉 Also the library now builds on Android 🤖 github.com/MortenGreger...

Love that the Eurovision has a song about @appdab.app 🥰

Just got the @helm-app.bsky.social iOS beta email, and I’m honored to see my name hardcoded into the app 🥰 But no worries, I always use @appdab.app to ship my apps on iOS too 🚀😉

Over night Apple broke the link to the OpenAPI Spec for the App Store Connect API so it redirects to the Sample Code Library... 😬 It breaks my automatic monitoring and regeneration of Bagbutik (bagbutik.dev). Reported as FB17592618, if anybody from Apple sees this 🙏

Celebrating my 37th trip around the sun! 🎉 To share the joy, grab 3 months of @appdab.app Pro (with Intelligence) on me 🎁 and ship apps faster! 🚀 Click the link to redeem and repost to spread the birthday magic! ❤️ apps.apple.com/redeem/?ctx=... Remember first app is always free 🥰

Back home after an amazing trip to Chicago and @deepdishswift.com conference 🍕 I did some sightseeing and soaked up the great atmosphere at a Chicago Cubs game on Saturday ⚾️ Then followed a few good days of gaining new knowledge, and reconnecting with old (and new) friends from around the world 🥰

@appdab.app 2025.3 is out with In-App Events support! 📆 Perfect for showcasing events like @deepdishswift.com 2025. Next update brings AppDab Intelligence ✨ for translating text & generating images. @joshdholtz.com, should I prep for 2026, or are we waiting for the last day again? 😉

Finally in Chicago ⭐️⭐️⭐️ And my @appdab.app update has been approved while I was flying 🤩 Now to catch the hotel shuttle 🚌, hang out with other @deepdishswift.com attendees 🍕 and preparing the release the update 🎉

Walking through Frankfurt Airport, and my Apple Watch asks me: “Are you doing an outdoor walking workout?” 🚶‍♂️ (I know I am late to the game, just got my first Apple Watch last year 😅)

The obligatory selfie with the LEGO pilot at the airport before departure 🛫 On my way to @deepdishswift.com in Chicago 🤓 And the weather looks just as changeable as usual… 😅
