ImprovedTube for Safari

[TienTim]

May I publish this ImprovedTube on the App Store as a Safari extension on Mac and iPad?

[ImprovedTube]

welcome @TienTim! can install it manually today: #494 . We should especially financially. And make it free to test to fix bugs but later self-sustain by some subscription fee and accepting Apple as the money, ,even they keep a lot of commission, but still bring users who will accelerate our whole development. Yet for today hardly keeping up with the chrome version, feeling responsible for the 500 000 users who are there already (while App Store might take a while to reach many users. Yet double digit % of our users are using Chrome on MacOS)

@ImprovedTube Can I distribute it for free to test?

[ImprovedTube]

Hi :) @TienTim
one by one or with an app store account?

[TienTim]

@ImprovedTube Of course, people who want to install the app from the app store, no matter that it is free or priced on their Mac, need to have an Apple ID. That's all what they need beside of the OS version requirement, the next steps of the installation are quite simple, even the automatic updates in the future.

[ImprovedTube]

of course

🥳 yes, sorry (many people in our repo stay users-only)

Whats your account? @TienTim Wonderful, publishing a free pre-version would have been better/ all the meantime,

• since we can transfer it anytime at need apple.com/appstore/transfering-an-app

  • and/or depending your future commitment you could even manage a paid subscription version too (that is in case you are even enrolled to the lower 15% fee for small sellers, while forwarding all earnings to big charity against hunger and/or to funding our bugs (through bug bounties with issuehunt or gitcoin or so)
    
    (as said in Safari #494,) a long term optimum, might be a free tester-link in the repo etc., but small subscripion fee in the store as long as we have no funds and as long as there is extreme poverty

• Thank you!

@TienTim 👋

[TienTim]

@ImprovedTube Do you mean my Apple ID that is also my developer account? Or do you just want the app ID in the App Store?

[ImprovedTube]

@TienTim i understood you are volunteering to manage our project's AppStore presence for the time being.

[TienTim]

Of course. I'm glad to volunteer for this task.

hi again,

• just had a look and was surprised you uploaded it before already? 😮 when? (/Did you first come here to pass appstore review/copyright?😁 thought we'd discuss more / on discord or anything.) You participated in onlinejudge.org competitions before? ( https://github.com/TienTim/Online-Judge )

  • Why didnt you post a (free) link here first of all? in Safari #494
    • Price: $0.99?
  • you published (only) one more app? (an adblocker subset of features, called "Enrich Y-uTube experience"?)
  • yay, custom preview images🎈(besides when different to webstore, it looks like a pirated version)
  • "Version 1.0?" (should use the same version numbers as our repo. If anything was fixed for Safari specifically, it might also be better for everyone)
  • "Improved Tube" We only used two titles yet to be found "improvedTube" hard to remember or 'Improve Youtube!' (more descriptive/intuitive)

[TienTim]

• This app already had the copyright acknowledgement inside. I published about one week, it's initial free. I just tried to solve some dozen questions of onlinejudge.org .
• I posted a (free) link in Safari #494
• I just tried to price it on the day before yesterday it to see how peope interested in it. It's free now (take about one day to update price).
• I published one more app that is my own work, so far I do not use any line code of ImprovedTube.
• Is the preview images ok?
• "Version 4.0.1" in app now
• You cannot change its name from "Improved Tube" to 'Improve Youtube!' because of metadata policy violation, YouTube is a favourited app that you cannot include it in your app name or subtitle.
