Let us step through the OS code in Xcode so identifying internal bugs can happen faster.\\nMicrosoft Symbol Server Info.aspx#using_the_microsoft_symbol_server)\\n\\n\\nMore communication and outreach with the app developer community\\n\\n\\nStep 1, Open up the Radar system\\nNewsletter / Community Group / Etc.\\nApp camps for girls\\nGroups support and sponsorships\\n\\n\\nImprove on the App Stores\\n\\n\\nNolan rants about technical underpinning of App Stores and why it will take a top down approach to fix it\\nMonetary split\\n\\n\\nIndie devs are struggling. How about giving the devs a larger percentage of the cut, 10/90 (currently 30/70)\\nHow about a sliding scale\\n\\n\\n1 to 10000 (10/90)\\n10001 to 100000 (20/80)\\n100001+ (30/70)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPermit subscriptions and trials\\nTrials a far more effective than \\u201cDemos\\u201d or Free versions. Permit the customer to become attached to a product that when the trial ends they realize they want to pay for it.\\nPermit upgrade pricing\\n\\n\\nDevs can\\u2019t just support the same version forever, permit them to discount the cost of upgrading from a previous version so they maintain brand loyalty\\nExample: Version 1 was $10, Version 2 comes out and is $10. Having Version 2 be an upgrade from Version 1 for $5 would really be a value to loyal customers.\\n\\n\\nPermit devs to address their customers\\u2019 concerns/reviews\\n\\n\\nExample 1:\\n\\n\\nCustomer: Hey! The app doesn\\u2019t install when I download it, what a junk app!\\nDev: I\\u2019m sorry that you aren\\u2019t able to install! All installs are managed by Apple and a failure to install usually means there is an issue with the new version of the app propagating through Apple\\u2019s CDNs and it will take some time for the CDNs to hydrate properly for the install to work. Here\\u2019s an Apple support email address for you to share your concern!\\n\\n\\nExample 2:\\n\\n\\nCustomer: Hey! I can\\u2019t log in anymore! I hate this app!\\nDev: I\\u2019m sorry to hear that, can you provide me your login name or email and I\\u2019ll be happy to look into this for you.\\n\\n\\nGood suggestion. The Google Play Store lets you do this.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPicks\\n\\nNolan\\n\\n\\nWhy 2015 Was a Great Year for Humity\\nThe developing world is the future of the internet\\nNetwork Link Conditioner\\n\\n\\n\\nJohn\\n\\n\\nVideos from Function Swift conference\\nBrowserTV'
