Still a few somewhat big features left before I can release this project. Payments is one of them. I think this will be my first subscription app. My guess is it’ll require a non-negligible amount of changes and testing with every major iOS release, and to make that sustainable, subscriptions feel like the right model. Looking forward to diving into the subscription APIs in StoreKit… though I’ve heard they can be a bit daunting 😅

    Torn between going with Sign in with Apple, or chasing a secure no-signup way to associate push tokens with a user’s devices using CloudKit (a la https://www.swiftjectivec.com/how-to-use-icloud-without-really-using-icloud/). Part of me really doesn’t want any kind of account in the app, even if it’s optional or delayed. But I also want something that’s secure and maintainable… which is exactly what Sign in with Apple promises to be. Trade-offs everywhere. Curious how others have approached this.
