According to https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/ in-app Apple Pay does not work with Apple Watch.
Re:Stripe – Apple Pay on Tuesday October 21, 2014 @10:37AM (#8487538)
Actually iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus can all do Apple Pay with the Apple Watch.

I've only heard about 5s supporting Apple Pay with Apple Watch.

Mac Mini
I don't like when apps put badges on the icon that don't go away but otherwise I like it.

Big Nerd Ranch has a great book on iOS programming. If you're in Austin, I'm doing a intro to iOS class in the next month.

Find a business owner that needs web development done that doesn't have time to do it herself or knows a little bit less about it than you.

You can charge that business owner now. Any language will work and there are trade offs for each language.

24 million hours at 20KH/sec nets you $6.80 at current difficulty and price.
I subscribe to objc.io, iosdevweekly.com and nshipster.com.
I used promo code E46J6WR73MPR

It's a good looking app. Unfortunately you can't review a product after you use a promo code.

Re:Ask HN: Paid app as open-source on Monday October 07, 2013 @11:06PM (#6512792)
Yes you can open source a paid app. The licensing of the source you release just has to be compatible with the App Store licensing. If you go with a MIT license you'll be good.
Re:How Much To Charge for iOS development on Sunday October 06, 2013 @08:51PM (#6506060)
I build iOS apps for businesses and have to set and justify prices for project all the time. I also started an web design company when I was a sophomore in high school and it would have been great having someone advise me on pricing back then so I will gladly help you. Send me an email and we'll figure out how much the app is worth to the law firm and what you should charge them for the app. My email is david . olesch at gmail.
Re:Ask HN: What iOS 7 framework should I build? on Sunday September 29, 2013 @10:15PM (#6467442)
A PFQueryCollectionViewController is on my to do list.

If you are familiar with Parse.com's iOS framework it would be like a PFQueryTableViewController (https://parse.com/tutorials/parse-query-table) except the controller would show the cells in a UICollectionView instead of in a UITableView.

I would love to work on it together with someone. Here's my github https://github.com/davidolesch if you want to connect.

Ask HN: are mobile apps the Next Big Thing for business SaaS?

When Facebook publicized their IPO one of the main risk factors [1] they had to declare was the difficulty of monetizing mobile.A year later Facebook Mobile makes up 41% of their revenue [2]. Is Facebook an outlier or have other companies seen similar improvements? What about B2B SaaS companies - should they invest heavily into mobile?Jason Lemkin thinks mobile is the next big thing for...

Re:Ask HN: I want to go from 0 to iOS Developer on Sunday September 29, 2013 @05:36PM (#6466615)
I started iOS development 2 years ago with a good understanding of programming but no objective c experience. After picking up a copy of IOS Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide I was able to get my first app into the App Store within 3 months.

If you are looking for video courses I've done the Lynda.com iOS development course and highly recommend it.

Re:Paid app is better or free app is better as your first app on Friday September 27, 2013 @09:37AM (#6456907)
It is difficult to sell an app that doesn't have reviews. I recommend setting it to free until you get some review.

Re:Ask HN: What is the best way to get my iOS app developed? on Tuesday September 17, 2013 @12:31PM (#6400257)
If you can't build it yourself and you don't have the money to pay someone to build you will need to find someone that can build it or has the money to have it built.

A good place to do that is at an event like 3 Day Startup (http://3daystartup.org). I'm a iOS developer, but one of the 3 co-founder on our 3DS team isn't a developer and our company wouldn't be where it is now without him.

I'll have one I don't need anymore when the new iPhone comes out.
