Quick Real Talk on the iOS App 📱
Building for Apple was supposed to cost 300,000+ PKR in Mac and iPhone hardware alone. But ingenuity always wins 🫡. I figured out ways around it on my setup, built the app, and cleared Apple’s developer verification (shoutout to Mr. Eduardo from Apple, Apple was so thorough that bas Tim Cook ka mera MDCAT roll number mangna reh gya tha 😭).
The code is 100% finished. The only barrier left is Apple's $99/year (~32,000 PKR with taxes) developer fee. As someone preparing for MDCAT alongside you, that is a heavy out-of-pocket hit 💸.
BeambePrep doesn't take AIPAC 😜 (Academy Investors Pushing Awful Contracts), 31-page academy buyouts, or commercial cartel money. And since getting laid off recently cut my main income source 🫠, every rupee comes from my own pockets.
I am the biggest user of this platform with 500+ hours spent studying on it. If you guys on iPhone or iPad will actually use the native iOS app, I will pay the fee out of pocket and drop it on the App Store immediately.
