Which one earns more money: free iOS app or free iPhone app?

In summary,-Both the free iOS app and the free iPhone app are offered through the itunes store, but the iPhone app makes more money. You need a developer account to create the app information in itunes connect and upload the app via Apple Application Loader, and then wait 5 days for it to be reviewed. After the app is approved, you need to purchase in-app upgrades or ads to make money.

Just read what is there. Apple (and Google) document pretty much every single comma of monetization, we are not lawyers. You wanted to make a free app, now you need micro-transactions, phishing (I did not type that), ads or something else to get money from it.

Suggesting "* for Dummies" never sounds right. A friend almost got fired because of this.

Should I learn Objective-C for developing iOS game app?
 
  • #16
It seems by far the most common choice. Although I really think that there are alternatives, coding for iOS or Android is not completely language agnostic. You need to pick one that has a big enough user base and that is well supported. It basically narrows down to C# (MS), Java (Google) and O-C (Apple).

That's the sort of company that makes a bad employer. He might want to think about moving up in the world.

It is important to carefully consider the target audience and platform before deciding which type of app to develop.
