Not true. The majority of iOS devs I know make a decent revenue stream that involves making apps for the like of Fortune 500 companies and startups. Since they walk the company through the whole process of becoming a registered Apple iOS developer, you would never know the app was ghost-coded.
- amackera 16y agoExcept for a few edge cases this is the best way to make money on the App Store that I'm aware of (contracting to other companies).
- ergo98 16y agoSorry I should have been clearer. I'm talking about people selling their own products here. Yes, there is lots of money to be made in, essentially, consulting. That is true pretty much universally.
- wallflower 16y agoThanks for the clarification. Damn context always gets me - in real life too!
- bane 16y agoAre these typically free apps the consultants are developing? (Like say, Yelp's app).
- wallflower 16y agoIn almost every case, the apps are funded by the marketing budget and are always free apps to promote the organization or company's brand. It is in essence another marketing channel. There are also cases where a non-profit gets corporate sponsorship.
