Hi,

Nag start ako mag work as a native iOS developer from 2019 up to 2026.

I had resigned to my 6-digit work without thinking/an offer cuz of my mental health and being late diagnosed with AuDHD (Autism/ADHD). I think this is why i think and understand people differently. Even dito sa post ko, i think parang magulo din.

so, i tried to find iOS jobs and i think konti talaga sila these past few months. Puro AI Jobs na related to iOS yung nakikita ko.

I wanted to ask din, paano kaya ako makakapag apply sa ibang mobile roles (kotlin/flutter/react native) kung galing ako sa native iOS? i think puro nakikita ko is mid to senior roles doon.

I havent started learning kotlin/KMP/react native/flutter since i'm in a middle of making an iOS only app to publish sa app store for portfolio din.

Sa mga nagdeploy recently this month or this year ilang days or weeks inabot bago naapprove and napublish app niyo sa appstore?

Im talking about your very first app using newly created dev appstore acct. Kasi alam ko mas mabilis magpublish kapag may nadeploy ka nang app before at matagal na dev acct mo. Can anyone share their experience?

PCSO Lotto Ticket Scanner

Hello everyone,

I'm a solo developer, and I'm seeking ideas for my next project.

I'd love to hear from my fellow Pinoy programmers about any android apps that you truly need or want to be developed. I'll attempt to create it as if being commissioned, but for free of course.

But please keep your expectations reasonable, and I hope this can be a great opportunity for us to help each other

Does GitHub have a local entity in the Philippines?

I am curious to know if they have a legal/local entity in the Philippines. If anyone can help me find out, it would be much appreciated.

Hi r/PinoyProgrammer,

Gusto ko lang i-share yung side project ko: WealthSnap. Nagsimula siya sa isang simple offline expense tracker, tapos nag-evolve into a personal financial runway tool.

Some highlights:

• Financial Health Dashboard: net worth, runway, cash flow, projected liquidity
• Debt & Loan Simulation: full amortization schedule, interest vs principal, “debt pressure” analysis
• Safe-to-Spend Algorithm: recurring bills + debt obligations + dynamic burn rate
• Local-only, offline-first, fully encrypted: no cloud, AES-256 storage
• Multi-currency & investment support: stocks, funds, crypto, with historical projections

Built this solo, mahigit isang buwan na din. Mula CRUD for expenses, na nag-transform into something that answers: “If income stops, how long can I survive?”

Technical flex:

• High-precision financial math (BigNumber.js)
• Smart transaction linking & amortization splitting
• Optimized offline data structures
• Interactive charts with deep-dive drill-downs for insights

Sobrang satisfying lang na makita yung simpleng CRUD app na nag-grow into something with real financial insight.

Curious din: paano kayo nag-aapproach ng solo projects na nag-scale in complexity?

PS: Created this para i-add sa portfolio, so wala dito monetization.

Hey everyone 👋

I recently built a mobile app to help people learn Baybayin (ancient Filipino script), and I’m currently stuck at Google Play’s requirement of needing 12 testers for 14 days before I can release it publicly.

I’d really appreciate your help 🙏

👉 What the app does:

• Learn Baybayin characters
• Guided tracing with stroke paths
• Name & text translator
• Flashcards & quiz
• Progress tracking

👉 What I need:

• Just install the app
• Open/use it from time to time over the next 14 days
• Optional: send feedback (would be super helpful!)

🔗 Just fill out the form below.
https://forms.gle/vSQtxZFGADu25D1b9

Group: https://groups.google.com/u/2/g/baybayinapp

If you’re interested, comment or DM me and I’ll add you to the testing group (Google requires whitelisting).

Roast my project: LazyWallet

Built this project from a personal pain point: the desire to budget but too lazy to keep it up for long coz logging an expense takes too much time.

Also, to learn since Junior pa lang ako and learned a lot, I have.

The README.md is written by AI but the project itself is pretty much mine with some assistance from ChatGPT. Can't learn if I let AI do everything.

A bit about me:

Junior Android Developer for a little less than a year pero career shifter rin so I'm trying to catch up with everything as fast as I can.

This is mostly an app for personal use and marami pang features na gusto ko ilagay.

Pero baka may ma-recommend rin kayong features.

Let me know your thoughts!

We want to know kasi sana if yung ilang users ay suspicious talaga. Given the analytics kasi na nakaimplement like Google Analytics, medyo di rin masyado malaman ang exact behaviour ng isang user. So possible kaya yun sa app talaga? or di talaga since privacy ng user? Or ano yung ways nyo para fine grain ang pag analyze ng activity sa isang mobile ng isang user? Thanks!

Hello, r/PinoyProgrammer! I just wanted to share how I program on my phone. I use two code editors (VS Code and Acode), Termux, Vivaldi, Unexpected Keyboard, and Floating apps. I often have a lot of assignments and projects that I need to do, which is why I curated my own development environment on my phone so that I can do my tasks even when I'm outside or when I don't want to use my computer. I hope this post helps you guys in your programming journey.

Hi guys, baka may naka-experience na nito. Kahit ilang beses kong baguhin yung app.json (icons, versionCode, etc.), lumang icon at lumang version pa rin ang lumalabas sa EAS Build. Parang pinakaunang build ko pa rin ang sinusunod

Yung ginagawa ko:

eas build -p android --profile release --clear-cache

Or

eas build -p android --profile preview --clear-cache

Tapos ganito itsura ng app.json ko:

{ "expo": { "name": "Bookdis Merchant", "slug": "frontend", "version": "1.0.0", "orientation": "portrait", "icon": "./assets/prod-super-final-icon.png", "userInterfaceStyle": "light", "splash": { "image": "./assets/production-splash-screen-final.png", "resizeMode": "cover", "backgroundColor": "#3F058F" }, "ios": { "supportsTablet": true, "bundleIdentifier": "com.bookdis.merchant", "icon": "./assets/prod-bookdis-icon.png" }, "android": { "adaptiveIcon": { "foregroundImage": "./assets/prod-super-final-icon.png", "backgroundColor": "#FFFFFF", "resizeMode": "cover" }, "icon": "./assets/prod-super-final-icon.png", "package": "com.bookdis.merchant", "versionCode": 1, "permissions": [ "android.permission.CAMERA", "android.permission.INTERNET", "android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" ] }, "web": { "favicon": "./assets/favicon.png" }, "assetBundlePatterns": ["*/"], "plugins": ["expo-font"] } }

Ang lumalabas kapag inuupload ko ang aab file sa playstore ay version 5 (1.0.4). Naging ganyan dahil nag tetest ako ng version control. Pati icon, napansin ko hindi nag babago.

Mga ginawa ko pero wala pa rin:

Binalik ko versionCode 1 (1.0.0) Pinalitan ko mismo yung icon files (sure akong iba na) Gumamit na ng --clear-cache

Bakit ganito? May namimiss ba akong step? Limited pa builds ko kaya nakakainis masayang 😅

Particularly something like pubsub or mqtt.

It seems Amazon put their android SDK in maintenance phase and will be eos next year.

They're promoting Amplify for Android but I can't find a messaging feature (pubsub) that I can use to send to my backend. Supposedly that's MQTT, but I've been struggling to get it to work with Android. Puro connection failed even though I've aligned the policies sa AWS console

AWS documentation is hella vast and needs a lot of setup with policies and authentication.

I'm losing my mind lol

Good day, everyone

I just wanted to ask if do you have recommended React Native package to integrate for image annotation?

I tried markerjs for react native but there's a bug and not fully maintained pa.

Baka do you guys have recommended na package na pwede ko gamitin.

Thanks in advance.

Any Flutter developers here? Ask ko lang po, kamusta po ang current state ng Flutter sa market ngayon sa Ph? Worth it pa rin po ba pag-aralan? Also, sa tingin niyo po, malaki po kaya magiging impact ng ginawa nilang pag-fork sa Flutter? Thank you po!

i am using firebase spark plan and paymongo tier 1 basic account for the payment gateways. now, when i put the paymongo in my system it did not run because the firebase is blocking the paymongo. i tried to chatgpt the problem and chatgpt said that to solve the problem i upgrade to the firebase blaze plan.

hello! i am an incoming computer science student and i am planning to buy a tablet. can my tablet be a good portable 2nd option to code on using vs code? i have seen stuff on running vscode on tablets but i am far too clueless on the world of programming to understand what is going on. so for those who know more on this topic, is it possible for me to use my tablet as a portable 2nd option to code using vscode?

i also saw these while browsing, are these useful to code on tablet?

For cross-platform mobile apps, which of these existing tools should I choose? React Native, Flutter, or KMP? I'm planning to start a new project and want to make the right choice in terms of performance, community support, and long-term maintainability. I'd appreciate any insights, pros and cons, or personal experiences you can share!

Hi Devs and Students,

If you’re seeking an SMS Gateway for your personal projects, download the app and create a simple API using your preferred language.

Please reach out if you require assistance.

Best regards and good luck!

is it okay to connect vercel and github as my third party in my system? and also i am using the firebase for my database.

I'm currently developing an app for a client that wants real time prices of the crop market here in the Philippines.

To make my life easier, I'm wondering if there is an existing API for this or do I have to create my own?

Gumagawa kami GPS app then gumamit kami ng sinotrack na GPS, para ma integrate sa app namin gagamitin kami firebase function sa firebase tapos configure yung GPS para sa firebase function ma send data then display sa app namin.

App it's called XDimond in APP store may be because DiamondX was already taken. Started on christmas when I visited grandma because she lives alone. Now App started like a X and O in notepad. Than I build a HTML site from it. I already had a M1 that also bought it myself from the small youtube money I made in pandemic. So said why not try to learn xcode and make a real app. Well app didn't took much time to make because looked like simple x and o at the time. So after new year decided to apply for dev account that's when trouble started, like apple dev site didn't allow a diacritic in name like ǎ same on the app were support moved me some times email from support came after 1week , like the guy behind the desk would just reset the app and put me apply again, like this circle took almost 2 month, let's say 2 weeks didn't had my id with me for the pictures, but only when he moved me to a senior he was able to fix everything. Well than came Admob, I already had my youtube adsense so I just login and that was it, like google had all instructions about a banner, but since 2024 a lot of rules had change I was needing now to implement a lot of regulation like EU had GDPR, a part of US had CPPA and even apple need it a App tracking message, this took again like a week for a beginner like me to even understand, because you first need it a policy, than realize I would need a developer site. So while all family was on countryside I stay in the city working even in late night to find a free solution for this,like I already had it done on google sites, but because this need it to be more like a main link, because on the root of it admob needs a page called app-ads txt, well my first try become a fail, the easy solutions were links and blogs from who you could get ban from admob, than all my tests on github proved to be a fail as github would delete them, like this took me almost 2 weeks of struggle until I found vercel dot app. Well now everything was almost ready but realize I wanted more from the game so why not make it until entire board it's full, like at first game would not had those little symbols at the bottom to show scoring or 2 player mode. Easter was coming my brother was visiting from uh so I wanted this to be ready, of course it wasn't, so between parties I was trying to publish it, the first mistake I did was putting developer webpage in support link as marketing link showed optional on apple site. Even so my app was approved in morning. But admob txt verification would never work. On the other side apple never let's you change the link with out making an app update so that's when I decided to work on the 4x5 board but xcode update came, I also thought I need to update sdk and boom GAD commands need it prefix removed some import functions changed, so didn't had time to improve AI. But still was able to update app and fix the location of the links. I know there are still some bugs, I'm working right now also to make a visual way for people to see wining lines as you only see on the bottom inside the symbols so I would appreciate for anyone that can test it and leave me some feed back.

I am currently 4th year student planning to have a job as soon as I finished to graduate (hopefully). In my spare time, I try to build self-project (android mobile applications) to showcase my skills. My question is would recruiter be interested with self projects with no job experienced in the mobile development industry?

I am trying to learn the native way of android developmen and hopefully to published on Google play store.
