Apple's App Store has been facing a deluge of 'vibe coding' submissions, with over 1000 apps being submitted every hour. This surge in app development, driven by faster development times, has created a flood of submissions, posing a challenge for Apple's review process. While Apple's recent introduction of stricter review guidelines is a step in the right direction, it may not be a comprehensive solution. The author suggests that Apple could create a new 'Airport' platform, similar to the TestFlight app, to provide a dedicated space for developers to share their small projects and tools, outside of the main App Store. This would allow for a discovery process and potentially expand the reach of these apps. Additionally, Apple could consider expanding the user limit on TestFlight and providing developers with more control over their app's distribution. The author concludes that a better distribution solution is needed to maintain the App Store's quality while accommodating small projects. The article also includes a list of favorite Apple accessories, such as Anker's MagSafe battery pack and Logitech's MX Master 4 mouse, as well as a mention of FTC guidelines.
