  • ASCelerate: A Swift CLI for App Store Connect

    If you’ve ever shipped an iOS app, you know the ritual. Open Xcode, archive, wait, open App Store Connect in the browser, click through a dozen screens to set up localizations, upload screenshots one display size at a time, attach the build, fill in What’s New, and finally hit Submit. For one app, it’s tedious.…

  • W-8BEN-E instructions for Apple and Google

    I wasn’t able to find good instructions to fill out W-8BEN-E form for Apple Developer and Google AdMob/AdSense. There were some partial information on different sources, but all information was vague especially for part III. For those in a similar situation, I am sharing simple instructions that they will be able to follow easily. I…

  • Apple ve Google için W-8BEN-E yönergeleri

    Apple Developer ve Google AdMob/AdSense için W-8BEN-E formunun doldurulması için düzgün bir kaynak bulamıyordum. Farklı kaynaklarda parça parça bilgiler olsa da, özellikle bölüm III’te ne yapacağımız ortada kalmıştı. Benzer durumda kalan geliştiriciler için kolayca takip edecekleri basit bir yönerge sunuyorum. Ayrıca Türkiye ve Almanya için ek bilgiler de vereceğim. To access the English version of…

  • 10 years with Qrafter

    I released Qrafter 10 years ago today. I have been working on QR Codes for nearly 15 years. The first time I did something semi useful with them, I created a download QR Code for an amateur theme for my Nokia E70 in 2006. I was fascinated with the possibilities back then. There was a…

  • Password Generator for macOS released

    Today I have released Password Generator for macOS, a small utility app that lets you generate strong random passwords with unlimited combinations. While here are many password generator apps out there, none of them would let you add separators to the generated passwords, which is a definite requirement for me. So I decided to write…

  • vCard Getter development stopped

    Before iOS 7, there was no way to open a .vcf file when using Safari on iOS, so I wrote a small app called vCard Getter to help with that. It was able to fetch the file and add the contacts in it to your address book. But with iOS 7, Apple finally did the…

  • Qrafter and Qrafter Pro reached 6 million downloads

    I haven’t been able to update my blog for more than a year! But that does not mean that I neglected Qrafter. With releases approximately a month apart, I tried to add more features and fix bugs if there were any. And with your appreciation, Qrafter and Qrafter Pro reached a combined download count of…

  • Qrafter and Qrafter Pro reached 3 million downloads

    More than 2 months before its second birthday, Qrafter -and its sister app Qrafter Pro- reach 3 million combined downloads. I am glad to be the developer of one of the most successful QR Code apps on iOS and hope to see it help boost your productivity for many more years, continuing to thrive with…

  • Qrafter and Qrafter Pro 6.1 for iPhone and iPad now available

    Qrafter and Qrafter Pro 6.1 are now available for download on the App Store. This version came a little too soon after 6.0, but I found some performance issues with the responsiveness of the camera view, so I wanted to optimize it quickly to make it much more responsive. Also, I updated the vCard parser,…

  • Qrafter and Qrafter Pro reach version 6.0

    Qrafter and Qrafter Pro 6.0 were just approved by Apple. This version drops iPhone 3G and iOS 4.2.1 and earlier support because of restrictions in Apple’s development tools, but with this change it gained iPhone 5 screen support. Also, it lays a new foundation to the scanner framework, which will let it scan many more…
