Hi All
Just wondered what response other developers were getting
I have my app for sale for $1.99
8 sales to date from launch
How is everyone else doing?
Sales....
Zero idea whatsoever because iTunes Connect isn't splitting out tvOS from iOS in the figures. Oh, and Saturday's still haven't shown up.
Is yours a universal app or just TVOS?
Mine is also Tier 2. 15 sales for Friday and Saturday. Par-tay 😐
Wow whats the app called?
31 free downloads, zero sales (well, 1 by a friend that was testing for me.)
So yeah.... sigh.
(Mind you, I do know how to develop games, as an earlier game yielded 14M downloads, and plenty dollars.)

Universal
The big conundrum of this App Store:
It's really ashame that nobody is getting the customary "App Store Bump" by getting in early into the app store, except the featured apps guys.
Here is the difference this time around:
1. Zero install base of the device.
2. All of the scantly stocked categories were hidden, so the press won't be crying about an anemic App Store.
This also has me assuming that when they finally make the categories visible; Apps accepted on the first days will show up last
on the list. So, there will likely be zero "face time" in the store for the early submitters. So, you will likely remain invisible.
So, I guess the real reward was getting the free TV device:)
I sold one copy of my little Tier 1 game ("Eye Hate You") on Sunday. Par-tay?
So far for me Free Games Downloaded since launch = 80
Paid game( Paid Tier 1) = 17
Lucky I guess but still only buy's me a coffee and some gone off cookie.
Par-tay!
Oh in case you lot have missed it Macrumors has a story on the full list of Apps & Game.
Much better than me.
Congrats.
Did you get featured?
No not featured but I would love to know what sort of numbers the featured people got?
Also anyone know how many Apple TV's was sold ?
I have as many as 6 sales of a tier one-priced game since Friday. I say "as many as" because I went the universal route, thus have no actual data on tvOS specifically. Whatever percentage of those sales actually happened on Apple TV was (briefly) enough to get me to number 145 overall in the highly suspect charts pieced together by slidetoplay.com.
As an afterthought, maybe that's the issue preventing categories and browsing from being available... At this stage, even an individual sale has enough power to completely reorder the charts, at least for a short time. It's the same effect you see when you your app gets downloaded in some tiny country with a hundred iPhone users. One sale might bump you from unranked straight into the top ten.
