The Reddit for Apple Developers

The short answer

What works here

  • On-topic discussion about Apple development

What gets posts removed

  • Unsolicited advertising or frequent promotional posts
  • Posting links or product pitches without disclosure
  • Cross-posting the same promotional content repeatedly

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No spam or excessive self-promotion

The rules limit promotional content and require disclosure when sharing your own work, so vendor posts should be restrained and transparent.

Stay on topic

Posts must relate to developing apps for Apple, so promotional content should be framed as relevant to Apple development (e.g., tools, libraries, SDK issues).
