As I was browsing through the lists of apps that TUAW team members bought in the opening days of the App Store, I was amazed at how many of these first-generation apps are still under active development. Yes, some apps have been shuttered, and some developers have departed the App Store, but a surprising number of indie devs are still going strong five years later.
We reached out to a few of these veteran coders and asked them how the App Store has changed in the past five years.
