WWDC is under way to much fanfare and as an Apple Developer something jumped out at me. Just yesterday at the WWDC, Tim Cook CEO of Apple talked about how much Apple has paid out to developers. The number is staggering, matching GDP of some countries. They paid out 10 Billion dollars and 5 billion in the past year which implies amazing growth. Now there is a catch. Just because you launch an app in the app store doesn’t mean you will be featured in the Fortune 500. More than likely you will lose money according to historical market principles. So if you’re good, have a good idea, have access to cost effective development, then you may very well make money. I do. Here are some slides that stand out.
