The Internet is awash with people making the same claims you are, but where are the actual results that we can see and use? Where are all these supposed new programs that were only possible to make because of generative ai? The number of new apps in the app store is flat. Still getting the same amount in 2025 as in 2022.
App-store listing is a whole other animal. I don't care to go through all that just to share my app. I also don't care to resolve every technical issue others experience.
Every time I've thought about generating revenue by selling my apps, two thoughts come to mind: my code is not professional-grade, and the field is so competitive than within months a professional will likely create a better app so why pollute the web with something subpar.
The hacker on the street corner isn't distributing his "secret sauce" because it wouldn't meet standards, but it works well for him, and it was cheap/free.
Valid inquiry. In relative terms I'm the Indian on a street corner who hacks things together using tools professionally designed by others. Among the repos I've chosen to publicly share: https://github.com/sm18lr88
