We normally focus on business strategies on AF Chats, but this month we've got something a bit different for you.

This month Ariel sat down with Kosta Eleftheriou, an app developer who's on a quest to uncover scams on the App Store, after being a target of one himself.

We talk about:

  • Kosta's experience of having his app copied, including marketing materials with his name, and beating him in downloads
  • What's an App Store "scam" and how you can identify them yourself
  • Examples of scams Kosta has uncovered that Apple has taken down
  • And more!

FYI - In our next AF Chat we'll be hosting Joe Cieplinski for our annual recap of WWDC 2021. Keep an eye on your inbox for an invite.
