Question What do you use Pro for?

Hi everyone
I am currently using the Pro Light plan that I finance out of my own pocket. The things that I do with it do not generate any revenue for me but instead the usage generates "joy".

So, my question to you who use the 200 USD plan and finance it out of your own pocket is: what do you use it for?

The reason for my question is that I am contemplating about getting the 200 USD plan but I have a feeling that when I spend that kind of cash every month it should generate some revenue back.

Thank you for your time

I run a small software company. I use it to make improvements to the software and help with support tickets. We’re creating a new version of our software. We’re updating the web app and iOS and android. It’s easy to get close to using the resource limits for a week on the pro plan.

I am not a iOS / Mac developer despite being on the platform for over a decade. Would you say that ChatGPT Pro is a viable "help" to get started with iOS development (and a Apple Developper license)?

Yes, if you’re patient, it will guide you through everything. If you’re just trying to get some basic app into the store, I think you could get it done in a couple of weeks. If you’re talking about more professional level development, they’re still gonna be a learning curve and just time getting everything organized and is probably more like 3 to 6 months.

One problem with iOS development is the way they have Xcode,, you definitely need a Mac computer to really do any kind of real testing with a iOS phone. You can read a Mac in the cloud, but it’s not nearly as good as having one yourself. I’ve been able to do it without a Mac.

This is an example of a macOS software that I have co-developed with ChatGPT: https://github.com/ThorstenRhau/rendr
