Fork my Stopwatch app for iOS. It makes just over $5/day, and I never did much work on it.

Completely open source, no real marketing.

Is there a way in iOS for one app to trigger the opening of another app? I was thinking more in an alarm clock situation but perhaps also in a timer situation. For example, "start my Spotify in 1 hour".
URL Schemes are the only way to communicate between apps. So to launch an app you'd need to know it's NSURL (for spotify it's "spotify") to build a URL and do: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:];
There are also App Extensions now, as of iOS8: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documenta...
Yes, you can use app URLs like APPNAME:// or use the new iOS8 framework for inter-app communication (Extensions).
That's $150 per month - average salary of an experienced full-time school teacher in Georgia (eastern Europe). And no, living costs are not that different from your place of living.
I will look into this, thanks for the reply :)
That's so bold! You're a good guy.
