Every year at WWDC, Apple introduces new built-in features that can render third-party apps obsolete - a phenomenon known as being "Sherlocked." This year, indie developers have faced the harsh reality of their apps being Sherlocked by Apple, leaving them scrambling to find a new niche in the market. Some of the Sherlocked apps this year include password managers, call recording apps, voice transcription tools, window tiling utilities, and more. While being Sherlocked can be a devastating blow to developers, there may be hope for some. By adding new features or offering greater flexibility than Apple's built-in features, some developers may be able to differentiate their apps and continue to attract customers. It's a tough market out there for indie developers, but with creativity and perseverance, they may be able to carve out a new path forward.
