I guess the problem starts with knowledge and not knowing what's all involved under the hood.
if an app looks simple a lot of people think it's simple at the code side aswell.
if you look at the requests from yesterday it mentions several times "simple" "very simple" etc,
if it really is why doesn't he make it himself then and keep the investment?
Altho the offer is nice, some would request that for $50 or so
also keep in mind that if you offer to upload an app to your own apple account that the app gets lost when your dev account expires.
so doing a "few hours of code app" and upload it there for $75 all in is too little knowing that you need to pay $99 each year to keep it online.
