Glad you put the word reasonably in italic. Because Apple has to review many thousands of apps each day, they block 1.25M a year. The public and devs demand these reviews to be quick.
Hey, there's about half a billion people unemployed people in the world and Apple has wads of cash.
Apple can't even claim
force majeure.
For all I care they can hire
all of them while they find a way to automate the job or renege on their promise.
I don't know why we are looking for excuses here.
You promise, you deliver.
Promise something you can't deliver?
Tough ****.
We
all know, anyway, that the App Store, while very handy in itself, is first and foremost a way to double down on Apple's control of customer hardware, so that's not even the point.
So the only conclusion is that the vast majority of apps have to be checked automatically. And only a very small percentage get additional manual checks.
So bad apps will unavoidably slip through.
Possibly.
Not my problem.
My problems are others. I solve them.
They pay me.
I use the money to buy an iPhone.
Now it's Apple's problem to make it work.
And, again, this is a
major one that all sorts of semi-automated procedures should have flagged.
"Document management app" gets renamed to "Facebook ad something something" and suddenly needs Facebook permissions?
==> Immediate re-review.
