Apple's App Review Process Now Takes as Little as Two Days

[TrueBlou]

It's not that sudden of a change, but I'm loving it. 🙂 It's been under 4 days since February according to the site. And under 8 days for most of a year. Though in my head it's still 2 weeks. :heh:

What? You don't like my games either 😀

I submitted an app update on wednesday afternoon and it was accepted thursday night around 1:30. Less than 14 hours. Didn't expect that!
I'm fine with the current model of an annual fee. Keeps the scriptkiddies and other stupid people away who would submit a lot of garbage in the appstore otherwise.

My latest app update submission got approved for Beta testing in 45 hours, counting since I submitted it.
Not bad at all.

Now, if they would only allow us to have our app star ratings roll over, rather than start all over every time we put out a 0.1 update.

I disagree. I think users should have a way to motivate app developers to improve their apps for the better (and to fix mistakes).

Welcome to post-peak iPhone. It's all downhill from here. The only reason for quicker review times is lower number of submissions. Apple has kept a constant app review team size since the beginning, as they always said they would. There's no other way to spin this fact. Most iOS apps are in "maintenance mode" now. Apple killed innovation by forcing their stupid policies on small developers to drive them out of business (family share, removal of discoverability). Now that the iOS platform "Apps Advantage" is gone due to Apple's own arrogance, iPhone market share is now on a downward trend as iPhone becomes just another smart phone. Cheaper will always win without a significant differentiation to justify higher cost.

In the beginning of the App Store, Apple put developer partners FIRST with attractive policies and a robust development environment because they needed to attract apps to the platform. As soon as they idiotically believed they were on top, they threw partners under the bus with draconian policy changes. Now the bus is out of innovation 'gas' because the cost and risk of bringing a new idea to the platform is now to high. ka-flush.

Check this out:
I submitted an app build today after midnight and got confirmation it was received at 12:52am.
At 1:59am I placed it for TestFlight distribution , and 30 seconds later, I got confirmation it got approved.

That seemed very impressive to me.

I can't wait for the resulting explosion of new crapware.

It's only fair. Nobody likes mine. 😉

Some people just don't know what they're missing, or have exceedingly bad taste. Although in their defence, my games are nothing to write home about 😀
