You’re right, not realistically. And to be exact, Xcode 9 was launched on 9/19 (10 weeks ago). How long it takes to support iPhone X is beyond me.

At that point the work can start on it. Depending on other work that might already be ongoing for apps and schedules that are in place and resources that are allocated and all that, it's probably not likely that everyone would jump on it at the very moment or even for a little while, and once they do, there's still the design that needs to happen for it, the development, the testing, the tweaking, perhaps some sort of limited external testing even (depending on the app), so that can take some more time.You’re right, not realistically.

It's certainly not to say that it wouldn't be great if everyone can just jump on it at the very moment that they can and have all that's needed already planned out and the resources dedicated to knock it out right away, but in the sense of how much of the business world works, that's often enough not the reality.
What gives? App Store shows that Google Maps is up to date, no pending update, yet it is not full screen on my X.
Make sure it’s version 4.41 released today? If not, I would just delete and reinstall since I noticed they skipped 4.40 for some reason...
What reason? That apps will get updated for it soon enough with many already updated and those that aren't still being usable just fine?
If no one buys first gen hardware and a product fails then you never get an improved second gen.
Full X support? Can Google Maps now display an Emoji layer taken from Face ID? To show us what other users doing while moving around.
Yep, that did it ... had to delete the app and reinstall it. Strange, by all indications it was up to date but deleting and reinstalling is what actually updated it.
I found that even after updating the black bars were still at the top and the bottom.
What I then did was, deleted the app, and then re-downloaded it. After doing this, the app was full screen
I am seeing some issues with this update. The compass arrow is very sluggish to update to change in direction. This adds to the existing trouble that I am having with GPS in general (I am on my third iPhone X now);
Anyone else having issues with the GPS on the iPhone X/8+/8?

No, but a company with the resources of Google probably could have had updates ready at launch by beginning to work on the updates at that time. I think that's all he means.
Bottom area does not provide enough space for Home Bar though. Doesn't follow Apple's guidelines for leaving space there.
The entire point of GPS applications is to route you using either the shortest or fastest route. You really can't complain about this at all since that is the whole point of the app.
Yeah, wow, had to wait a whole 3 weeks for updates to come out. The horror!

Well, the theoretic/optimistic "could" is somewhat different than a realistic one: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ort-for-iphone-x.2092174/page-2#post-25539047
