    The App Store review queue must be massive :/ We're headed back to the good ol days of 2 week waits
  • @nikitabier Nikita Bier on x
    iOS developers: How long is App Review taking for everyone these days? It is now taking longer to get our app approved than it is to build the actual features.
  • @noahpinion Noah Smith on x
    Buahahahaha DIE INTERNET DIE DIE uh I mean sure, we can solve this by getting AI agents to do the reviews, no biggie
  • @michael_kove @michael_kove on x
    @shiri_shh Apple store should be pay-to-play for EACH published paid app. $50-100/per app. This will quickly cleanup the slop. Proportional to the cost of the app.

    @shiri_shh everyone trying reach $10000 mrr by literally vibe coding dog shi apps stripe implemented apps are not allowed in iOS right? mark this app store will ban ai apps in few months
  • @elonmusk Elon Musk on x
    iOS App Review delays are getting ridiculous
  • @paularambles @paularambles on x
    vibe coding and its consequences have been a disaster for the app review team
  • @austen Austen Allred on x
    App Store review is one of the first columns of the software ecosystem to just completely buckle under the weight of AI. It almost makes building apps not worth it until Apple gets its stuff in order.
  • @flyosity Mike Rundle on x
    @nikitabier it's extremely slow these days, lotta iOS devs on here been complaining as well
  • @_eseidel Eric Seidel on x
    All the largest apps (TikTok, FaceBook, YouTube, etc.) use “code push” / OTA to self update. And now there is one more reason — your real business shouldn't be stuck behind the slop-pileup. Thankfully Flutter apps now have a great solution with @shorebirddev

    I do not give a toot what the cause is; for 30% of gross sales Apple can figure it the hell out.  [embedded post]

    5 days Apple review? I mean wtf Apple
  • r/iOSProgramming r on reddit
    Is the app review process just massively backlogged or something?
  • r/appledevelopers r on reddit
    did apple lower down its review process speed by a huge margin or it is only for me ?

    put another way, “there will finally be some interesting apps on the app store, which has been effectively dead and lacked innovation for a decade” [embedded post]
