App Store Approval Team On Steroids? (Kidding)
By deans ~ October 2nd, 2009. Filed under: Observations.
I can’t help but wonder if the staff of the App Store Approval team has started boosting. Their recent productivity certainly seems to indicate some sort of performance enhancing agents (in a very good way). We recently went through a dry period of nearly two months where nothing was being approved. I was just about ready to give up, and then… BAM! Here are our recent updates:
| APP Title | Vers. | Submit | Approve | |
| iPuckLite | v1.0 | Aug-04 | Sept-23 | |
| TiltBall | v1.0 | Sept-01 | Sept-23 | |
| TiltBallLite | v1.0 | Sept-01 | Oct-11 | |
| RingDance | v1.1 | Sept-17 | Sept-24 | |
| RingDanceLite | v1.0 | Sept-17 | Sept-28 | |
| iPuck | v1.2.1 | Sept-21 | Sept-30 | |
| iPuckLite | v1.0.1 | Sept-23 | Oct-06 | |
| iPuck | v1.3 | Oct-02 | Oct-15 | |
| iPuckLite | v1.1 | Oct-06 | Oct-16 | |
| TiltBallLite | v1.0.1 | Oct 11 | Oct 20 |
The v1.1 version of iPuckLite is built and sitting on my hard drive, ready to submit as soon as v1.0.1 is approved.
I have may have been a tiny bit hard on the App Store review process in the past, but the recent approval times are not too bad. I can live with a turnaround at 7 – 9 days. Let’s just hope that this is the new normal, not simply a burst of performance…
