Yes, you have to submit updates for approval, but it's quick and easy, and I can count on one hand the number of rejections I've ever gotten, all of which were easily fixed. 95% of my updates are approved in 1-2 days.
I think the point is that if I'm a web developer and I want to update my web app, I can deploy in 1-2 minutes with 100% acceptance rate. The only fees I have to pay are for hosting, and everything else is totally under my control. I'm not subject to the caprice of whoever runs any official app store for some platform, nor to paying them exorbitant rents.
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoI get that, but it's hardly a horrible bureaucracy. I did web dev for years and there are lots of trade-offs there too.

True enough, but having one organisation able to entirely dictate whether your app lives or dies is not one of them and never has been. That and the 30% cut were all it took to reduce our interest in iOS apps to near zero for any project I've ever worked on.
