What's the typical sequence when a new iOS version hits and then all the apps that were developed in beta need to release fully?
- saagarjha 8y agoThey're given a couple days to submit apps built with the golden master version of Xcode. Usually, this is on the day the new iPhones are announced.
- pbarnes_1 8y agoAnd every year Apple introduces bugs in the GM build that weren't there in the last beta build. Always fun to be an iOS dev. :)
- djrogers 8y agoWe got the GMs last Monday, so we got a week to regression test against it vs the previous betas.
- saagarjha 8y agoWell, the Xcode GM dropped with the new hardware because it contains references to it. So you weren't allowed to submit with a beta toolchain before then.
- wlesieutre 8y agoThey've been allowed to post on the store for a couple of days, I think. I installed a bunch of updates yesterday and most of them were "Added Siri Shortcuts support."
- MBCook 8y agoIt’s been uneven as usual. There have been stories of apps being rejected because they mentioned new features or iOS 12 in the release notes even though other apps have been able to do that.
