Developers have pretty much solved the launch-fast-and-iterate problem with server-side updates — they don't need to submit a new build to Apple for every update. I'd argue that Apple's app store policies have mostly resulted in higher quality, more secure apps than we would have otherwise (and Android apps are evidence of that), which resulted in more trust and faster adoption from users.
- madmax96 5y agoI think the real key is that Apple has recognized that App Store delays are a problem and has taken steps to quantifiably improve the situation. See https://appreviewtimes.com/ https://appreviewtimes.com/. Anecdotally, the first version of one of my Apps was approved in < 8 hours. On another, more gray area app, it took ~1.5 weeks. Gone are the days of 4 week update delays. I’ve found that Apple’s release process has identified useful problems in my apps too.
