For apps with a scale, it's a long time
- carlosjobim 15d agoBecause? People wait far longer for much more important things in real life.
- tehlike 15d agoSpeed is money. Yes people wait for 9 months for having a baby, doesn't mean you should wait 9 months for an app release. That is not a sound logic.
- carlosjobim 15d agoYes, but one week to wait for your app is nothing to complain about.
- cute_boi 15d agoSometime there are 0 days etc.. So, maybe you should have broader view on things instead of simple assumption.
- jprjr_ 15d agolet's say you have a bug that makes your app unusable. If you can't get an update our for a week - people are going to just stop using your app.
- carlosjobim 15d agoYou shouldn't have shipped that bug in the first place, I would say. If the bug comes from an Android update, I assume that developers have had access to betas long before the system update is rolled out.

- tehlike 15d agoAnd you know 100% all the bugs are visible at all times.
- tehlike 15d agoWhy do you think apple has point releases that fix... Bugs every time? Not necessarily new features but bugs. Lesson in there.
- carlosjobim 15d agoDo you mean that these point releases introduce bugs that break third party software?
- tehlike 15d agoI decided not to engage with you. Not productive.
- tehlike 15d agoYou should want higher speed and quality of service from your vendors. In this case, apple is paid wonderfully for it.
- doc_ick 15d agoApple has some “trust” for vetting things, and with the wave of slop-apps it fine with a slight delay so the App Store doesn’t become riddled with slop like the android store.
- tehlike 15d agoReview speed and slopness are related but not exclusive to each other.
- doc_ick 15d agoDefinitely not exclusive, though I believe they are related enough to not tank one for the other. If a review is 2 seconds and done, then the circle for figuring out the mvp slop app is pretty slim.
- tehlike 15d agoYou can imagine with the AI models we have now, many of the stuff reviewers do could be automated to a large extent. They can also determine through binary diffing that functionality changes may be limited etc. Many things can be done to eliminate majority of the queue for example.
- doc_ick 14d agoSome stuff the reviewers do could easily be automated. I’m off the mindset everything the reviewers do shouldn’t be automated however, as llms do hallucinate and are still susceptible to ghost prompts. At the infinite app review scale (some apps malicious, illegal, rip-offs), extra time is inevitable.
