While I agree with the observation, instant approval for the iPhone app store like YouTube for video won't work as long as Apple has restrictions on what API's can be accessed.
If that wasn't an issue, Apple would be able to rely on the power of the crowd to weed out apps for them.
- gojomo 17y agoCouldn't an automated analysis detect just about any calls to unapproved APIs that haven't been intentionally obfuscated?
- potatolicious 17y agoOn the contrary - if API access were Apple's only concern, near-instantaneous approval would certainly be possible. ObjC apps can be disassembled trivially - and scanning the binary for unauthorized outside calls is simply a matter of having the right utility. I'm imagining a system where you submit your app, it gets run through the security grinder for bad API calls, and you get the green light 5 minutes later.
