The interview is targetted at the mainstream audience (not developers) and they've done a good job of explaining some of the benefits of the review process.
Unfortunately, the interview doesn't address two key points.
1. The lack of transparency into the review process (where the app is in the queue, is the review process going to take one week or ten weeks, will the app be approved or not, lack of response to developer emails etc.)
2. The number of incorrect rejections (i.e. app rejected for a bogus reason)
The second issue is an understandable limitation that can be mitigated, but perhaps never eliminated.
However, imo Apple needs to do a lot better with the first problem - "lack of transparency" problem and related developer-relations problem.
- weaksauce 17y agoI can't agree more. The lack of transparency is the real killer in the approval process. They added a "transparency" feature to the approval process site, but it is so vague that it is mostly worthless. They added a "in review", "awaiting appstore reviewer" and a few other states to the app management area.
