Are App Store review times slowing down again? 2 days waiting for review and counting. Feels like it’s been a while since I’ve seen that.

On the other hand, TestFlight builds were approved within just a few hours of submission. 🤷‍♂️

Motorist was approved within a couple of hours. Screens for Mac and iOS still waiting for review 3 days later while the visionOS version was finally approved. Go figure.

Submitted two apps 7 hours apart. The second one went into review first and is already approved. The first is still waiting. No explanation, no logic, no consistency. The App Store review process has gotten so bad lately it's starting to feel like 2009. This is not how you treat developers trying to build businesses on your platform.

@vandal Apple is repurposing all of their Mac minis for OpenClaw.

@kyle I hope they improve review times soon, this is not sustainable.

@vandal I did a release a couple weeks ago. At least 48 hour turn around for each review. It was a new app and App Store review flagged a minor issue that we had to go back and forth about. Took like a week and a half to get approved.
