Simon B. Støvringbrrr has been submitted for review. Very pleased that I made it before going on a skiing trip tomorrow ⛷️🚀
*pokes*
Do something.
Review times seem pretty long right now. Is it all the vibe coded apps hogging the queue?
brrr got rejected because it didn't include a link to the privacy policy and Terms of Use on the subscription page. I've added that and resubmitted. Fingers crossed it'll be faster this time 🤞
I was convinced brrr would get through app review while I was on vacation, even after a rejection. But I’m heading home today. Seems like app review times are back to what they were years ago.
brrr was rejected Wednesday and resubmitted 30 minutes later. That build is still waiting for review four days later. App review is too darn slow right now.
I find it odd that iOS and Mac builds of the same app, submitted at the same time, aren’t reviewed by Apple consecutively. This is especially true for new apps. App Review works in mysterious ways.

Steve Troughton-Smith@simonbs initial Mac review times are pretty bad right now, but not 2-weeks-bad like they used to be. Subsequent updates are a little faster, I guess when an app is 'trusted'
Darren@simonbs @stroughtonsmith did you know expedited requests are no longer a request, it just pushes you up the queue with no reason.
Thomas Schoffelen@simonbs It’s been pretty up and down lately; submitted an app update 2 weeks ago that took 6 days, and yesterday I submitted another one that was reviewed within 3 hours.

MikeMilzz@simonbs submitted a major update to an app that I haven’t updated in 4 yrs & both iOS and Mac versions were approved in less than 12 hours My experience with initial rejections is the next review takes a while but I’ve also missed a step after thinking I replied. Make sure your reply went through and that your submission is complete
Edward Munn@simonbs we have found it helpful to ask an agent if there are any issues with the code that will cause it to be rejected by the App Store review team.

Alexander Steiner@simonbs Yeah, since late last year the review times are pretty bad.
I got a few updates approved within 24h but that’s more an exception nowadays.
Another bad side effect of LLM adoption.
Morten Bjerg Gregersen@simonbs yeah, and expedited reviews is not an option 😬 https://mastodon.social/@mortengregersen/116243730857507101
Mike Wolfinbarger@mortengregersen @simonbs Expedited appears to be back. Went into review about a minute after I requested it.

Anders Borum@simonbs You have to expedite to show that you want it.
Peter Bryant@simonbs My app took about 76 hours to move to In Review last week. Something’s going on over there
