Aack!

I got an email from a fellow iPhone developer this afternoon. This developer has put out a few apps and wrote me because they saw my post on resubmitting my app for review. I won’t mention specifics, but this developer mentioned that most of their apps passed approval within a week. However, they had one app that they resubmitted to fix a bug take four weeks for approval! They have no idea if it was because of the resubmission, or if it was a fluke.

Here’s hoping I haven’t just applied a four week penalty to my submission by attempting to fix a bug prior to release instead of releasing a buggy app and fixing it with a patch. Because that would be stupid.

Anyway, I thought it was cool that this developer wrote me to let me know there’s a chance I might be waiting longer than I had thought. Thanks.

    Don’t worry! I resubmitted the binary in mine and it took about a week. I think resubmitting just puts you at the back of the queue, so that might explain some variability. But then again, I’m just guessing :-)

    Thanks, Noel. Always the voice of reason. :-)
