My how things have changed.\u00a0 I just got a tweet from Andrew Stone that his app Twittelator got approved in 7 hours!!\u00a0 Wow, a new record.\u00a0 Well, ok, perhaps not a gold metal type new record, but that is still pretty fast. So the question is; how?<\/p>\n
Well lets think about it.\u00a0 What if Apple has a rule that says anytime a preexisting well know app get an update, it put on the fast track.\u00a0 New or lessor known app are on the slower track.\u00a0 And there could be more then two tracks.\u00a0 Then that would make sense wouldn’t it?\u00a0 And further, what if Apple keeps a copy of your source code and simple does a code compare and only looks at the newer code?\u00a0 Well, that would go even faster wouldn’t it?<\/p>\n
Now is the actually, how they are doing things? I have no idea.\u00a0 But to get approved in 7 hours, it would have to be.<\/p>\n
.. and that is a good thing.\u00a0 The idea of having to wait a few weeks for a simple update; as happened during the first twitter apocalypse definatly pointed out a weekness in the apple store approval process.<\/p>\n
So Kudos to you Apple for improving.\u00a0 I know I like to bash you quite often, but I have to call Win a Win.<\/p>\n
