The App Store Approval Delay Is Now History
December 30, 2009
After the rejections, the App Store's developers second biggest concern is most certainly the approval delay. Indeed, having to wait a couple weeks for their apps to show up and not being able to push bug fixes quickly is a total pain.
Well, it seems like actually those days are pretty much over. According to 148Apps' App Store metrics, not only the delay is slowly reducing, but it reached a new low this November. Having an app approved in November took only 4 days on average and that is with 376 apps per day being submitted.
I guess Apple seriously beefed up its reviewing team for the holidays, good move since this the amount of apps submitted this December was about 935 per day.
