Apple app review time
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2016 4:44 pm
Everyone has been saying for some time now that apples app review process is 2 weeks, and that android's app review process is much shorter (which is y android always gets released first). I was curious and did some googling; While it is true that android's review process is much shorter (2 hrs according to one article), apple's process does not take 2 weeks. These articles say, based on feedback from developers, average apple review time is 8 days. And one article says apple themselves reported their average review time as 5 days. According to one site that tracks review times based on developer feedback, the current review time is 2 days. Also, apple reviewers work weekends, so that's 5 Calendar days not Business days. So why are iOS players waiting 2 weeks, supposedly for apple to approve the update?
And while I'm on the subject of content release...Why is content being released on android before iOS? If Otm knows that apple approval takes longer, mayb they should send it to apple and wait a couple days before sending it to android. If they know apple takes 5 days to review, and android only takes 2 hrs; then u send it to apple, wait 5 days and then send it to android. And if it gets rejected on one platform, u have the other platform hold their release until u can fix the issues and resubmit it. They should be timing their submissions to android/apple so that content gets released for both platforms on the same day, not week(s) apart.
