I submitted an update for one of my iPhone apps this afternoon, probably after 1:00pm. I just noticed it has been approved and is now available for sale, less than 6 hrs later. It was a pretty big update that I did not think would be available until after the holidays so I'm a little shocked. Has this happened to anyone else? Does it maybe have something to do with the holiday break that's coming up?
Apps appeared to go through very quickly last year just after the store reopened, I think this is probably down to most businesses have been organized enough to submit well in advance of xmas, so it just leaves the indies who are submitting either side of the store shut down
My first submission went in on a friday aft (5pm-ish) and was approved tuesday morning. This was maybe 5 months ago.<p>I had expected much longer given the horror stories but I suspect they just shout a bit louder.
