App Store Review Times

App Store Review Times are getting longer, probably because a lot of people have clawed code subscriptions and they're pushing Swift apps to the App Store and record numbers. Apple used to have a very small ecosystem of individuals who learned their programming languages and frameworks well enough to pass an app review and submit apps. But now this is likely 100x in a matter of months. I think clawed opus 4.6 was the first model I used that actually seemed to produce decent Swift code, outputs, could handle Swift UI with a little bit of guidance. That was February. We're about six months past that date. The last published report was at Apple had 500 App Store reviewers and before the introduction of AI code they would service about 100,000 submissions a month. Can you imagine how those numbers have probably changed in the last six months. But I wouldn't worry about this at all. These are the exact kind of scaling problems in the real world Apple solves on a regular basis. Their entire business, their red and butter is supply chain issues, bottlenecks scaling, overcoming issues like this. So eventually they'll figure something out. But for now it seems like we're all just going to have to wait a little bit longer for our apps to get reviewed. [BLANK_AUDIO]
