How To: Improve the App Store Approval Process
Often, we submit an app and get legitimate feedback on things that need to be changed. It often takes 14+ days for one cycle, despite what the gauge on the iPhone Dev Portal says, to find out we've done something like put wording Apple deems in appropriate in our application's description. This is a waste of time for both Apple, developers, and users. Even if we resubmit the same binary immediately, it takes additional days or weeks to get approved.
I suggest the option to pay a little (perhaps $50? $100? $150?) for priority service for important releases (bug fixes or otherwise). The amount should be enough to keep developers from overusing it but be affordable for indies. Perhaps there could be limits on how often devs could request this service. Just a thought.
