had to cancel my presentation to a client today

apple is taking their sweet time to review my app.. im on week 2 right now...

No new computer for me yet this week...

Any chance you could testflight demo it?

@SortOfTested testflight is also in review

And the fun part is, this is just a fancy TODO list app.

Ive had much complexer apps where the onboarding alone takes longer than then the time apple took between me submitting it and having it reviewed...

This stinks

@Kimmax welcome to working with apple...

you are forced to pay(100$ a year) and use their tools, but dont expect any support for that in return...

meanwhile over at google, 25$ once, and hyperbolicly speaking, they will probably send someone over for personal support

Why rely on Apple for a demo?

@wiwe2210 because apple locks you in that way

"here is the imac, use the emulator to try out your phone app" is not really a realistic option

@dakkarant also the validation process is probably just a robot that virus scans it and runs it on virtual machines to know which ones it crashes on so it can hide the app on the store from those devices =D

which is... an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time.

Still have my old Mac book air sitting in a box broken. Barely made it out of warranty before it said I quit, that's with taking to genius bar WHIKE STILL IN WARRANTY, fixed it once, new warranty went by and so did the computer. Currently on like a 5-6 year old Lenovo Ideapad 110 lol. Updated it with an ssd but it's stock otherwise. Currently running Ubuntu 20.04 and hasn't let me down yet *knock on wood*

@ScribeOfGoD
"genius bar"

every time i see that name i wonder if the reference to the "genius" meme was intentional or just a happy coincidence.

@Midnight-shcode they're real "geniuses" alright... Took about an hour to do the troubleshooting steps I found on Google and did in 15 lol

@Midnight-shcode yeah, the whole "we carefully review the apps personally" is just marketing BS
