Feedback from App Store QA very helpful so far.
My first application ‘Simply Lists’ was released to the iPhone App store a couple of weeks ago. I submitted a new version of the app a few days ago. Last night I received a rejection E Mail from Apple. This wasn’t like many of the horror stories you may have heard though. The E Mail I received was friendly and list the specific steps to reproduce a crashing bug in my application. I was able to quickly fix the problem, which I had introduced with a recent change, and submit a new binary for testing.
Negative experiences make better news stories than positive stories. There are many serious issues with the process, and more importantly for me with the application discovery process. However, my experience with the whole process has been very positive.
Special thanks go to the tester that I communicated with, I have no idea who you are, but your doing a good job.
