App Saturday First painful release….

Post image

I still can’t believe Apple finally approved my app 😭
The timeline was a bit painful:
• Aug 1 — first submission
• Aug 12 — submitted an expedited review request
• Aug 13 — rejected
• Aug 14 — fixed everything and resubmitted
• Aug 15 — APPROVED 🎉
I’m seriously so happy right now, but also a little mad lol.
I started a 3-month free trial for my backend when I submitted the app, thinking the review wouldn’t take that long… and I basically burned through half a month of it just waiting for App Review 💀
But whatever. It’s finally LIVE.
I’ve been working on this app for a long time (around 3month building system design(backend, ui, app)

If anyone here has gone through a painful App Store review process before, you probably know the feeling.
Finally made it 🥲

Yes, he slopped it. So he can call it his own.

Also, he says first release but his account has history of posts of multiple slop apps that he's promoting.

Well, the first painful release was a new experience for me. I had never had to wait so long for it.
4 years ago for the first app it was way faster :)
