Report: Apple quickens app approval, patch processes

SC MAGAZINE  |  By Bradley Barth – In a move intended to patch software bugs quicker and satisfy its developer base, Apple has made a deliberate effort to reduce the time it takes to review submissions to its App Store, Bloomberg reported yesterday.

The report cited data from AppReviewTimes.com, which shows that average iOS app approval time dropped from 8.8 days a year ago to just 1.95 days three days ago. Yesterday, that number fell again to 1.62 days.
