RE: The Tolls we pay: Getting Apple to approve our App
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I'm crossing my fingers for you, hope you made enough feature changes for them. Have you considered distributing "publicly" via TestFlight in the meantime? It will take a while to reach 10k installs, and until then you won't have to go through all these hoops. Apart from that, Apple have a history of approving something, and then months or even years later suddenly starting to not like one or more of your core features (that you've had in there forever). It all depends on the reviewer...

its already in testflight, we have about 30 people on apple devices using it right now... anyone can drop us their email on discord and I'll add them. 10k users is pretty good imo, so even if apple plays hard to get, we can still jam for a while.
funny enough, recently i got an email from google. Seems like they wont allow side loading as of next year.
At least in the past there was a way of allowing users to download from Testflight without prior email whitelisting. A lot of crypto projects used this to distribute their apps, as nobody was really expecting more than 10k downloads quickly. Does this not work anymore? It's been a while since I last used Testflight for distribution
yeah, we have to add their emails on our side, and then they can download. its been the reason why some people have hesitated. Keeping their emails secret seems important to them, and of course: who am I to disagree with a personal preference?
"Developers can enable a "public link" which allows a wider group of testers to join a beta test without needing individual email invitations, but you still need to access this specific link to download the app"
Got this from Gemini. Will check on my Testflight account later if that's still the case.
Yep, still works like this:
