无论做什么,都有相应的应用……显然,审核这些应用的过程除外。
Whatever the task, there's an app for that… Except for the process of reviewing those apps, apparently.
苹果开发者论坛上越来越多的报告显示,开发者们正在等待很长时间,才能让他们的应用在App Store上架。
There are a growing number of reports on Apple's developer forums that developers are waiting a long time for their apps to be reviewed before they’re listed on the App Store.
话题包括“异常长的苹果‘等待审核’时间”、“‘等待审核’卡了大约3周”、“自10月8日以来一直卡在‘等待审核’中”等等,还包括一个“等待审核超级帖子”。
Subjects include 'Unusually long Apple 'waiting for review' time", "Stuck in Waiting for Review for about 3 weeks", "Stuck in 'Waiting for Review' since October 8", and so on, including a "Waiting for Review Megathread."
随便举个例子,D1 Tech表示他们自9月19日以来一直在等待。
To pick an example at random, D1 Tech say they've been waiting since September 19.
Reddit上也有报告,例如“我的应用已经等待App Store审核将近一个月了。这正常吗?”典型的审核时间是一两天。
There are also reports on Reddit, such as "My app has been waiting for App Store review for almost a month.
苹果自己的App Review指南说:App Review全天候运作,通常在不到24小时内审核至少50%的提交,在不到48小时内审核90%。这并非第一次发生这种情况。
Is this normal?" The typical review time is a day or two.
二月份的一条类似投诉帖子仍然可见,至少有74名开发者抱怨出现数周的延迟。
Apple's own App Review guidelines say: App Review works around the clock, typically reviewing at least 50% of submissions in less than 24 hours and 90% in less than 48 hours."
其中一些人指出,这些并非新应用提交,而是针对现有已批准应用的错误修复。
This isn't the first time this has happened.
三月份,商业内幕报道了类似的延迟,认为这是由于AI编码应用的大量涌入所致。四月份,《信息》报道称提交量增长了84%。我们已向苹果询问其对延迟是否有任何解释或评论。
A thread of similar complaints is still visible from back in February, with at least 74 developers complaining of multi-week delays. Some of them noted that these were not new app submissions, but merely bug-fixes for existing, approved apps. In March, Business Insider reported on similar delays, suggesting that it was due to a large and rising influx of AI-coded apps.
迄今为止,该公司尚未回复,但如果我们收到更多信息,将更新本报道。
In April, The Information reported that submissions were up 84 percent.
话虽如此,《注册报》的长期读者可能还记得,十年前,该报记者基伦·麦卡锡花了三个月时间试图参加苹果iPhone 7发布会。(剧透:他最终并没有参加。)可以想见,《注册报》可能并非库比蒂诺的最爱新闻媒体。®
We have asked Apple if it has any explanation or comment to make about the delay. So far, the company has not replied, but we will update this story if we receive any more information. Saying that, though, long-term readers of The may remember vulture Kieren McCarthy’s three-month effort to attend Apple's iPhone 7 launch party, a decade ago. (Spoiler: he did not, in fact, get to join the party.) It is just conceivable that El Reg is not Cupertino's favorite news outlet. ®
