Improve your QA process and you will not be waylaid by something as simple as a typo.

Hopefully there'd be an option to roll back to some previously approved/released version. So your users may have to wait longer for the exciting new functionality, but at least they won't be screwed.

Exactly. There should be a proper workflow with reversion if needed.

They don't know you only fixed a typo until they've had time to review it

They don't do a check of the changes in some automated manner? Is that tooling not available for extensions?

Yes they do. I'm not actually releasing code. This is just the images and text associated with the store. Not the actual app

The typo case is certainly unfortunate. This policy changes does present new challenges to product planning and associated marketing, and I sympathize with the short term impact that has on you and others similarly situated. I hope you and others are able to adapt as others who develop for centralized platforms have had to do so.
