Thanks! That sounds bad, glad I'm not an iOS developer
Come on... Shit happens. And it was the first glitch in the App Store after 5 years of operations! They've sold 30 billion apps (and updated probably well over 200 billion).
:D
The first glitch? You're kidding, right?
Well, many, many things suck about the App Store and the submitting process, but they are not that important. This one really ruined a lot of people's holiday, tons and tons of angry and 1-star reviews and if I'm not mistaken, people lost local data. If it was a little more widespread, it could've been a real fiasco.
Minor issue, but the App Store did not launch when the iPhone did. According to someone on wikipedia, the App Store isn't quite 4 years old yet. Still an impressive record if it truly is the first issue they've had.
There's a link in the very first sentence of the article...
