Especially seeing as Google Play makes it so easy. Nightmare for getting urgent updates out!
FYI for urgent updates you can request an expedited review from Apple. Saved our asses a couple of times.
Good to know. Wasn't aware of that at all.
It can be quite fast but no guarantee about it. I believe you have limited # of those urgent review requests. It was something like 2 per year.
From my point of view, in Google Play the trade-off is you get fast updates but you can lose your app and reputation permanently overnight. I see algorithmic solutions are best for Google for most of the time. But as a developer in this case, I feel we are business partners with Google also helping them earn money. But when you are treated with robots without common sense, without human-reasonable answers. It takes your enthusiasm away. I agree with you that waiting one week is a problem. However Google Play's solution isn't that nice if you get bitten.
