96% of apps are approved? I thought the percentage was much lower. Vocal minority, I guess.


That doesn't say how many times the app had to be resubmitted before approval. I'd like to see the rate of first time rejections.


A lot of first time rejections are for things like version numbers not matching. I'm not sure why that stat would be meaningful.


Well obviously we want to know more about the procedure and why apps get rejected. We want to know what Apple's "moral" objections are and what values they're trying to impose. Its more a fear of some agenda (beyond no apps that don't work or do harm) that we may not agree with then stats.

It also doesn't hurt to know what your chances are to have trouble.


Misleading statistic - developers are probably just getting better at self-censorship. They don't bother submitting non "politically correct" apps anymore.


They should have reported to wait time too. It's been 3 months and counting for my first app.
