Speeding-up the Apple review process for iOS appli

Question

Is there any way to upload a quick-fix for my application, approved by Apple some days ago? Or should I wait for another 2 weeks for re-review again?

Answer 1

An update usually takes approximately the same time as an original release. It seems Apple reviews each submission as if it were a new application. All approx 8 of our apps have been like this

Answer 2

Besides using the Apple expedited review process, you can install Rollout.io SDK, Rollout.io allows to hot-patch your production application and actually fix and contain quality issues in production without having to go through the app store.

Answer 3

You can request an expedited app review for two reasons:Urgent Bug Fix or Time-Sensitive Event. It was written at App Review Guidelines.

Expedited App Review
If you face extenuating circumstances, you can request the review of your app to be expedited. These circumstances include fixing a critical bug in your app on the App Store or releasing your app to coincide with an event you are directly associated with.

Urgent Bug Fix
If you've submitted an update to fix a critical bug in your app on the App Store and you are requesting an expedited review, be sure to include the steps to reproduce the bug on the current version of your app.

Time-Sensitive Event
For apps associated with an event, we recommend you plan and schedule the release of your app in iTunes Connect. However, if your app is still in review and the launch of your event is quickly approaching, you can request to have your app review expedited. When submitting your request, it's important to include the event, date of the event, and your app's association with the event.

Please Note: Expedited reviews are granted on a limited basis and we cannot guarantee that every request will be expedited.

If you need to push a critical bug-fix to AppStore (either Mac or iOS), you may ask Apple for an Expedited Review Process. You may do so here: Request an Expedited App Review

Answer 5

Any change you make needs to be approved by Apple before it's allowed into the App Store so unfortunately you'll have to wait. I've found the review times to be about a week for updates but your mileage may vary
