@olebegemann @olemoritz they want to make sure it won’t cripple a device or have malicious intent. It’s really not serious.

@olebegemann @olemoritz On the bright side, that means you get earlier feedback if your app will never be allowed.

@olebegemann that's a little deflating.

@olebegemann if review times will be like for regular apps, agile is screwed lol.

@olebegemann @drbarnard Wild guess: automated malware scan. Not a human review. Probably much faster.

@olebegemann @olemoritz and thus saves @hockeyapp

@olebegemann @zorn there's nothing beta if end users put your app on their personal devices on the live App Store.

@olebegemann Or the enterprise program for in-house apps

@olebegemann Hopefully they just see it's labelled visibly as a "beta", so that people don't dodge App Store distribution for small apps

@olebegemann I thought you were joking till I clicked that link.

@olebegemann @drbarnard That's gotta be automatic tests only, right? No way they could be asking devs to wait days for beta tests...?

If this is what it sounds like… Lame. “@olebegemann: “Beta App Review” – seriously? https://developer.apple.com/support/appstore/TestFlight/index.php …”

@olebegemann @olemoritz Hopefully it’s more automated, but they still probably have to scan for malware, private APIs, etc.

@olebegemann @olemoritz makes sense really!! Can just see all the dodgy beta's going around for $25 a slot.

@olebegemann Thats stupid...
