Totally. But there has to be some middle ground. If you did a 180 then do a manual review. If the app is fundamentally the same with a minor bug fix then why review it?


How do you suggest Apple determines whether an update does a 180 or just has a minor bug fix? Trust the submitter?


I’ve only worked with the chrome store which is obviously open source so static analysis doesn’t work here like it does there. It’s a good question. My hot take is diff the syscalls. Easy enough to do. If you changed a bunch of them then big review. It’s not perfect but in 30 seconds I couldn’t think of anything better. My first hot take was app submit its own test scripts for an emulator but that could easily be gamed.


By opening both versions of the app side by side, and by default not objecting to things that are in the already approved version?


I call that a review.

“If you did a 180 then do a manual review. If the app is fundamentally the same with a minor bug fix then why review it?” would have to be a different thing.
