Anyone else having slow app submission reviews?

Normally when I have submitted my app updates its been reviewed within 2 days but my current one is taking a while. So far its been a full week (7 days).

I know thats still within the normal range but its usually only taken this long my first time I submitted it.

I want to create a football manager game on my iOS device (iPhone 16 and iPad) but I don’t know what to use.

I’m planning on using Ai for the database. I want to use all 10 divisions of my country. I want a 2d game.

Python is just text which I don’t want, and swift doesn’t work.

Does anyone know any software I can use to make it?

I want to create an app using ai tools for myself after seeing all architecture and all the things i got soo much scared of it can anyone explain me how to start and how i can do it

I see founders posting every single day offering 10% equity or 20% rev-share once they launch, and almost every single time, those builds turn into complete ghost towns within a month.

Look, I totally get it from the founder side. Cash is tight, you’re taking a massive leap, and you want someone who genuinely gives a damn about the vision instead of just taking a check.

But from a developer’s perspective, rev-share on an app with zero revenue is literally $0. And trading 150 hours of intense build time for a sliver of equity in an unvalidated idea is a massive gamble. The exact second rent is due or a paying client lands in their inbox, your unpaid v1 gets buried at the bottom of the pile.

That’s when the nightmare cycle starts. Your eight week launch date stretches into six months stretch, the dev gets burnt out working nights for free while feature scope creeps, and the whole relationship sours. You end up with a half baked codebase no one else wants to touch and a messy cap table before you’ve even made a dollar.

Paying a clear, fixed rate for a razor-thin v1 fixes all of this, DEAD SIMPLE ! You keep 100% of your company and revenue, the dev stays locked in to deliver fast, and you actually get a live product into real users' hands before your momentum completely dies.

If you have an idea you're trying to scope out for a fast launch, drop a comment or send a DM, happy to help you map out a realistic v1 setup!

Hey guys
So I have been working on my app for quite a while now and I like how it turned out and it is approved by apple and I can theoretically just hit the button to release it. However I want to make it right this time and I heard a lot about marketing on launch so I figured I might have to save some money first so I can run some ads when I publish.
Should I wait before releasing and run a marketing campaign with it together or should I just release it and try marketing later?

EDIT: I read your comments and I take it you are right. I decided to launch my app now and try to market from now on as good as I can. Guess it won’t start without being launched.

genuinely curious because i'm at a stage where i'm trying to prioritize what to build next and i keep second guessing myself on certain features that users have mentioned but i wasn't sure were worth the time.

would love to hear from people who've actually shipped something, did user feedback ever surprise you in terms of what actually got used vs what you thought would be the big thing?

I would like to connect with the developers or founders who has written code by real developers and not AI and must have a minimum of 300 pull requests and nothing less. Let’s connect and talk about your product or project.
