Here's what Brandon posted about Pending apps

jim_m_58

About 10 days back in a bug report.  Seems to me, everyone can help out by only having one or two pending apps at a time until things calm down.

This is not due to a bug—we have gotten an enormous influx of app submissions in the last month, with no signs of slowing down, and are working through approvals as quickly as we can. This was never a problem in the past, except perhaps delays because of a long holiday weekend (e.g. Christmas).

  • That's not a serious answer. Besides, until October 1st, they were able to review apps within three days, and suddenly, after October 1st, it takes a month?

    It looks like they're cherry-picking apps to approve, because some apps submitted later are getting approved, while others that have been waiting much longer are still stuck in review.

    So it's not that the review process simply takes longer. It looks like they just pick a certain number of apps each day and completely ignore the rest.

    If that's not the case, Garmin could easily come to the forum and reassure developers that there's no need to worry and that all submitted apps will eventually be reviewed.

    But apparently, Garmin couldn't give a damn.

    So it seems likely that those older submissions will never get approved at all.

    If someone has critical thinking skills, they don't believe things that make absolutely no sense.

    Would you rather have Garmin reading the many posts about this and replying, or approving apps?

    Just stop this nonsense. Garmin isn't some tiny, one-man operation where a single person is responsible for everything. Garmin is a multibillion-dollar company where people have different roles and responsibilities.

    It would be perfectly reasonable to expect them to have someone actively engaging with developers on the forum, as well as dedicated staff responding to emails and handling support requests.

    So stop treating me like an idiot and acting as if Garmin is some tiny company that simply doesn't have the resources to communicate with its developers.

    While Garmin is large, the CIQ group isn't.  At the developer summits, they all would fit in a small conference room.

    While I'm sure it's gotten a bit larger, they have other duties.  Like the 3 new devices announced this week, including any VM changes and device files, as well as the 9.3.0 SDK that was just released.
