After all the many horror stories we ‘ve seen about the App Store reviews process “ the stupid rejections, the stupid approvals, the lack of communication with devs, the inconsistency and the seeming lack of any real process “ it ‘s good to hear something positive about this gateway to the App Store.

Daring Fireball has provided a bit of good news and maybe even a glimmer of hope that the process might be improving “ in a recent report on a good, useful bit of communication from Apple “ where a reviewer actually reached out to a dev in a helpful and constructive way. 

Here ‘s the dev ‘s recap of events:

I got a call from Apple last weekend. A call from Apple on my freakin ‘ iPhone regarding my iPhone app.

They had a minor issue that was blocking its approval. Thankfully they weren ‘t blocking it for any silly reason, there was a valid point. I don ‘t necessarily agree, but it wasn ‘t worth quibbling over.

So to counterbalance all of the negative press that the Apple App Store guys have been getting, I gotta be honest with my experience: they called me, they explained the issue, and personally requested that I get a new binary their way ASAP. First class.

Very cool.  Hopefully this is not just a fluke, or a good mood moment from one individual reviewer, but more a small sign of a little greater effort on Apple ‘s part
