I’ve been waiting on an iPhone app to go through the app store approval process. It’s been in the queue for about two weeks now.
Apple recently added something to the dev center about reachability, pointing developers to their sample app. In my app, I’m posting to a URL on my server using HTTP – but I’m not doing a reachability check first. If the user tries to submit the request, it will eventually time out and they will see an error.
What are the chances that Apple will fail this app? I’m wondering if I should just quickly implement reachability and “reject binary” myself, submitting a new version. Might save me a couple of days if I’m just going to get rejected anyway.
Implement reachability, if your app uses the web and when there is no connectivity the app doesnt say something along the lines that “this is not working because you have no internet access” then 95 percent it will be rejected by apple
