    Any update that hits the App Store and increments a version number goes through the Apple review process.

    Certain updates can be done on the fly with custom or third party solutions like https://ionic.io/docs/appflow/deploy/intro

    But this graph doesn’t make it clear if these updates are new binary app deployments or on the fly updates

      Yeah, I haven’t done it in like 8 months so I think I was conflating Code Push with App Store updates. I do think that apps get treated differently based on the priority of the company and there is some judgement used in the scope of changes. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if Grok is never subject to the random review delays just cuz no one wants to deal with Elon throwing a tantrum

        Yeah I’m the lead mobile engineer at my company. We release bigger updates once a month and smaller hotfixes generally weekly or biweekly. For smaller updates we get approval in around 6 hours. They also have a way to expedite reviews in which case we’ve gotten like 30 minute turnaround on reviews (though that’s like boy that cried wolf, only use it if you need to push something really urgent)
