I Shipped an iPhone Duo App Before I Had the Phone. Thanks, App Reviewer.

Protractor° is on the App Store. A simple app, one that I didn’t type a single line of code or write the mundane metadata on App Store Connect. What I didn’t mention: when I got the dreaded rejection letter, all I did was ask Codex to read and fix it. That’s all. Codex just asked me for some alternative names. I made that 1 decision, and it updated all the screenshots, app name, subtitle, keywords and descriptions in 5 languages, then submitted it again for review. Wow. I love this way of app development. One small confession I didn’t even test this app on a physical device, since iPhone Duo is not yet released. So for once, I am grateful to the App Store reviewer. Perhaps, I should ask my agent to fill up the “Review Notes” and have the reviewer be part of my testing process.
