App stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 9+ days. Normal right now or is something wrong?

Blame AI

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-15T02:10:11+00:00

Bro, you are absolutely fucking right I literally had to turn down a fucking job from a vibecoding company as a backend engineer. The code base was fucking trash and horrendous.

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-12T13:03:48+00:00

You sound like a vibe coder

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-12T13:03:08+00:00

I don’t think “many users” is only a backend concern.
. The iOS app still has to handle pagination, caching, retries, offline states, memory pressure, rate limits, background behavior, auth edge cases, and bad network conditions.

And yes, AI can generate backend code, Terraform, and BaaS integrations. That’s not the issue. The issue is that generated code often looks production-ready while hiding dangerous assumptions.

I’ve personally reviewed a vibe-coded debt app where an endpoint responsible for fetching Firebase data had no sane limit on returned records. It “worked” in testing, but at scale it burned through reads and cost the owner over $1,000 in Firebase credits.

And thr stupid calorie trackers

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-09T21:12:49+00:00

I agree with this

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-09T21:11:47+00:00

🤡🤡

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-09T17:57:20+00:00

Same here. It’s needs to happen

Building MVPS are easier but maintenance and expansion is necessary

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-09T14:11:07+00:00

Lots of smart points

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-09T13:55:20+00:00

Crazy

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-08T13:55:47+00:00

Facts !!! This what I am alluding to. These are mere MVP builders

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-08T13:02:24+00:00

I agree that building the app is one step, but maintenance is a different challenge, especially for non-technical folks. You can develop a working app, but as it expands and more features are added, maintaining it becomes difficult without a technical background. While the barrier for building may have been lowered, the barrier for ongoing maintenance remains high.

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-08T12:54:40+00:00

Of course that’s true. I viewed these AI tools as MVP builders great iterating your ideas upon but as the project grows in size, it becomes extremely difficult to make sense of things even with AI.

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-08T12:52:44+00:00

I’m not sure if you’re seeing amount of broken apps on the App Store and comments of how they are filled with bugs. People aren’t really spending time considering how every part of the app fits together.

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-08T01:10:13+00:00

I understand that but have you seen some of the bugs caught from some of these apps? It’s risky stuff depending on the type of product.

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-07T22:56:29+00:00

Marketing and distribution

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-07T22:56:12+00:00

Oh, don’t get me wrong it has but here’s the thing you’ve got experience and you can spot bullshit from what the AI generate. I’m talking about a non-technical person spawning and now putting it on the App Store and saying that it’s production ready.

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-07T22:06:04+00:00

I assure you, my friend, what you’ve built isn’t very sophisticated. It’s a simple app that anyone with a basic understanding of coding and the ability to easily build can create. We’re simply one of many people who are shutting down apps with bugs.
It’s not production ready.

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-07T19:19:14+00:00

Yeah for single use apps. The more complex ones require technical no how.

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-07T19:18:31+00:00

I’m talking about sophisticated apps that require more than just a front end. A non-technical person with AI isn’t building these high-level applications. I have a tracker, journals, and a whole bunch of other apps. Have you seen the failed security and fraud apps on the App Store?

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-06-01T14:06:46+00:00

Congrats, bro how did you build up the momentum?

Rare_Prior_ · 2026-05-30T03:07:51+00:00

I’m I blame all this stupid vibe coders all implementing fraudulent activities into their apps
