Rogue Amoeba, an excellent developer of Mac and iPhone software has decided to quit the iPhone development business, stating that "the App Store is broken". In a post on their website, they outline the work that they had to go through to have an update to Airfoil application approved, and respond to the criticism of the rejection.
Their article ends with the comments....
In the future, we hope that developers will be allowed to ship software without needing Apple's approval at all, the same way we do on Mac OS X. We hope the App Store will get better, review times will be shorter, reviews will be more intelligent, and that we can all focus on making great software. Right now, however, the platform is a mess.
The chorus of disenchanted developers is growing and we're adding our voices as well. Rogue Amoeba no longer has any plans for additional iPhone applications, and updates to our existing iPhone applications will likely be rare. The iPhone platform had great promise, but that promise is not enough, so we're focusing on the Mac.
