The process of accelerating the evaluation of an application submitted to the Apple App Store is a procedure developers sometimes pursue. This involves requesting a faster turnaround than the standard review time. An example would be a developer releasing a time-sensitive update addressing a critical bug or a feature launch coinciding with a major event.
Expedited review is vital for addressing urgent issues, like security vulnerabilities, that affect application stability and user experience. A faster review time can minimize the period during which users are exposed to these problems. Historically, the availability and requirements for such expedited handling have evolved alongside Apple’s developer policies and App Store guidelines, reflecting changes in the platform and the app ecosystem.
