Apple gave developers only 35 days with the final iPhone Duo SDK before launch, and some struggled to get test devices, according to a new Tej.as blog post.
Why it mattersThe author argues that the compressed timetable left popular apps without proper interface updates on launch day. Apple did offer workshops and documentation, but the post says that support did not make the schedule any less awkward. It is a pointed criticism of how platform owners treat the developers whose apps help sell their devices.
Discuss: Is a short runway an unavoidable cost of launching new hardware, or should Apple give developers more time and better access to test devices?
