No one knows why it was put online if we're following Stefan's facts! They reviewed it (however they do that), but requested changes. Then, unexpectedly, it was available online without the changes as CJ decided to concentrate on their card games first!

Mmm Hmm.
Graal was the only one of all the hundreds of apps out who experienced this problem, and it's the big corporation's fault, not CJ.
Riiiiiight.

You don't know that they were the only one to experience this, you are simply assuming that this is the case. You can't just make such a statement.

Actually the App Store has been very buggy from launch, it sounds perfectly reasonable that Apple messed up.

Yeah, they had problems with developers putting spaces before their name.

You make it sound like they're breaking into your house in the middle of the night and running off with your laptop. For an application to be launched on the store, the developers have to submit the application for approval (which is a tested process), therefore they already have the application before release. The issue here is that Apple initially rejected it, and then without any warning, released it when it was not expected to be released.

And yes, it has happened to others, as well as people's applications even going missing from the review process. Try reading the comments people leave on El Reg articles about the jesusphone once in a while.

So Graal sent them a beta version to be approved, then planned to send them another version later, which would have to be re-approved?

No. Cyberjoueurs sent them what they would have initially considered to be a complete client, and Apple responded basically with "We didn't like this so much, so change this and this and we'll reconsider." So, Cyberjoueurs rethink a couple of details and plan to submit another version for review. Except then, Apple suddenly approve the application for a while before removing it again.

Well, if they sent it to them, then they wanted it released then. Maybe Apple did change their mind, but if CJ thought the first product was good enough, they have nothing to complain about.
Now, the players on the other hand...
