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?

Sounds like it was complete in the mind of CJ, so they put it out, only to hear the many complaints of the users (often filtered here, not so much on iTunes), and pulled it down to fix it.
