From my limited job experience, most iOS apps are written by less than competent programmers with a rushed deadline. There is no such concept of quality control or even system design in general.
Take your example, this exposed a system design bug that the designer have draw the line between hardware and software incorrectly, and later was too lazy to fix the issue and asked the software part to work around it, which may or may not be possible. Personally it takes me almost double if not triple the time to write an app. I spend all he time refactoring and fixing out bugs - all apps that comes out of my door will have a way better quality guarantee. > On Jun 24, 2015, at 03:17, Michael David Crawford <mdcrawf...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Apple's written policy is that crashy apps are not permitted in the > app store.
