New #iOS app update out on the App Store, now with link preview cards and post translations on servers that support them!
I don't know why this version (1.4.9) is still not available on the App Store. I suspect it's an issue or delay on Apple's side...
@Gargron Holiday break?
@Gargron yeah, historically they take a break around the holiday but they apparently didn't do that this year. they did caution that review could take longer dec 23-27, so maybe there was a big queue a few days prior and it's still in the pipe?
@grant It got reviewed and approved (on Dec 20, in fact, I do not announce these things until they're done), it just never appeared on the App Store afterwards even though it's marked Ready For Sale.
@Gargron oh dang, weird!
@Gargron Delays due to the holidays since they reduce staff and slow down reviews. Should be cleared up by the 28th.
@Gargron
Check out Metatext in the meantime

@Gargron they are slow during the holidays
@Gargron Is Apple working with twitter? Hmm....
@Gargron i got it just now!
@Gargron 1.4.9 is now available here in France, and I’m using it to write this post.
@Gargron for me it’s visible in German App Store, Apple is not doing the holiday break anymore. Server sync issues maybe
@Gargron it’s here in the UK
@Gargron The update is available already. For some reason the app did not auto-update yet .
@Gargron Is available now.
@Gargron interesting coincidence, you post this and then hours later it appears.
@Gargron It's available for me now! Btw this year the annual Christmas delay wasn't supposed to happen: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/12/01/app-store-holiday-freeze-2022/
So no idea what went wrong.
@Gargron it is available but only if you visit the mastodon App Store page. Smaller updates land there and not at the update menu
@Gargron I just checked and now, as you complained, I can see it, at least in the German AppStore. Super strange, usually just app-review takes a few days off during christmas.
@Gargron Version 1.4.9 is now available in the Austrian App Store. Thank You and merry Christmas
@Gargron It’s available now and just updated mine.
@Gargron third party appstores were a mistake...
@Gargron Since Apple introduced the App Store, they do not make new submissions available during Xmas time. They shutdown their review process before Xmas and start again after New Year's Day. You have to wait until 2023 and until they work off the accumulated wave.
@Gargron They gotta have their holidays
@Gargron I was refreshing it all week. It’s there now, dated December 19
@Gargron it’s probably the phased release or 7-day period?
@Gargron
Google play store
@Gargron I just had it show up in the US App Store within the last 30 minutes or so. However, the list for it shows the latest version having been released 6 days ago. Some sort of holiday hiccup, maybe?
@Gargron Available in the US now as well.
