Provision profile expiration time: does it leave you wondering?

Also, the expiration "reminders" are a PITA, because they show up daily for the week or so before expiration. When one pops up, you only get two dismissal options: "remind me" and "show me."

I need a third option: "OK." (i.e., "Don't remind me again.")

so, if the profile expires before the completion of the AppStore approval process (although everyone knows approvals are never delayed....) does the developer get a 'pass' or do we have to resubmit?

Ok, enough with the app store slander. I am starting to turn into fake fake Steve Jobs here with everyone piling onto the best thing since sliced bread.

I created an ad-hoc distribution profile a couple of minutes ago and that is good for a year (just renewed my app license). So the 6 month thing just ain't true. So clearly the fact checking is nonexisting.

Developer profiles expire earlier (as they should - they're only for betas anyway). If you need a profile that doesn't expire that soon - use an ad hoc profile.

I'm not dev yet I do sympathize with those who build for iPhone OS and find Apple restrictive and controlling. Yet I find it intereting that I see Apples logic in controlling iPhone app behaviour.

When I try a new application for OS X and it sucks, crashes or just underperforms I blame it on the app itself. If I were to buy an app from the App Store, especially as a new iPhone user, and it froze my iPhone or uploaded information I didn't approve of to the devs servers, I think that does "weaken" the appeal or appeared stabilty of the iPhone.

I know the two examples are simliar, yet I acknowledge the difference I feel
with these two examples. I wonder if other users, possibly new to the iPhone, feel the same and is the reasoning Apple has taken with their control.

Or maybe it has something to do with how many crappy apps there are on the app store, yet very few dev's crank out crappy applications for OS X.

I can't wait for some competitor's app store to start kicking the crap out of Apple's so they stop these disgusting anti-consumer tactics.

The app store policies are the reason I won't develop and iPhone app. I'm sticking to desktop apps, where I can distribute my app my way.
