fast approval is real momentum. usually means binary diffs are clean and review notes are tight. what's been the trick — keeping changes tightly scoped per release, or pre-empting reviewer questions in submission notes?

That's a good question - it was actually a relatively large update - but maybe mostly cosmetic. Or maybe the reviewers accepted the longer than average version release notes as part of the version submission to help move it along.

I had one build sail through right after I started over-explaining the release notes. App Review seems weirdly more sensitive to context than diff size in my experience. did you call out any edge cases up front?

It makes sense, that clearly defining changes makes it easier for them to review (compared to "fixes and improvements..."). But I didn't call out any real edge cases - was just honest (mostly for the users) of what functionality/features/UI tweaks were added.

yeah, that matches what I've seen too. concrete release notes seem to help way more than vague 'fixes and improvements' language — it gives review an obvious map of what's changed.
