Apple to iPhone Developers: So… Happy with the App Store?

TechCrunch is reporting that Apple has started sending developers invitations to take a satisfaction survey with regards to the App Store in general, and the App Store approval process in specific.

Apple asks you to reply with: “Very dissatisfied,” “Somewhat dissatisfied,” “Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied,” “Somewhat satisfied,” “Very satisfied,” or “Don’t know.”

They additionally ask, “What one thing could Apple do to assemble the iPhone Developer Program better?” and give you a text box to write anything you want. A few months ago they certainly would have gotten some interesting responses there.

Indeed and as we suspected, “wait for developers and bloggers to get really ticked off and next have Phil Schiller email them” wasn’t a scalable solution. TechCrunch speculates

that the improvements in the App Store approval process starting 2010 involve more and better trained staff, since approval speed has improved and reportedly even communications within Apple and developers is better.

So, whether you’re a developer, what will you be telling Apple? And whether you’re not a developer, does it matter to you that Apple is trying to improve their developer relations?
