Well, that was fast. Just a few hours after releasing its long-awaited Gmail for iOS, Google announced on Twitter that it is pulling the app over a notification bug. Many users spotted a "no valid 'aps-environment' error entitlement" on first launch, and it appears the problem was bad enough to get the app pulled entirely from the App Store.

A lot of bugs can’t be seen until you put it on a huge market to test. You can set up as many approval processes and beta testers as you want, but bugs need to be field tested in a wide audience to really get debugged properly.

This ones particularly bad, your presented with an error as soon as you open it. Usually field testing takes care of the endless permutations that the developers themselves don’t have the time for.

The approval process isn’t intended to find bugs, the approval process is more about checking that no private APIs are being used, that the App has a reason for the sandbox permissions it has requested, etc. The process is intended to protect consumers from developers, not to protect developers from themselves.

I think you and I both know that’s not what the OP was saying. Of course there’s been buggy software as long as there have been bugs. What the OP was talking about was Google’s specific history with their apps in the App Store. It seems as though they test their apps with less scrutiny than the average app developer. It’s striking, especially coming from a company made up of more than 4 people.

I’m sorry, I guess I’m missing something. Other than the fact that a (buggy) product now has to be pulled off the App Store, what else is new? Google has been pushing buggy products for years, so has Microsoft and others. I agree with you that it’s stinking and yes, they should do more QA. And yes, the history repeats itself now with the App Store. Skype for iPad was the recent example also

I agree — the only reason why I earlier used to use gmail.com in Safari was to get conversations view. Since iOS native mail app has added conversations views (was it in 4.0?), I am now happy with it — I will probably not make the move.
However, one thing I think would be beneficial in gmail app is autocomplete of gmail contacts, instead of autocomplete of iPhone contacts. And search would hopefully be faster.

There’s a big difference between apps being incompatible with iOS 5 and Google releasing an app so buggy you can’t even use it. You can’t honestly expect any OS vendor to test every app out there. It’s incumbent upon the developer to download the betas and test their own software.
