Guess who makes it hard to submit many templated apps in an automated fashion? You guessed it, it's Apple.

Given that they claim to individually review each app within a short timeframe, a bulk upload would make it impractical for them to provide this service.

Then they shouldn’t require it by creating stupid rules that require submitting hundreds of largely identifiable apps.

And they do a super good job at reviewing apps, right? /s

I knew someone would make this comment, but sarcasm aside, you don’t seem to be disagreeing.

I am not agreeing with you, sorry. If they made good reviews, impartial reviews I could agree with you, but the way they do it nowadays could mostly be automatized (or at least do in a bulk, this is essentially what they do anyway in terms of quality).
