Elon Musk’s payment platform dubbed xMoney is close to its launch, slated for an early public access in the coming month of April. Ahead of this much anticipated event, Musk took to X on Tuesday to call out delayed app reviews on Apple’s iOS ecosystem.
Nikita Bier, the head of product at X, called out iOS developers on Tuesday seeking clarity on how long are app reviews taking these days.
“It is now taking longer to get our app approved than it is to build the actual features,” Bier complained.
Resharing Bier’s post, Musk slammed Apple saying the dragged out response time for getting back to the developers with feeedbacks on apps has become ridiculous.
While Bier did not specify that this was about xMoney, he did say that they are awaiting for a spam built review on four “solutions”, claiming that the app awaiting review is suffering from an overdue clarity from the iPhone-maker.
xMoney will be launched as a fintech platform that will likely let users trade in stocks as well as crypto, while letting them make wallet-to-wallet financial transactions.
On March 3, veteran Hollywood actor William Shatner had received an early access into xMoney, of which he shared screenshots on X. It showed options for users to earn annual percentage yields of up to six percent on paycheck deposits, claim an “X Card”, and tap cashback offers.
While xMoney’s early access is planned for April, Musk has not disclosed a definitive timeline for the platform’s commercial rollout as yet.
As of now, Apple has not responded to the comments made by Musk or Bier.
