@thegibson okay, I can now real-time this sucker.

I’m the technical lead on a fairly significant app project that has been going for two and a half years now. We release to the public on Monday (less than 36 hours from now).

This morning, I get an email that we’ve managed to miss that analytics aren’t hooked up on the iOS build of the app that is staged to go out the door. Embarrassing, but we’ll ship a post launch update fairly quickly, and nobody is inconvenienced but marketing.

While putting in the fix for _that_ we stumble over the fact even though folks have been frantically doing all sorts of testing on this app for weeks on end, _nobody_ has thought to test new account creation recently on the iOS build, and it is _broken_ — did I mention this is staged to go out the door in 36 hours?

We’ve now got a fixed for this, but of course there is no telling how long it’ll take Apple review to get this through (and certainly not til sometime on Monday AT BEST)

It’s gonna be a spicy release day, and as the technical leader, I’m ultimately responsible that this is happening.

@evilchili @thegibson well, turns out there is a little mercy in the world. Apple okay’d our hotfix this morning, so we will be able to release tomorrow with analytics and without the broken account creation. Huzzah!
