Given that I've taken care of releasing all the allocated variables.
I also went thru the HIG to make the app as much as possible like what they want it to be.
Do they check the my complexity of the code in the approval process?
thanks

You don't send your code to Apple, just the compiled binaries for the iPhone platform.

Sure about that? I was under the impression that they did check the source for security reasons.

I'm positive. I have two apps in the store and others in development. You send binaries.

While they will sometimes cite developers for HIG violations, they do not check your source code.
They can't! They don't have access to it - you submit a binary, not the source.
Now, if your app crashes all the time because of poor memory management, you may get a rejection for that reason.
The App Store reviewers are not developers. They do not check your source code. You do not submit your source code to Apple.

While it's true that you don't submit your source code, I'm assuming that you don't have any information that others don't, and so saying that the reviewers "are not developers" is just conjecture on your part, correct? There may well be reviewers who are developers; this wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Reviewers may be developers in their spare time just as they may be arborists.What I meant was, knowledge of Cocoa Touch/Obj-C is not in the job description when they hire for these positions.Anyway, this has nothing to do with the original question.

@Hunter: Do you know this to be true? Again, I would not be at all surprised if they hired people with development experience intentionally. There's no need to be condescending...you're making a claim in your answer and I'm asking if you have an authoritative basis on which to make that claim or if it's simply your intuition.

My comment is based on job listings posted on Apple's recruitment Web site over the past year.

P.S.: My apologies. Response was not pointed at your question but at the idea that the same people who've approved all the sludge on the AppStore would go to such lengths.
BWAAAahahahahahaahhahaHAHAHAHA... sniff, ...
OK, seriously. It's likely they'll run Instruments on your binary to see if there are any leaks so you might want to do it yourself before submitting. But I'd be really surprised they'd have time, what with all the bikini and fart apps awaiting approval on top of having to meticulously sift through every app looking for dirty words.
Thanks. You made my day.

Sheesh. People lose their sense of humor around here. I've talked to AppStore people at WWDC. They're nice and hardworking, but still prone to human error. And they laugh about all the hoopla. Besides, nothing I said was factually incorrect.
