I'm not an iOS developer, so take what I say with a grain of salt:

- The first call mentioned seems to request a URL for iCloud. According to official guidance (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Genera...), you shouldn't call it from a main thread. Is it possible that the poster is doing that? The trace he gave indicates it went wrong during a wait, so that would be the first avenue for searching.

TestFlight may be testing an edge case, but experience learns that if their configuration allows them to do something that crashes your app, you'll have problems like that in the wild too.

- In the second problem, the submission to the appstore, the note from the reviewer clearly indicated that it did launch, but it did not run at the correct resolution. It's supposed to maintain the resolution it would have on an iPhone, not scale up or down by itself. Forgive my bluntness, but this problem seems to be one of language barrier, not of Apple's testing systems.

The post writer comparing his problems to Panic Inc.'s seems a bit much. Panic had a genuine problems with the rules, not a technical one. For them, the process didn't go wrong, the rules it followed simply weren't up to snuff.
