Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated

For apps with generic update messages that also have source control and changelogs available: check to see how often the updates are just a manifest version bump and nothing more. Way greater than zero.
Most version revs for apps are just to reset review count and bury negative reviews with “review of an older version”.
It’s all gamification of walled gardens. Walled gardens that need to die.

Is that an iOS thing? On Android versions don’t reset reviews, and there is no “review of older version” message.

Play store does the same game.

I’ve never seen that happen, in fact bad reviews about problems in my apps keep being shown at the top of the list, even though the problems were solved years ago and the reviews are about a very early version.
