After a brief chat with Monte and Kristen, we've decided that we're going to submit a build to Apple on Friday 5th September. This build will contain whatever fixes we have for iOS 8 compatibility issues at the time. We've set this hard submission date so that we don't just spend forever trying to "get that last fix in!" and never get a build to them... and so that Monte can relax on his vacation knowing that we've got our fixes in! :-)
We can always submit *another* iOS 8 compatibility build next week if we get more fixes in. But let's set our initial sights on submitting on the 5th.
