That would depend on if updates had any impact on the release of the app(s). It could be that:
- the app(s) need certain updates to be in place on the site before release.
- (as eBid has said) progress of the app(s) is out of their hands so they may as well get on with other things.
- the development of the app(s) is in other hands than the development of the site updates.
The point was that it is yet another announcement from eBid that they have failed to deliver.
