"依赖" 要比“等待”更实际。 请参考"wait on" 除了“侍候”之外的一般常用用法和意义:
2. To wait for a person to do something.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wait_on
根据前后文,这些使用Rollout.io 的developers不需要Apple在App Store上做任何处理便可径自"push code-level changes to native iOS apps”。
所以在前文里一开始Apple对这些developers发出通知这样的做法违反了Apple的规定。
如果按照你的解释和建议,则是这些developers不需要在App Store 上等(等什么?!)--在App Store 上等新版出现的应该是app users,不是developers。
Developers要等的是:如果按照Apple的规定,这些公司的 hot patching frameworks 需要经过 Apple 的审核确定后才能放到 App Store 上面去。
所以post文是在解释:
developers使用Rollout.io 可以不需经过Apple的approval review之类的程序就能让users下载并"push code-level changes to native iOS apps”。
所以“wait on" 不是单纯的表示“等待” 而是“wait for Apple to do something." 当然,更不是指”developers”要在App Store上面等新版的出现。”
所以说, "依赖” 要比直译“等待”更具体。

@jarv95888: Quote your “There's a reason to use "wait on" instead of "wait for."”

"wait on" 和 "wait for."没有可比性。前者是句子中的相互独立的两个部分,后者是一个动词短语。

FYI

不用在App Store上等待

waiting 的逻辑主语是developers

亦即这些人不用再到App Store上翘首企盼

你的"不用等待新版本出现在App Store上"是正解.

Linguistically speaking,

waiting on the App Store = waiting FOR SOMETHING IN the App Store

那个SOMETHING就是你说的"新版本"

Store之前的介词本来是IN, 因为the App Store是线上的,所以改为ON

waiting on 不能连在一起读, 因为它不是类似于"wait for" 那样的动词短语

原来需要到the App Store去买补丁才能做出的更新和升级,现在点开Rollout.io就能办到了,不需要等着它们被发布到the App Store了。
