When you submit, does Apple even send some form of a "You've submitted an app" e-mail? We submitted, it does show up in iTune Connect. But no e-mail was ever received. Thanks. Ben
Nope, no email will be sent. You might get an email when the app is approved, but not always - to be safe, you should check your app status in iTunesConnect daily.
Do you have any idea if they work during weekends? I mean if games get approved also during weekend and appear in appstore or is it just working days only? I'm sick of checking the review page every day, so would be nice to have a break during weekend
I can't say what a long time is, or isn't, as it appears there are hundreds of apps being submitted to the store each day. I'm sure the people doing the reviews are doing the absolute best they can. I will say however, the multitudes updates on 'specific sports team' and 'travel city guide' apps needs to start taking a back seat to people who are actually trying to do this thing legitimately. lol Saying that, it's been 9 days since we submitted version 1.002 of Synth Racing. Here's to hoping it's out soon!
yup been exactly one week since our submission (very first one) + no news yet. it' s a drag but you know what, i am just happy its out the door and I have no shortage of other things to do while waiting on it. seriously - while you are waiting, just start cranking on your next baby!! There's no time like the present.. if it takes another week from now I won't think it's too bad, if it starts going on from there then I might be antsy ----------------------------------------- btw think about the Dark Ages, when people would drop floppy disks in the mail and hope that they'd land publication some months later (.....) in the magazines, yikes..
Taxi Jam Hey Guys, It looks like you just have to wait it out I am afraid, obviously there is a lot of stuff being submitted to Apple at the moment - we have been waiting since 6th July for Taxi Jam to be approved, still nothing heard. Hope you guys won't have to wait this long! Patience is a virtue and all that! Cheers, Ringo nerv media
Wow, did they simply forget everyone who submitted their game around that holiday weekend? I submitted Archangel: FGC on July 5 and I've been in limbo since. Granted, I did get two rejections due to graphic issues (large and small icons not matching, then using an image of an iPhone in my logo), but I've always uploaded the correction within a few hours, and since then all I got were canned responses... "Thank you for uploading a new binary. We will notify you if there are any further issues." Grrr....
Forgotten Hi BeyondtheTech, We received confirmation today that the game has been released - we had no issues with it at all - just silence for three weeks and then a release. If you want to try the game you can download it here cheers, Ringo nerv media
Well you've convinced me, it looks interesting If you get a single sale in New Zealand for today you know who it was!
I submitted my game on the 10th of July and it was approved on the 25th of July. I think during the wait you just need to try and forget about it or try and do some early marketing.
Good news / Bad news The Good news is the queue might be freeing up a bit. I got a response back on my Trak4 1.1 update in 7 days. The bad news is that the reviewer rejected it! I guess that makes me a real developer now. The problem is that the reviewer rejected the app for artwork that had appeared in Trak4 1.0 AND Trak4 Lite 1.0. More details here http://trak4game.com/?page_id=46
Hooray! Cheers BeyondtheTech, We are hoping the game does well after such a long wait. It would be interesting to get peoples wait times for their applications and graph them against the date that they submitted them. It might help give us devs a better idea of what our wait times are likely to be. If anyone is interested in doing this with me then get in touch! Cheers, Ringo nerv media
