I first submitted my app about 3 weeks ago. After the initial submission I got a response about 3 days after submission - my app contained an animated character based on the iPhone. This isn't permitted so I had to change the graphic. Resubmitted and 1 or 2 days later was told that including $0.99 in the description was not permitted. Fixed that. I've now heard nothing for about 2 weeks. During that time I've made some changes locally to my binary which have fixed a couple of issues with my app that arise when the iPhone is low on memory. My question is - now I've got a more stable binary, if i replace the one that's been in waiting for 2 weeks will I go to the back of the waiting queue? Should I just hold out on the chance that Apple won't reproduce the memory bug or should I resubmit? Very bored of waiting!
Update. You will go to the back of the line with a new binary submission. It's a tough call to re-submit after waiting so long.
Been waiting for over a week now for an update to go through. Longest ever since all of my apps go through under a week in the past.
Good luck to you. I've been doing updates for over ten months, and none has taken more than a week. Now I have two updates in the queue for over three weeks and counting.
Mines took two weeks before it got rejected for a minor issue. Then after another 2 weeks it was accepted.
I was rejected in three days, resubmitted and now I'm waiting since 4 days. Yes I know it's few given the time you say. What worries me is the release date I put (for the next friday. So .. what could happen if I change now the release date? Did they put me back in the queue?
Seems to take still more than 2 weeks for updates (I am stil waiting with a critical update for 3.0) -- Just posted a NEW GAME yesterday, see how long this will take. More infos on the game soon.
My 2 previous games were approved in less than 1 week. It's been 3 weeks now and I'm still waiting for an update to Mini Golf Classic Course to get approved.
My two updates just came through after three weeks and two days. Of course, now Apple has screwed up the edit page, and I can't make description changes on one of the apps, and the categories now say I'm in Books instead of Games. Any changes pop an error saying I need to choose the device type, which is impossible to choose. Going through their contact page immediately gives me a returned mail error. What a wonderful system!
Yep great way to communicate with them! They should really implement some sort of queue system that shows the number of apps in line!
I totally agree! All they have to do is add a single line of text to the page, next to your product: "You are in a random position in the queue waiting for the Gods from Cupertino to give you their blessing. Prayer will help speed up the process."
Maybe they don't want people to know what number in the line they are. Because if you know you were number three in a queue but it still took two weeks then you'd complain even more! Or perhaps the process isn't as simple as spending all your time in one queue to be reviewed by one person. For all we know they have specialised reviewers and if your app contains the functionality they specialise in then it has to be spend time in multiple queues. How annoyed would you be if your position in the queue went backwards because you joined the back of another queue? This is a great thread to get a guage on how long things are taking for other devs (19 days and counting for us) but all we can really do is accept the long waits.
