App Store acceptance taking a loooooonngg time..

Well no longer counting! Both Sheepish and Sheepish Lite updates have just been approved after 19 days in review. No rejections during that process.

 

I wish there was a way, as a consumer, to punish Apple for this horsecrap. Honestly. I've been waiting for the Isotope update for a long ass time now - And the game is broken until the update is accepted. I'm being punished as a consumer because Apple hasn't hired enough 5 cents a hour Indians to approve the apps fast enough.

 

Update Approval process

Seems to be what takes forever.

My first run through only took 8 days to get Trak4 through the doors.

Will see how long the 1.1 update takes when I finish it up.

Yeah our update for Tipix has been in review for about 13 days...

Original app submission took about 25 days, though.

 

Our app Durak was just approved after about 3 weeks.

 

The update for Mini Golf Classic Course was approved in the middle of the night last night... exactly 3 weeks in review with no rejections.

 

My new game (LITE version) has been approved after 11 days and an update after exactly 20 days.

 

Had an update for one of my apps finally approved after 19 days, initial submission only took 6.

 

Submitted two updates on June 7th and 10th, both were approved at the same time the night of the 23rd.

 

Got my update approved finally, after about 3 weeks I think.

Downloading as we speak

 

I'm losing my patience for the Zenonia update. I have waited weeks for it.

 

Weeks as in two? Cos if so you've probably still got another one to wait...

 

Damm! A mail from Apple

"Your application, is requiring unexpected additional time for review. We apologize for the delay, and will update you with further status as soon as we are able."

 

I gather that usually means there's something they have a problem with. That happened with my first update, and I got a call from Apple soon afterward about something they wanted me to take out of the app description.

Thanks Eric5h5,

From my experience, yes they do have a problem. figuring what.

The other time they send me a similar message, they rejected my app after a 6 months delay (I think a world record)

 

Does anyone know if there is still an issue with the release date in iTunes connect?

I submitted resubmitted my App on tuesday (it was rejected due to some human user interface issue). I have my release date set 2 weeks forward. Which is July 6th.

Will the release date issue be fixed? I dont want my app showing up at the end of the listing for adventure.

 

you dont need to change the release date, just at the day when its ready for sale set the date to the same days date - you can do this only once and only at the day of "ready for sale", he date seems also to be adjuted then for any time zones (I had for example here 15thjune and it was displayed then as 14th june )

 

Thanks!

Looks like I have to wait and see. Experience the system. Hard to just read and apply it to something not in front of me.

 

Hooray, my new apps - Get Lippy! and Get Lippy! Lite just got approved by Apple:
