Also, just to throw my stats out there...
I've done 8 apps so far.
3 apps to completion so far.
1 in review
1 almost done
1 outright rejected
2 put on permanent "hold game"
App #1. simple tabs, with different simple things on each tab. took 6.5 days to review and go "ready for sale" - This was in MAY
App #2. this used xml parsing, read from a WS on the internet, dynamically generated content, had acheivements within game as well. very complex stuff. Apple F-ers took 35 days to respond to me and say that I had used an "add contact (+)" button 'inappropriately'. (not to mention while in review i tested this app thoroughly and found like 20 memory leaks, BUT NO THAT WASNT BIG ENOUGH TO REJECT IT!! it had to be the add contact button. WOOOOW morons.) I fixed the issue promptly and after submit.. it was in the store "read for sale" in 7 days. This saga occured from June 5th -> July 15th
App #3. this one was very similar to app #2 and I had the same problem as App #2 (I submitted them at about the same time, maybe 1 week later than #2) I rejected this myself and fixed it after 20 days wait with ZERO emails from apple, and once I resubmitted it, it took 9.5 days to get into the store. This all occured from June 12th -> July 22nd.
App #4. had some "questionable content" -> nothing for 2 weeks, then that "we'll get back to you" email. and then ZERO response after that. It's been like this for 1.5 months now.
App #5. same as #4
App #6. this one was outright rejected b/c I was really pushing the limit as far as their puritan standards go. I expected a rejection... and for this one THEY ACTUALLY GAVE ME A PHONE CALL a week and a half after I submited it. The dude was sorta embarrased talking to me and STILL WOULDNT SAY WHY IT WAS REJECTED!!! THOSE F-ING COWARDS!!!! EVEN TALKING TO THEM IS MORONIC!!
App #7. i submitted this one at about 11:30pm on Monday this week. That makes 4 solid days for review with no response yet from apple
App #8. I'll be submitting either tonight or tomorrow morning and will report my results for the glorious statistics of the internet masses to cherish.
