I submitted my game 'GridBuster' to the app store a few hours ago (1/1/09), now to wait and see how long it'll take. =P

I'm still waiting for Apple to approve my enrollment into the program so I can begin serious debugging on my iPod itself. Been waiting about a week or so already, and if what I'm hearing from app submissions is true, I may be waiting for a while longer 0.o

Send them an email, I was waiting for 2 weeks, I got fed up and emailed them, turns out they approved it but forgot to send out the email...

I finally got my app ready to ship and it is now being reviewed (as of about 8 hours ago).

What's the shortest time you guys have had to wait? My app is really small, so I hope that helps shorten the time frame.

I think the holidays slowed them down a lot.

Also, they seem to be rejecting for very small things (maybe to just get it off their plate?).

We have about 5 or 6 new apps/updates out there waiting to be approved since before Christmas.

They declined 2 of them recently for very minor issues (ones we have never been rejected for before).

Hey, can you give us some examples of why your apps have been rejected? It might help the rest of us. I've been waiting since January 1st, it's now January 5th, in about an hour, it'll be exactly 5 days.

Mine rejected (meaning "Application submission feedback" for issue of table view having the item highlited. It should've been highlited only momentarily. That's an example.

I submitted an update on December 21st. It got rejected on the 29th because they used a web browser with the http protocol to try to access my FTP server in my app update. My FTP server didn't understand the GET or User-Agent commands. I told them to try using an FTP client program, but they told me I had to resubmit. I guess they can't approve a rejected app.

So I uploaded a new version with some changes I had in the works that I quickly completed. But then I found a couple of other glitches, so I rejected my binary and uploaded a new one with the fixes. I did that on January 4th. So I guess I've been put back to the bottom of the queue. I sent a couple of follow-up emails, but I haven't heard back from them.

Mine was rejected for using the standard "refresh" button to reload the a view. Their argument is that the 'refresh" in this case would change the contents and therefore "confuse" the users. My argument was that the dictionary definition of "refresh" means that I am correct, and they are wrong. Either way I made the change immediately and resubmitted but nothing since.

personally I think I'm being penalised for answering back...working with Apple feels like being at school again.

With the amount of support emails they get, I doubt they even noticed it

The updates to my existing apps (below) were rejected because of the tableview highlight issue, also, even though this has been in the app ever since it was approved a couple of months ago. Mr. Devprograms says when the user touches a table cell it highlights briefly but it needs to do something like display a check mark or move to a different view. It just can't sit there highlighted.

Annoying no doubt, especially since it's been there for a while... but at least it's an easy enough fix (Assuming that the cell remaining highlighted is not needed, that is).

My first app was rejected for two reasons: large icon did not match small icon and I documented the app as being standalone when in fact it requires the GPS. It took me about 30 minutes to fix both problems but the total time took almost 2 weeks to get the app approved.

Now the app has been in the "Pending Contract" state for almost a month.

Quick question for all of you. When you have contacted Apple re the status of your submission, how have you contacted them? By Phone or email and if so what number/email did you use?

I'd also like to know this, if anyone has an email address, that would be wonderful.

Apple got back to me regarding an app I made via telephone. I talked to the apple guy for a bit because my app was rejected. He went over the reasons why and said I would be able to make a few changes and re submit and I would be ok. He then told me specifically that if I wanted, I could think about changes to my app over the weekend and then email him to get his opinion or advice on if it will be approved or not. I was excited about this... until I emailed him and got a response back.

I sent an email talking about the changes I would make, and asked if that would get me approved. I contacted him just like he told me to. I got an email back from him saying "I cannot comment on anything in this email or add anything further to our phone conversation, thank you".

So I was kinda annoyed that one day he told me to contact him and gave me his work email, then when i do what he asked, he tells me that he cant talk to me. Seems kinda pointless.

Submitted: Dec 21
Rejected: Jan 6

At this time, STAT E&M LITE cannot be posted to the App Store because it is crashing on iPhone OS 2.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.5. To reproduce, launch the application then tap the Exam button at the bottom of the screen. Please refer to the attached crash logs.

More info if you are morbidly curious:

In asking about the status of my app "Pending Contract", I emailed to: devcontracts@apple.com and received a reply within the same day. It outlined the two steps required: 1) Legal processing where one clicks through the various agreements and 2) banking and tax info setup. It was a good reply since they confirmed I was done with step #1. However there are a few too many "if's" and "may's" which indicates I'm still in the queue for #2 and my exact status is not clear. They did say that contract processing priority for setup is given to applications that are approved to go live. It can take days or weeks depending on their work load.
