I can verify this from my bosses company's experience with Chuck Norris over iChuck; Apple is not involved. They basically send you an email saying "handle it".

Hmmm, I never got an email like that. Yet all my contracts have the green check mark and look fine in itunes connect. I wonder if they really are ok. My first paid app is still being approved.

By the way, here is the link to my app

First app, so please be kind with the feedback

And yet Apple stands to profit from the sales. They have some liability, but I suppose it is easier for copyright owners to go after the little guy instead of the Apple legal juggernaught.

App submitted on the 2/10/09 -- now orbiting planet "In Review"

yonnage · 02-13-2009, 09:47 PM

5 days waiting.

Does Apple approve/reject apps on weekends too, or is it mainly a business day thing?

Thanks.

I don't know their schedule, but I've had updates approved on both Saturday & Sunday.

GenieApps · 02-14-2009, 03:16 AM

My app was approved today. It was submitted on Jan 22nd.

CommanderData · 02-14-2009, 10:41 AM

At last! I thought the day would never come when I'd be able to post in this thread.... I submitted my first game to the app store last night. If only I had been able to work full time on it...

I know I've never really asked for help here, usually just trying to give help whenever I'm able, but a lot of posters have provided bits of info that were very valuable to me anyway! Thanks

Now for the waiting

Hopefully it won't get kicked back for something stupid I've overlooked...

Great news and good luck. Let's us know the name of the game once its available.

Absolutely! I will be sharing a handful of promo codes with people here as well once I get the approval (in hopes of spuring some good reviews

)

YES! Congrats Commander, join the club; I'm sure your going to knock it out of the park!

ihuangeri · 02-14-2009, 01:45 PM

My entertainment app was submitted Feb 9th and still waiting.

Thank you, I appreciate the support!

I guess it's no use hiding the details anymore, TouchArcade.com has just posted an article about my game! Look at the game Rogue Touch over there

Hopefully Apple will hurry up and approve it for this coming week.

Hi, I too can finally post in this thread, I have just uploaded my app at:

15th February 2009 20:08

I started my app on the 2nd of January, so that's 45 days, not bad :-)

Let's see what happens!

chevoldavis · 02-16-2009, 09:52 AM

Add me to the list, I submitted mine Feb 12. US Developer, free app. Simple app just to see what the process was like, now moving on to something bigger.

dabrow · 02-16-2009, 09:56 AM

Update submitted on the 08 febr. waiting ...

nambrot · 02-16-2009, 10:29 AM

Nam's Remote submitted on Jan 25th

Grumps · 02-16-2009, 12:01 PM

45 days is a healthy incubation time, hopefully you'll do well... My game was in development for over 4 months!! That was only part time though, so I might have been able to make 60-90 days... Someone needs to invent the 40 hour day so I can get a week's worth of work done in a hurry

Clock's still ticking on mine, only been in review since Friday the 13th... Hopefully not a bad day to submit

yonnage · 02-16-2009, 07:28 PM

I got the email that my app was "Ready for Sale" about an hour ago!! It took just about 7 days to be approved.

I went into iTunesConnect and changed the sale date to today, like everyone suggests.

Does anyone know how long until the app shows in the iTunes Store, in search or under the category?

Thanks

yonnage · 02-16-2009, 10:08 PM

OK - it's finally up. It took about an hour or so to show up in search, but now it's there

Game: Binary Game

Global high scores found here

hijinksinc · 02-17-2009, 10:52 AM

Game got approved yesterday evening! Feb. 9th - Feb 16th, not bad.

It's really basic, so please be kind. You can get it here.

I've already submitted an update for approval, which adds:
- Score function
- Highscores
- Pause function
- New level graphics
- Improved load times

CommanderData · 02-17-2009, 11:10 AM

Yonnage, I took 3KLTFTR6KLJW and gave you a good review. Excellent job on your game, simple idea but well executed and fun!

Gah, I wish I'd get approved soon. Nobody told me how horrible the wait would be! All I can do is check my e-mail and refresh iTunes connect every 10 minutes... Why Apple, why?

Fuzzy Logic · 02-17-2009, 01:25 PM

My app got approved yesterday but saw the email only today... I'm so excited that the wait is finally over.

I've submitted it on 05/02 and got a rejection on 11/02, resent the same day and on 16/02 got approved, so the 5-6 days wait seems to hold.

My app is called MySongbook, and it's an app for finding and displaying song's chords (songs lyrics with their chords, and not like the many apps that show how to play chords).

Here are some promotional codes:
MTYLYWR9YLF9
K76TPM7HXMXK
RPMXM944PMY9

I also wanted to thank everyone who write on this forum. Though I haven't posted much, I always found that most of my issues were already asked about and answered, so thanks for all the help!
