app: Tube Bias
category: utility
type: first submit
submit date: March 2nd
approved date: March 6th

I feel pretty good about the whole process so far, I keep waiting to be blindsided by something I over looked, but it seemed to go pretty smooth.

You get daily reports. You can check your sales everyday at 10 AM ( German time) for the previous day downloads.

Yes! It is pretty darn exciting to sell your first app. Like hosam said, there are daily reports. You can also view weekly and monthly reports as they become available. Good luck on your submission.

So are there any "Toasties" in your Tube Bias?

I had an update rejected yesterday because the name in the AppStore is not the same name as the app. This happened because they were taking so long to approve the update that I temporarily changed the name on the AppStore to see if it boosted sales. So when they did get around to looking at it, the names were different and they rejected it. It took them a further 2 days to let me know - they looked at it on Friday (there is analytics code in the app) but didn't tell me until Sunday evening, so wasting another couple of days.

The update adds more content and is also a bug fix. I don't want to promote the app until the update has gone through, so this has wasted nearly a month so far.

I am new to all this so when I update my first application other than content and changing the version to 1.1 any other tips? (i guess dont change the name is one).

Heh, yeah, don't change the name, and make sure your version number is correct because you won't be able to change it if you get it wrong.

You just have to enter the information about 'What's new in this version' and upload the binary. You can change the "What's new' information after uploading the binary if you want to.

When you say dont change the name you mean on the title that you enter on Itunes, or on the page where you enter the website? What I have done is keep the Xcode the same as the, title... thanks again (NEW at this).

spinyanteater · 03-23-2009, 01:17 PM

To quote my email from Apple: "The name entered into iTunes Connect must match the name of the application installed.".

Normally it would match of course. Where I went wrong was in renaming the app in iTunes Connect, because I wanted a different name to appear in the AppStore, after uploading an update with the old name.

kilobytedump · 03-23-2009, 02:21 PM

Ah crap!

/runs to change names back.

scotopia · 03-23-2009, 02:31 PM

There must be some leeway this; because my application is named Ninja Buddy; but the store title is Amazing Ninja Buddy.

In other news I've been waiting for a week for them to approve the latest Ninja Buddy update...

I wondered that. My European version is called Chirp! but on the AppStore I have it as Chirp! v2. The problem was when I changed Chirp! USA to BirdSongs USA.

My issue was the x code was different from the name on the Icon and it got rejected, I went back and renamed everything to be one thing. I wonder if this will mess everything up.

I have not seen much lag at all in iTunes Connect. I submit my app and within a week they approve it. All updates are also taking less than a week.

The app has hit #6 for top paid travel apps in about 10 days. You should check it out to find the best airline prices.

I like your app. I was thinking on doing something like that but didn't know where to find the data...
Best of luck.

Texaser · 03-23-2009, 04:52 PM

I just submitted an application this morning,
If I reject my own application and resubmit it do I need to change it to
1.1
I made some major change.
but this was a new application to begin with

Thanks. I think you should buy it and then tell all of your friends.
