Hi!

I have published my first game to itunesconnect 3 days ago. How many days "simple game" can be In Review state?

Thanks.

Same here! I submted on Sunday and it come on the app store on Sunday. It is hard to wait, but it is worth it. BTW: I got a sale today in GBD (I think) currency, does anyone know what that is?

Good luck with your app!

Yes sir! I was on vacation (Golfing), but I think that it took 2 maybe 3 hours after it was approved. Now, I am waiting for apple to review 1.1.

haha... add me to the list of "submitted on sunday, approved the next sunday" folks. I wonder if apple actually gets a huge influx of games submitted for approval on sunday. All these "nights and weekends" devs working hard all weekend and submitting right before bedtime on Sunday.

That must be it! I guess I am popular in Great Britain! 1 sale in 1 day from GB. LOL. Thanks!

I submitted mine on Monday actually. If you look at the iScreamer! screenshots on iTunes, it is 1:46 am on Monday morning :p

I thought GB used the Euro.

So ignorant, man...

By the way, did you know about Google?

You can simply type GBP there and you'll magically get a list of stuff that have some connections with this strange currency.

There are 5 iScreamers, which of them is yours? :)

Only 1 iScreamer. Apple does not allow the same name twice. All of the other ones that have scream in them are like those dumb web jokes that make a scary picture pop up. None of them are like mine :p

Ok, mine is the one in my description, and the one that is sold by App Tech Studios. Version 1.1 is coming soon! Thanks for asking ;)

Also, make sure to start on your free/paid license paperwork at the beginning of development and not when you're finished and submitting :) We got our first release delayed almost a month for forgetting about that..

Yes, thank you. I was wrong :(

EDIT: Why do you ask which iScreamer is yours? How about you look in my signature!! LOL ;)

I'm waiting for my game to be approved, just wondering if you get email notification when it is approved? At the moment I'm checking my iTunes Connect account every 15 mins. ;) I would stop bothering if I knew I was getting an email when it happens.

you get an email if you have a problem in the approval
I get no confirmation when my game was approved.

Thanks rdklein, guess I'll still be checking often then!

I got an email when my game was approved, the subject said: Your application status is Ready for Sale

Maybe this is because I set the date on my app to before the app ended up being approved :eek: I ended up changing it right away and it got to the top of the new released list after all.

Interesting tip allenp, I woldn't have thought you could change the release date after it had been approved - good to know if the same happens to me.
