My very simple app has been 'in review' for 4 days so far. Is that normal? There is not much to it and I doubt it would take more than an hour to test it (at most).
4 days isn't normal, but it is getting closer to Dec 24th. They have a lot of apps to test before that date.
My last two submissions were "In Review" for 7 days and 5 days. The second one was a simple bug fix with no functionality changes.
Our new game GraalOnline Classic was 10 days "In Review", got approved after 13 days and 23 hours after submission (seems like Apple wants to keep that 14 days record)
Wow, okay I guess my experience is way off. Our normal 'In Review' is about 2 days. From submission to approval usually takes between 1.5 to 2 weeks. I've heard of submissions taking 4+ weeks to be approved, even for some well known titles by well known developers.
My experience over the past year or so: WallZ was reviewed in 4 days. War3100 took 60 days. Zenflation took 12 days. I think the more involved the game is, the longer it takes to review. War3100 has tons of contents compared to the other two (although Zenflation by far has the most unique gameplay.)
There's a difference between "in review" and "waiting for review". My last two submits have taken 1 week in waiting, then 2 days in review. A previous app, a long time ago, took 30+ days and was eventually rejected. That's annoying when they reject you for something that can be fixed in 5 minutes.
Yeah, that is just stupid. I don't know about anyone else, but as soon as I submit to Apple, I immediately start working on an update within a couple days. You could have at least 2-3 updates in that 60 days. I wonder how long the updates took to be approved.
I think Apple is trying to discourage this sort of behavior with their recent changes that no longer highlight updated apps. They are pushing developers towards "Finish then release" and away from "release then finish".
The large icon was not similar enough to the small icon. That was in the early days - I was young and naïve and hadn't read the instructions closely enough.
Yep, mine is actually 'in review'. Maybe there is a problem as it is almost 5 days now and really is a simple app.
Our latest app has been "in review" for 7 days tomorrow. Normally our apps are "waiting for review" for a week or so and then "in review" for barely a day. I guess Apple is a little backlogged.
