As a lot of us have participated in the App Store acceptance taking a loooooonngg time..-thread I'm curious about when anyone here actually last got the stamp of approval by Apple and when they admitted the App/update?
Aerial Combat was accepted on the 2nd of June. Still waiting for updates for both Stick Escape and Aerial Combat. It has been over 2 weeks for the Stick Escape update
Our latest educational flashcard app (WhichWord - 156 most commonly confused words) was just released June 8th after 1-2 weeks in the queue. We are still waiting on our Brain Blaze Spelling update to get approved.
my latest app was approved yesterday. Took about 16 days for the approval. It's not a game. More like a fun app. My Own Theme Song
They reviewed my app for 7 days, after that asked to make icon 512x512 and icon 57x57 the same(they were different), and then i fixed that, 7 more days they reviewed the app...
Now the PortOfCallLT (lite of ports of call) just was switched ready for sale (update to 1.3) waiting since 28th of may. Seems as the pipeline now gets worked through.
Thanks a lot for all the feedback guys. Seems things are slowly starting to move into gear again. I've waited exactly 2 weeks today for my update go to through. I guess the chances it will be approved this week are good.
smackBOTS got approved on June 8th, we submitted May 22nd, resubmitted after reject on June 1st. So it's looking like 7 days for review.
Last I submitted was on June 2nd and it was approved on June 10th. Usually takes 4-5 days for me but I think this recently release was delayed because I missed out on the rating section.
Just interested in those people that have been approved in about a week. Are your submissions new applications or updates? If they are updates are they substantial or just minor? The reason I ask is that we submitted major updates to Sheepish and it's lite version and it's been 11 days so far for both. I wonder if the volume of changes plays much part in approval time or if most of the time is spent in a queue and the size of the update is mostly irrelevant.
I doubt if the size or changes in updates do affect much on the time because I did had major patches for my games in the past and they still gets through under a week.
Last game here got approved last Friday. it was through 2 rejections. All 3 waiting periods were almost 2 weeks. :-(
Just got my update approved today. 18 days and that's without any rejections. From the number of available updates on my phone today I think there's a virtual tsunami of apps and updates on its way.
Let's hope you're right! We're at 15 days so the end might well be in sight. I too have noticed a lot of updates coming through recently.
