Submitted to App Store: Challenging Process
-
All the requirements are clearly outlined here[^] I went from an empty project to submitted to the app store in 12 hours, reviewed and ready for sale the next day with no issues. :cool:
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
Wow. Is your main computer a Mac? Mine's not. Also, check out this SO question I had to post. Even though the image sizes were exactly the right dimensions the app store rejected them: ios - Why does iTunes Connect reject all images for App Store saying they are wrong size? - Stack Overflow[^] Also, I'm amazed you got through all that stuff with Archiving the app and setting up your id and all that in one day. Are you otherwise employed? Or is your focus as an Apple Dev? Just curious. Thanks for the info. Your App Also, post a link to your app, I'd love to see it in the app store. I can probably get some pointer from it. thanks

Lemme guess: You used safari on a mac, so you didn't get treated like sh1t.

Update: the app has been in the status: "Waiting for review" for almost 36 hours now. There's no activity at all that I can see. I guess this takes a while. :zzz:

36 hours does seem like a long time, I noticed that they don't work 24 hours a day. My status change was around 5pm GMT (not sure what that translates to in $)..

Is there such a think as a main computer these days? :laugh: I use a Windows 7 machine in my current assignment (allocated by my customer) with Visual Studio 2015. I'm working on a complex financial application written in ASP.NET (WebForms!) 12 years ago and hacked ever since. I also develop and maintain their iOS apps. I own a number of other machines - 3 x Windows 10 development machines (Visual Studio 2015, Rider EAP) for .NET web and desktop application development, 2 x Apple MacBook Pro (XCode, Rider EAP, Android Studio plus Adobe CC) for developing native iOS and Android apps and some .NET Core development and 1 x Ubuntu 16.04 ThinkPad (WebStorm, Rider EAP, IntelliJ IDEA) for .NET Core and Java web development. I use them all pretty much equally, although the MacBook is the weapon of choice for design work thanks to the screen and trackpad. [Edit] Gosh, I forgot my Amiga A1200! :) I even have a copy of the software (HiSoft Power BASIC[^]) I used back then to develop applications.. I still play around with it occassionally these days when I get time.[/EDIT] I'm not sure if you're using XCode for iOS development, you didn't say? You can submit your app directly out of XCode - the only thing you need to do on the iTunes website is set up your app details. XCode shows [which icons you need^] (you should try and supply all of the required sized). Outside of my day-to-day work, I develop apps for myself. The app that I mentioned was dreamed up on a Saturday, coded and submitted on a Sunday and live in the app store on the Monday. It's a simple app, easy to design the icons for (although it's about to go through a re-design once the corresponding ASP.NET/Angular site is finished.. iPhone version[^] iPad version[

It really was a long time, then, BOOM - they evaluated it and moved it to the store in about 1 hour. Strange, but I'll take it. :)

That was a great and informative post. Thanks for sharing.

I agree. That was the model I was hoping to take on too. Some say that apple makes it difficult to release updates, but I'm hoping that is not true. Thanks again,

So far for me, the timescales have been the same after submission. It's certainly easier not having to create all the online data each time, but remember that you need to create a new release on the website before you try submitting it, and the version numbers have to match exactly. :)
