   Hi I just received the email below from Apple. Does anyone know how long you typically how long is the delay? I submitted my app a week ago.

   We are currently reviewing an app that you submitted for inclusion on the App Store, and want to let you know that the review process will require additional time. We apologize for the delay and will provide you with an update on the status of your app as soon as possible.

   Hmm, I believe this means you may be getting a phone call. What is the nature of your app?

   paste the message in Google and you'll see some other incidents

   Just a silly bubble wrap game :) I named it Bubble-Wrap games. I noticed the name "Bubble Wrap" is copyrighted by Lima Sky on the app store so this may be related.

   Hmm, yes well Lima Sky was being pretty aggressive about owning "Doodle" for a while but they backed off since their argument wasn't strong enough. Maybe they've got a better ownership of "Bubble Wrap" , as you say.

   Keep us up to date!

   Well, for the apps I submitted it was within a week before the status changed from in review to another one.

   I have got the additional time before. You do sometimes get a call, sometimes it gets approved, and sometimes it gets denied with a more detailed explanation as to why.

   It typically takes X hours before your app is approved or rejected.

   I think that the "require additional time" means the reviewer kicked it up to their supervisor/manager for a second look.

   I'm going to go out on a limb and say it might be because there are a LOT of bubble wrap type games out there, and they might be considering whether it is OK under this guideline:

   "2.11 Apps that duplicate apps already in the App Store may be rejected, particularly if there are many of them, such as fart, burp, flashlight, and Kama Sutra apps."

   Good luck, though. I personally love a good bubble wrap game, esp. if you can color it red. (long story) Good stress reliever.

   Wait another week just to get this message:

   Thank you for submitting Bubble-Wrap to the App Store. We've reviewed Bubble-Wrap and determined that we cannot post your application because it appears to contain features, namely, imagery and terminology in your application's title and keywords, that bear a resemblance to a well-known third-party mark, the Bubble-Wrap. Lima Sky has previously objected to other applications that include this imagery and terminology , and believes that such features infringe on their rights.

   After this, carefully remove all the copyright stuff and resubmit you app. This will get you to priority queue for review (usually in review within a day).

   But if you reject you binary... you go back to normal queue and will have to wait for ~8 days for get your binary reviewed. This second review will take a little longer too.

   For my app, Apple is doing the second review and it's stuck in-review for over three days without e-mail.

   In general, anything over 24HR "in-review" is a bad sign.

    I received this today:( I believe it's because of the words "Bubble-Wrap" I used but I'm not 100% sure. The email doesn't tell you specifically which part of my game doesn't comply with the appstore guidelines.

    Thank you for submitting Bubble-Wrap Games to the App Store.

    We've completed the review of your app, but cannot post this version to the App Store because it did not comply with the App Store Review Guidelines, as detailed below:

    8.5: Use of protected 3rd party material (trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, otherwise proprietary content) requires a documented rights check which must be provided upon request
