   Hi guys,

   I submitted my first cocos2d & cocoslive application to the itunes connect on June/19 (Friday). On monday, three days after submission, somebody from US posted high score on the cocoslive server. Therefore I know that they had looked at it and that they went thru the whole game ( because high score is at the end of the game ). It's very simple pong variation. But even since monday, review status is still the same (in review). Nothing happens, no mails, no more score posts. What could be happening? How does the review process look like, if game is played to the end and four days later, there is still no decission? This waiting really makes me mad :)

   Thanks ;-)

   Sound pretty normal. Game tried very early in the process and (nowadays) a few weeks of waiting with nothing happening :-D

   Sorry, seems to be the way things are at the moment.

   Is this happening to you? I mean that you are waiting for approval few weeks after your game was tried?

   Things are definitely slowing down. It's running about 8-9 days for me on average now, which is pretty annoying. I'm convinced most of this is an artificial delay Apple is putting into the pipeline to both minimize update submissions and gaming of the new release list (which is, after all, the only way to influence sales if Touch Arcade or another big site doesn't fawn over your game).

   I just wish they'd fix the app store..

   If Apple wanted to cut this reviewing times, they could easily hire more people for doing it.

   So I must agreed with Slipster.

   I submitted mine on the 14th, but resubmitted it on the 19th after I found a problem with my binary. Haven't heard back yet :/ July is almost coming up and I hope it will be out by then...

   It took Apple 3 weeks to look at an update I sent for StickWars, which was around #6 on top paid apps in the US. So I can tell you that they don't give preferential treatment based on rank ;).

    3 weeks? That is very disheartening... :(

    Updates & new apps seem to take different times - perhaps they're different people. I'm hoping new apps don't take 3 weeks to approve...that'd ruin my July 4th launch! :)

    Has anyone who submitted their app in June have it released in the app store yet? Mine's been sitting "In Review" for quite a while...

    that it doesnt crash ;)
    that it does what you description says it does
    that it follows Apple UI guidelines
    that it doesnt use explicit language or images
    that your description doesnt mention price
    that it doesnt use too much bandwidth
    that it doesnt use a picture of an iphone as a logo or icon
    that it uses standard Apple icons correctly (like the "i" for info)

    what did I forget?

    Hi,

    just to keep everyone updated, my application mentioned at the first post is still in review. It's now 14 days from submission and 12 days after somebody from Apple posted a high score. I think that Apple is kidding me or what. The review process is now taking same time as the whole development process. Sounds like a bad joke to me.

    Application is not complex. It's very simple game:

    I submitted six apps last Friday and all of them went live today. So, it took exactly one week.
    Before that i submitted a more complex app and it took Apple exactly two weeks.

    BTW: Thanks for the framework and all the great feedback here in the forum.

    Are you serious Joe? What in the world?!?!?! My app was submitted two weeks ago and it's still not live!!! I really need it out by today, but I doubt Apple will get to it. What is going on???

    I submitted my game about a week and a half ago & still no word from Apple. They posted some high scores last Saturday.

    Hopefully this post will get them moving on it!

    Lol I don't think they see this. Anyhow, since a lot of apps has been submitted since 3.0 came out, the review time is taking about 2 weeks now. So wait maybe a few more days and it will come out!
