check out these last two submissions of mine

i wonder if their backlog is low because everyone tried to make the xmas rush. i was pleasantly surprised to see less than 2 day turn around time on the lite version of my game and under 6 days for the full version.

keep it up apple!

relix lite version

01/03/10 - submitted very late 10pm
01/04/10 - in review by afternoon
01/05/10 - late afternoon available in app store

relix full version

12/29/09 - submitted very late eve
12/30/09 - in review by afternoon
01/04/09 - early afternoon available in app store

Yup, we've just had an app approved in 5 days including a rejection and re-submission! Very impressed. But it caught us off guard, as we haven't got all the marketing material ready, so frantically trying to get it done now :)

Fast time here too. The game images, web site, description were done December 12, but submitted only on 12/31. Review started Jan 2, approved Jan 4th. Wow!

I'm working on an update to be completed in the usual waiting period and Apple was completely stunning in its speed - now I'm playing catch-up ;)

Yes there is a huge improvement on aprpoval time, and it started after Apple stopped to feature the app updates in the new release list. I guess they have a lot less submissions now, so that was a good move.

I think for us too because waiting 20 days for an update approval was painful.

Our first free game went through in a couple days. Our first paid game looks like it will be quick too but we don't have our banking information set up yet so that will probably delay it.

Hey anyone got a rejection for submitting a cocos2d game? Kinda about using private frameworks at touchBegan:withEvent:
touchEnded:withEvent:
touchMoved:withEvent:

Thanks.

I'm sure plenty of people have gotten rejections for games built on cocos2d, but it was for other reasons, NOT because its powered by cocos2d.

The implicit use of cocos2d doesn't break any of Apple's submission rules. There are many cocos2d games on the app store right now.

I think you may be thinking of having your application linked to private frameworks (e.g. MoviePlayer.framework) or using private APIs. There have been some high profile games that had trouble for using private APIs.

Also, you should not use an application framework if it executes interpreted script/code at runtime (cocos doesn't). I believe some games built on the Unity engine had this problem at some point but I believe they were ultimately resolved.

Just an update to an old game.

I'm going through all the crash reports and trying to fix up as much as I can as well as add pinch media for analytics.

Same here. Got a game approved in a matter of 5 days! My previous submissions took 12-14 days. I hope Apple keeps it up and their speedy process isn't just because of the Holiday Season.
