Just an FYI, I'm pretty sure Apple is back to their old ways when it comes to app approvals. My simple cocos2d game is now on day 5 and I'm still "waiting for review". Yes, I know it's still far from the 14-16 days for approval pre-xmas, but I have a feeling we're definitely back to at least a 1 week waiting period based on the "app store approval" thread over at iphonedevsdk.

Just throwin' it out there! Don't plan on a 24-48 hour approval if you're about to submit... looks like I'll be doing marketing next week instead of now. hmmmm

My latest one, Crazy Cupid, had a 3 day turn around and was submitted in the 3rd week of Jan. So there's definitely some inconsistency, but much better than a year ago that for sure would take 2 weeks.

EDIT: just went into review... ha, guess I just needed to voice a little frustration to get the ball rolling ;)

Have you enabled email notification capability within itunesconnect? It'll send an email to let you know when your app has changed status (e.g. in review, ready for sale, etc).

Going into review doesn't necessarily mean very much. Three weeks go we submitted our app Bad Apples and it went into review within hours. However, it sat "In review" for 5-6 days before it was finally approved, even though we were never contacted about any issues.

We submitted some updates two weeks ago, both of which sat waiting for review for a week, then went into review and were approved in one day.

@tim, actually no I haven't, thanks for the tip. I will turn on email notifications now.

I'll update this thread when I finally hear about approval so we can have a sense of the "In Review" time though I realize every app will probably be different.
