Hello! As we get closer to release, we are working on various time lines. I know it has varied greatly over the past year, so am curious what people's current experiences are in timelines for submittal to the app store? Many thanks.
Although not my own submissions, a friend of mine had 2 apps in the last month approved in 6 and 9 days.
We experienced an 8 day turn around time with our game as well. I have a feeling it'll get longer when the Mac App store goes live though.
I guess we are lucky then. Our last few games have taken <7 days from submission to being on the App Store
We just released last week and we got 8 days from submission to approval. And yes, that includes Saturday and Sunday. In fact, we got the approval on Sunday morning.
Expect 10 to be safe, then you can start your marketing efforts on a day you can expect to have the app ready to launch.
Not sure about the others, but our game doesn't use GC and we got 8 days. Seems to be the average these days too.
Don't forget to take into account that possibility that your app gets rejected. You can't be sure what your launch date will be until you have approval.
It's getting faster and faster for me, the last 2 updates were 6 hours --> (an update that was adding Retina Display) 2 days Extremely fast!
