Possibly since Chillingo is backing it but the devs are the ones that hit the switch within their dev account. From everything that I've read from Chillingo email responses, they want it out when approved too.
Menu Interface bug. "Applications must adhere to the iPhone Human Interface Guidelines as outlined in the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement section 3.3.5."
http://gizmodo.com/5325539/apples-chickenshit-approval-process-has-gone-too-far Doesn't really have to do why Minigore is taking so long to be approved, but I find it interesting how Apple rejects so many good apps. Plus, read this account of a conversation VoiceCentral's dev had with Apple: http://www.riverturn.com/blog/?p=455 Apple's approval system has GOT to change.
That person just had a question about why it was rejected. Yes it was resubmitted on the 27th and not rejected a second time, to my knowledge. So if all goes well it should be out in two to three weeks.
Oh god. It's just unstandable. How in the world can the approval process of such a small app as Minigore take so long? It's 1 level after all. First NFS Undercover which took 1 month, then this! OH MY GOD! seriously Apple should respect their customers a little. This is $*it P.S. I can't imagine how long will Hardgore take to approve if Minigore takes at least 3 weeks...
guys i emailed chris from chillingo today to ask him some questions. well he just replyed and said they have no intention to hold the game back. he also said hes waiting just like all of us
Okay 1) The App store has been hugely effing up lately and it's probably a better idea that they make sure it's fixed. and 2) how are you guys saying that? Appshopper was paused you know.. How are you getting the info?
I know Yuny ! *We're still waiting and pushing Apple for this -- trust me, it was uploaded eons ago and should have been available by now. Note -- there is no holding this back - we did not postpone it by changing any launch date . No problem to bother me - I enjoy feedback from passionate players of our games! Chris Byatte Director Chillingo Ltd thats what he wrote to me
This should keep some people interested, atleast for a while. Never thought the iphone would have problems like this. Here's to hoping that those itune store issues are resolved, and that Minigore is released tonight (I'll give it until midnight GMT).
Sounds good. I just hope Apple kicks into gear soon. They are going to lose a lot of people's love. The App Store is without a doubt one of the biggest things that makes the iPhone so popular and with that being effd up and all the good apps either being removed, rejected, or taking forever to even get through, Apple is gonna get a lot of new haters.
Times like these make me glad I only have an iPod Touch. lol. In all seriousness, I hope Apple patches that up fast. I would probably just keep my phone off all day. :/
watch out for double posting. As for the bug , ehh for all we know apple could be working on it right Now
OFF TOPIC For those waiting here and have a MobileMe account, Apple just a little while ago released the native iDisk app. I've played with it a little and it works well in portrait or landscape mode. http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=20387 EDIT: Not a lot of features, it is mostly a viewer and you can delete folders but you can't rename files/folders. Way to go Apple, leaving that out.
