Hi Guys Is anyone there out facing the issue of delay on app review process? Couple of games have been in review for more than 10-15 days still not reviewed. Is there anyone with same issue?. Also have heard apple removing reskined games or some sort of similar stuff this days. How far this fact is true?
Hello! We faced the same issue the last month, but seems now the process became faster. Hope it will be fast on a regular basis. Didn't hear about reskins removal. But I'm aware that they don't accept direct clones like color switch when devs do similar colors and titiles. What cases have you heard?
One of my friend's all apps have been removed from the store, and still another guy told me his app has been in review since many days, more than 10, still in review
Perhaps all these apps were very similar to existing top apps on App Store, like a direct clone of Color Switch, for instance. If you make your game and reskin it, I think it's OK for Apple Review Team.
When I've submitted games in the past, I've always found these guys to be fairly accurate, but it seems to be way off from what you're saying. Currently showing the average review time to be approx 3 days, which is faster than the usual 4-5 days. http://appreviewtimes.com/
Apple has much tougher conditions than Google, and that makes the process slower. While everything posted on Apple will always work better than on Google, you'll always get more sales and downloads.
I have submitted games and updates in the last 2 weeks and have had them approved as fast as in 1-3 days. After rejections (for whatever reason) even faster.
Then it means probably they are keeping an eye on the accounts that have multiple and only reskinned or cloned games, rest all safe
I only can underline what others said here already: These days app review time seems to be 1-3 days. in one case it was even less than a day...
I'm quite amazed. Just submitted my game for approval, walked to the shop, got back 30 mins later and it was ready for sale.
I'm with Phill. I always watch that site and my review times follow suit, pretty accurately. Rarely will an Application be waiting to go into review for more than 3 days. Then it's usually accepted within hours. On the odd occasion I've had an app that had clocked a week in review, to which I cancelled, uploaded a new binary and resubmitted and it went through in 2 Days... Very strange. Sometimes I wonder if an App is assigned to an individual, and if that reviewer clocks off for the weekend, or goes on vacation, your App remains in review until they get back. Or something along those lines. I would of most certainly resubmitted by now though... especially at 10-15 days. That seems a tad long. Unless of course you've submitted a huge App with high functionality and user base etc, like Amazon or Instagram. I imagine those guys take forever to be accepted.
as per your comments, guys it seems it's not an issue with all of the developers, probably very few or maybe apple doing certain changes
