Wow this was fast, I thought it will take a week or so!! After posting the message in https://www.buildbox.com/forum/inde...cument-what-can-done-with-it.2669/#post-46293 I opened my email inbox and found the approval letter from iTunes connect Is this normal? What to do next? this is my first game and I want a publisher to publish it as paid game
well done.... I guess if you want a publisher then you need to contact a publisher. Theres a some good posts on the forum about how to contact publisher, and @Gregory Storm wrote a good post on how to do it.
Yeah man, Apple is very fast these days. I like it! Congrats btw for your game! So yeah just keep it in TestFlight, and if publisher wants to install it add them as TestFlight external tester. If you make a deal with them they might ask you to transfer the game to them via iTunes Connect.
Yes. Appstore approval as well as external testflight needs to go through the review process. The message you got from Apple is only the confirmation that the upload is finished and that your build is now available on iTunesConnect. This is normally almost immediately or at least pretty fast. It is an automated process if I'm not mistaken. The review on the other hand is done by people so it takes between 1-2 business days. You can't transfer any app to another account until it is published in the appstore. If a publisher is going to release your game and it is not on the appstore you will have to upload a new build to their account. No way around that.
Just remember - there have been days where you can wait for hours and I mean HOURS for that process to work. 80% of the time its pretty swift.
