Life after uploading
Your application can have several states, which are as follows:
•
Waiting for upload
: This is the state after you have registered your
application in iTunes Connect but have not uploaded the binary yet.
•
Waiting for review
: This is the state in iTunes Connect after uploading
your application.
•
In review
: This is the state when your application is currently in review.
It takes any amount of time from minutes to days, depending on a few
factors such as the complexity of the application or the reviewers' workload,
but mostly they are random.
•
Ready for sale
: This means that if you have not changed the default date
of the availability of your application, it will be available for download
from the App Store on the day it gets approved.
Sales statistics and other useful data can be found in iTunes Connect. Please make
sure you check all the available tools that it offers such as sales and trends, iAd,
and catalog reports.
