How long does apple take to review an update of a game?

liamnelson

Hey

I was just wondering if apple takes the same time as approving a new app (7-10 days) to review the update of the game or when its an update it takes less time..

thanks

There's a page that shows the status in the iPhone Developer Center.

thx for your reply.. but I know you can check the status in the manage your apps section of itunes connect.. and its in wating for review.. my question is does it takes 7 days like a new app to get reviewed or does it takes less time

I simply changed the price of one of my apps and it took 36 hrs before i saw it back up in the store

my update took a week to go into review then a week to be approved and it was a minor bug fix. So in my experience it was the same as submitting a new app.

You must have changed an available date or something cause price changes happen almost instantly.

As far as updates they seem to be different than new submissions I normally go into review after a couple days but then am in review much longer than the original.

Approval times for updates are on average faster than app approval. Usually the "Waiting for Review" time is about the same, but the "In Review" can take up to a few minutes if it's not a major update.

Hi,

I have several games, English and dutch, but every game i published has a total of 7 or 8 days, from upload binairy to ready for sale in the app store.

And from "in review to ready for sale" is different.
Sometimes it takes 6 days, other times it takes 20 minutes to 2,5 hours before the approval to itunes.
