Hi!
For the first time I want to publish my new game on a particular date. How to set this up? I reserved the name few months ago, and I didn't know when the game will be finished, to I didn't choose any date.

    You did choose a date when you created it in iTunes Connect. You can change it -- it's in the same place as the Pricing Tiers.

    Do a lot of marketing for your game because you have 99,99% of probability to be way down on the New Releases list (probably with the date the game was approved) :(

    Wow, didn't know that! I think I just release it as soon as it's approved.

    Yes, as it is now it's really risky. 99,99% of the time the game will be released on the date you set but it will be then listed on the date it was approved losing almost all release day sales.

    You can do that only if you precede the release with a strong marketing and if then the game is piked up in New Release articles of popular sites like Touch Arcade. Otherwise your busted.

    I'm not the type of gambler :) Thank you for this info!
