    onces everything is ready,,from publishing to uploading the file to itunes no more than 30 minutes, but it can take a little longer if your game file is big.but if its your first time maybe it can take longer like 2 hours if you dont know the steps right, that happened to me the first times :)

    My first app, being around 20 or so megabytes, took about 45 minutes to upload. Beyond that there was the miserable week and a half of waiting for it to get approved. (Silly me submitting it over a holiday weekend...)

    @cousinjoshy - I think you mean to include setting up provisioning, downloading all the necessary files, etc.
    For me, it takes about 10 minutes to get everything set, and then I upload. But I've done it quite a few times. The first time it took me an hour or two to figure out. Expect to run in to some bugs or provisioning/signing problems.

    Good luck,

    P.S. And as for just uploading, mine was 20mb and only took about 10-15 minutes. Not quite sure why it took @JarrenH 45 minutes, unless he's including setting everything up.

    - Setting up GameSalads Needed Info: 20 minutes. Add 20 more if you need to make the header, icons, etc.
    - Submitting to Apple: Give yourself an hour if it's your first time, it's confusing!
    - Waiting for Apple to Approve/Deny: 1-2 Weeks estimate. Last time I submitted they gave an estimated time based on the queue. This may have changed since.

    @AwesomeProductionsInc, you may want to make your own topic instead of hijacking someone else's... a) It's not rude b) It'll get you more views and help when people see the topic title instead of this guys question that's been answered.

    @AwesomeProductionsInc Calm down dude! Check other threads for your problem. It has been covered many times before.

    @DepressedPanda
    Now my most recent game got approved in 4 days!! And it seems to be the same case for others as well.

    Yeah, I totally believe you. The App Store approval process can vary like crazy. I've heard of people getting approved in 4 days (like you) and some taking up to 30 days. I guess there's a ton of variables.

    I was previously a magazine owner and our first magazine submission to Apple Newstand took 43 days.... Ironically since we published every 30 days.... so our 2nd issue was the latest when it finally went live. :)
