Journey to App - Part 10 - Destination App Store!

The journey is complete!  Go PDF App is live on the App Store (Go PDF).

So it took a few weeks for the app to pass the Apple Review process.  The normal length is about a week, but we had some items that we needed to change in order to pass review (so yes ... Apple really does look at everything).  So we had to tweak the icon, since it used a symbol typically associated with Adobe, and wouldn't you know ... we had to rate the app 17+ because it allows unrestricted access to the internet.

Well I made the changes and resubmitted the app ... another week, and the app was approved.

So with the app approved, I posted the press release on http://www.prmac.com.  It will take a few days for the press release to be released, I'll post a link when the release is published.

Well, it was enjoyable putting this blog series together on developing this app.  I hope that you enjoyed reading it, and that you found it informative about the app development process. 

As a thank you to all you readers, first 20 comments to THIS post will get free Promo Code for the App!!

Thanks to Appcelerator for putting out some great tools and supporting their developer community
