Launch Day Disaster

Well iSick - Just Disgusting hit the App store today with a resounding thud, thanks largely due to Apple's horribly confusing release date system. The app was posted on the store today but the release date was set nearly 2 weeks ago, putting iSick around page 20 of the new release entertainment apps.

Utterly disappointed that all this work I have pured into iSick is all for nothing at the moment. Apple really like to make it hard for indie dev's.

  1. If it was approved today, set the release date to todays date. It will update it accordingly and you should appear in a more recent listing.
    Always do this when you receive confirmation from Apple that it is ready for sale - i.e. set it to the current date.

  3. Yeah thanks for the advice, its too late for me to change it for 1.0, but I submitted 1.1, a 'code optimisation' update and will relaunch it then.
