Best practices for App review and release?

Hi


Been googling for some answers.... but recently encountered a delay whereby the app release is still pending review, thus afffecting my planned release time at 8am.


  1. Say if i have planned for a release on the last day of the month, after submission for review, how can i ensure that the app releases at the end of the month on a specific time, say 8am?
  2. And how long does it take for the new app version release gets propagated to all users?


Thank you.

1. You can't - there is no way to secure a pre-set release TOD, only that the app is auto-released to the store once approved (requires the dev to pre-set that configuration).


2. Depends on the depth of the queue and how long it takes to re-index on the backend, etc.. Matter of hours, usually.


In the future, best practice would be to get the app in the store first, temporarily taking it off sale in all countries as you move ahead with other plans.


Also, don't count on the app being approved at all, or that it will only require one review.
