Game Licenses in China

What are hobbyist developers doing about the new regulation that requires an approval code to submit an app to the China app store?

Obviously it's worthwhile for the big developers, but is everyone else just deselecting China from the availability menu? 😁

anyone figured this out yet?

Read my post here. In short, forget about China.

Good info, thanks.

Does Apple check for the approval number? Has anyone had an app rejected for this? It sounds like the process of acquiring a number is so onerous (with an added challenge for non-Chinese speakers) that China should be un-checked by default in the territories list. But if it's something even Chinese developers don't take seriously, I don't want to cut out a huge market unnecessarily. ??? 😕

I don't think Apple rejects apps for not having an approval number, i've read of some peoples games still going live in china, guess will have to find out and see when I release my game, @eric_v have you submitted anything lately ?
