Issues
From the very first problem we faced before the completion of the registration process in «iOS Developers Program». When you are registered as a legal entity, it is necessary to specify the DUNS number, which is assigned to the organization in the database «Dun & Bradstreet» (D & B), which, in turn, Apple takes the information about the company as directed by the DUNS. Unfortunately, in this database we were recorded as «OOO», and this is an incorrect name and looks ugly.
After talking with Apple tech support, it became clear that to continue the registration process must be some way to change the company's name in the database D & B, then another procedure changes can be very painful. About 2-3 weeks we wrote / called in different representation of D & B for making changes to the company name. Once made changes to D & B, we had to wait about two weeks until Apple will make these changes in your base. As a result, only one registration took us 4-5 weeks (this is not including waiting for confirmation of payment after sending a fax at Apple). Waiting activate your account after payment has taken another 5 days.
Attempt # 1
After we tested the application in the emulator, on several different versions of the phone, as well as under various versions of iOS, it's time to download the application for review in the AppStore. The first attempt to download the application, we are faced with the problem of signing the certificate, I had to reset all the certificates and sign it all over again. After downloading the app in AppStore, immediately turned down as a 3.5 "screen shots were not optional, but mandatory. Added screenshots, took to the application. After 4 days, were refused because login present at the screenshot link to an external registration page.
Attempts to # 2 and # 3
On the same day, we removed the link to the registration page and was sent back to the application, but as was a new binary, then we hit the end of the queue. After 6 days, the application went to the. The day was rejected «Metadata Rejected». Due to the lack of experience with the AppStore, we began to review all sources of external links on the topic, which was written in failure, but did not find a single reference and did not understand the reasons for the refusal. In the end, it turned out that the refusal was due to the fact that the application was to describe again the link to our website.
Remove the link from the description and press «Submit New Metadata» application was «Waiting For Review», after half an hour was «In Review», after 4 hours «Processing for App Store» and another 10 minutes «Ready for Sale». Thus, it appears that the error in the Metadata binary does not go through the whole place, and forwarded immediately to the "doosmotr."
