iOS 8 & iTunes Connect

Quick post:

Using Xcode v6.0.1 when you submit a second update you MUST update the build number otherwise you'll get an error about "Build xxx" already exists.

Honesty - generally the best policy!

I recently updated Qwik Text and thought I would try and add a user requested feature. Okay, I know this doesn't sound very impressive... except that the feature was a "quit" function and we know Apple generally doesn't like that.

Anyhow I updated Qwik Text, added the new quick launch option to quit app, tested it and then submitted it to the store. Well, 6 days later and it has been approved.

Here is the comment that I included with the update:

Hi - I am not trying to sneak anything past your guys (gals). Many users have emailed me asking for the "Quit App" function to be added as an option. I know that this is not what a "regular" app should do but I'm hoping that you'll see the added benefit to this app since it is a productivity app and this will save the user time. 

Please contact me if you have any questions. 
Thanks 
Greg

So... honesty does indeed pay... and I MUST give a shout-out to the App Review Team, THANKS!!!

iTunes Holiday Shutdown

Just noticed the part about any price changes... YIKES!

iTunes Connect will be temporarily shut down from Thursday, December 23 to Tuesday, December 28 for the winter holidays. Do not schedule any pricing changes to take effect during this time. Changes scheduled between these dates will make the app unavailable for purchase. Note that any app with an available date scheduled during the shutdown will not go live until iTunes Connect access resumes on December 29.
