Diagno Aspiring developer Posts: 5 Reg: Dec 29, 2012 Hobart 9,200	confirm \| cancel 02/18/13 03:20 PM (12 years ago) First app (and it's quick update) released! Gee what a roller coaster ride it is. My first app - Ancient Greek Paradigms - is in the iTunes App Store and selling like low single-digit hotcakes. I don't have a developer/IT background so the whole experience has been quite interesting with a number of learning curves. After an initial rejection due to a caching issue not showing the content I resubmitted but somehow left off the background images, giving all the pages a wonderful black backing. The app got approved, regardless of the inconsistency between screenshot background and actual background. I submitted another, more complete, binary immediately and immediately waited for a week to to get that approved. It's out there now (Version 1.1), though I do seem to have an outstanding issue with the iPad version not updating the background at all, despite everything seeming to be fine on my end and the simulator working fine. For that I need to do a little research and see what I can find out. Either way, first iOS app is done! Now on to the mysteries of Eclipse... edit: a link for you fine people: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/diagno-languages-ancient-greek/id597476513?ls=1&mt=8 Title Comments Gee what a roller coaster ride it is.
