First Radio Station iPhone App Approved

Thanks to everyone who has helped me on this. It was daunting when my boss came to me and said, "You're a computer guy, go ahead and make us an iPhone app." Also that I had to borrow a friend's mac to do work in xcode. But, Apple approved it yesterday and my boss came by my desk this morning to tell me good job and how soon could the android app be ready. Here is the iTunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cat-country-98.7/id529563952?ls=1&mt=8 But please remember that Sound Exchange charges the station a lot in royalties, which are directly tied to listeners. Thanks again buzztouch community, you guys are awesome.

Hey, congratulations. I know what you're feeling. My boss basically did the same thing to me. Luckily, the company supplied me with a brand new Mac to mess around on and gave me a deadline of 'whenever it gets done'.

Wow, that's quite an accomplishment. What was your experience level prior to joining BT?

Well done! Couple of questions if I may.. - Did you make use of the inbuilt Quick Time player of the device? - Did you implement the ways in which to keep it playing in the background, prevent the screen from locking or neither? I have submitted 2 updates that incorporate radio, be interested to see what happens. Regards Alex

Thanks you guys. Ag-Chieve, I am glad I am not the only one. RenLee, thanks. I have no developer experience prior to using BT. I took a C++ course in college, but have forgotten most of it. Sandeep, thanks. The android will be ready soon (as I am an android fan too,) though instead of using BTv1.4 I am going to try my hand at v2.0. Alex@TM, thanks. I decided to go with the inbuilt quicktime player as I am not that knowledgeable and it plays my stream without issue. I didn't know that there are ways with BT to keep the screen from locking or playing in the background. Please share the details of that. I would also be interested in your apps. How do they incorporate radio?

I would be interested in how all of you guys are able to incorporate an audio stream into your apps.

Hi, I downloaded it to answer my own questions! Looks great, nice one. I haven't had mine approved yet, when/if I do I'll put the link up with some codes. Here is how we worked out how to get the audio playing with lock screen, etc - hope it helps http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=45BD3516324FF8E368C4CA7&fid=1A0BC2DCA1F04DB67238B9A&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1

Could I ask how long does it take to approve it? In addition, I am wondering if it is possible to have hyperlink to the those in this thread? (I am using new iPad). Thanks,

It took 9 days from "binary upload" to "for sale" in the iTunes store.
