Waiting For Review

So, I submitted PhotoTrader v2.0 to Apple today.

PhotoTrader v2.0 Icon

Yes, that’s the new icon.

This is a time that we iOS developers know as the “Waiting For Review” period. It’s a time of elation and anxiety both.

Elation is simple. PhotoTrader v2.0 has been a long project, and it is always nice to see one’s work head out the door (figuratively speaking).

The anxiety, though, can be nerve-wracking. This is a fairly substantial update – not just in the features added to the app, but also in some fairly significant structural changes made under-the-hood. It has been pretty solid in my own testing, but odds are good that at least one or two annoying bugs will surface that weren’t there before. What looks like the end of development will surely turn into a v2.0.1 update – no matter how much one tests one’s code.

For now, though, I’m taking a (short) break while I wait for Apple to do their thing. I’m very happy with the way PhotoTrader 2 has turned out. I hope you will be, too.

    Why is the photo trader app gone from the app store? I paid $4.99 for it, had to delete it for a bit then when I went to install it again, it is gone. WTF

    Recently my phone crashed and I lost all my apps. I went to go reinstall pt on my phone and I can no longer find it in the app store. What gives?

    I am not sure why, but this app is not showing up in the app store. I even tried your link on the main page.

    Some bugs crept into PT v2.0 that were annoying enough to pull the app down for.

    I’ve since fixed these and v2.0.1 is now available on the App Store. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    like the new version except for the ability to block people. once you block someone all the old responses from that person are still in your exchange list. i liked it the old way. also, i am unable to report a person. so i’m not even sure the app is working correctly.
