app approval delays ?

Are app approvals being delayed ? I submitted mine at the weekend there. It's now into the 5th working day, and it's still sitting in waiting to be approved state - and I've had no comms whatsoever from anyone?

a beta version will never be approved since it is a beta version,

beta means only available for you, not on the IQ store.

you will have to delete it an publish it without checking beta version.

If you mark an app as beta, it never gets approved. Only you can download it.

If you want to make it available, you need to change the ID in the manifest.xml, and resubmit it, without checking the beta…

Apologies about the delay--we usually do app approvals at least every other day. I've approved your app. Thanks!

I’m facing significant delays in approvals for my data field submission. It’s now been nearly 2 weeks. Initially I thought perhaps got overlooked, so I deleted the app and resubmitted after 1 week. Now it’s been nearly another 5 working days.

If you are doing your own ANT it can take longer.

I see. however, the other day I submitted a data field which talks to a PM for older watches (like the VA) and that took 1 day.

My app has been "pending" approval since 1st March, so two weeks; when expectation level is set to 3 days?
When will it be approved?
Will it be approved?

How do we get a status update on things like this; only via forum?

Hi, did you turn on '' beta'' option ?

Did you use ANT tech ?

did you read that:

forums.garmin.com/.../app-approval-exceptions

or that

yes it has beta option on.

And I had read those pages. I see no reason why it should be delayed; other than they would be unable to test it without use of one of our ble sensors to connect to.

It does not use ANT(+) or violate any of the rules.

So I have no idea why its not been progressed to approved.
