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

It can take even longer when Garmin are deciding whether to approve the app or otherwise and has to talk to their legal department.

Thanks for pointing out the error or my ways. I had really hoped that making it a beta would allow me to publish to "the select few"/beta testers. But his does not appear so.

I just wanted to use the whole app process experience with those testers; but without giving it out for general release.
