Submitting Your App

After you complete your app, you have the option to Submit or Save For Later. Once you submit, you will be unable to edit your app (except for adding/editing issues) so please do not submit until you are 100% sure that you are ready.

You can choose Save For Later and go back to edit your app before submitting, but dont forget to go back and submit eventually! Do do so, you will be asked to go back through the steps and verify that everything is correct, and then will reach the Submit or Save For Later screen again. After you submit your app, MagAppZine will process your app and submit to Apple. It typically takes from 3-5 weeks from the time you submit your app to the time that Apple approves it to be Live on the App Store. This duration time can vary greatly and MagAppZine has no control over how long it takes Apple to approve apps. You will be notied by email as soon as the app is Live on the App Store. Note: You should continue to add new issues to your app via MagControl during this period so that as soon as the app is approved by Apple, it will be up-to-date with the latest content.
