Written by Jerome Granados on

Here are the different scenarios and see the impact of this announcement on your iOS submission.
1/ The submission process of your iOS app is managed by GoodBarber
Whether it’s the first submission of your app or the submission of a new version on the store:
- iOS apps submission requests sent to our team before Tuesday, December 22 will be taken care of normally
- iOS apps submission requests sent to our team after Tuesday, December 22 will be taken care of on December 28.
Note: Submissions will be taken care of in their order of arrival. Depending on the total number of requests, our responses back might be slightly longer than usual.
This applies to apps distributed to the general public on the App Store, and to Custom Apps distributed via Apple Business Manager.

- You can compile the new version of your app and download the .ipa file from your back office at any time.
However, you will only be able to submit it to Apple before December 23 and after December 27.
Note: Part of your back office will be locked until you finally publish your update on the store.

3/ Your iOS app is distributed internally outside of the App Store via an Enterprise account
Business as usual for you!
Whether you take care of the process yourself, or let GoodBarber do it for you, the App Store Connect announcement has no impact.
