Apple Accepting iPhone Apps Into App Store

Great news. Bring it on!

They have also posted itunes 7.7 pre release version to allow us to install iphone OS beta 8. I am assuming that this is very close to the final version of the OS and SDK.

And some of us are still not accepted into the program :(

I'm really excited, I just hope I don't get screwed out of things by skipping this generation like I did when I bought the iPod Touch.

Show me the apps!

And some of us are still not accepted into the program :(

Thats what I said last thread!

If Apple has to approve every app going into the store, I wont get my app in until Christmas! Why even bother writing it...

Cool, not too far away now :)

And some of us are still not accepted into the program :(

And unfortunately, I've got a feeling that nobody else will be until it's out of beta. Steve gave pretty straight numbers at the keynote stating they accepted 4,000 dev's for the early program. :o

Well, this is good news, just another step closer to the 2.0 release. Is anybody else a little bit surprised that they didn't do this earlier? I would have expected them to be accepting apps at least a month in advance just to make sure that they will have enough time to view each application.

Remember those ignorant rumors that iPhone OS 2.0 final was going to be released at WWDC? lol.

It does seem a bit close to deadline, but... this is some serious work Apple is doing here and beta is beta. :) Working with beta development means the developer's aren't final either. Plus, it just hasn't been that long since this started! It takes time to develop apps!

My big question is how long Apple will take to approve apps. We aren't quite ready to submit yet and, of course, want to ride the wave of the launch. It's gonna be close, but maybe a week or two late won't be so bad, either.

And some of us are still not accepted into the program :(

Not accepted in the program and didn't even get this email... tho I guess only those lucky 4k got that email.... :(

Disappointed.. I'd be happy if they just let us install our apps on our own local devices so we can do some 'real' testing... I'm sure the aspen simulator is good and all but nothing beats being able to bang on my iPod Touch to torture test my app.
