  • Developer Program Extensions to July 11

    Posted on March 13th, 2009 steve Comments

    Regarding my earlier post about problems with expiring developer program memberships, today I received an email from Apple:

    In appreciation of your participation in the program during the beta period, the length of your original program term and your iTunes Connect contract(s) will be extended to July 11, 2009—one year from the opening of the App Store. We will contact you soon with more details and instructions about this extension.

    Beginning in May, a full 60 days prior to your new Program expiration date, you will be able to renew your iPhone Developer Program which also automatically renews your existing iTunes contracts.

    It’s nice to see Apple make this gesture, though it makes it seem more likely to me that the one-year anniversary of the original program members caught them somewhat by surprise. I guess 20,000+ approved apps in less than a year can do that.

      I'm curious as to what the current wait time is for new app store applications.
