Exciting new features have been added to iTunes Connect to help you track your app during the approval process.

“Waiting for Review” status added

A new status called Waiting for Review has been added and will appear after your binary has been uploaded. This status means that your app has been added to the app review queue but has not yet begun the review process.

Receive notifications automatically

You can now opt-in to receive email notifications alerting you each time the status of your app changes. Visit the App Store Resource Center to learn how you can choose to receive these notifications.

View a complete history

As of November 9, 2009 all status changes will be logged in “Status History” which will appear with your app details in the Manage Your Applications section. This new feature allows you to see a complete history of the changes in status made to your app.

If your application requires specific settings, user registrations or account information prior to submission to the App Store, be sure to include that info in the field "Demo Account - Full Access" on iTunes Connect. This is a text field visible only to the App Review team, so the information entered in that field will not be viewable on iTunes to the general public. You can also include general instructions or other relevant information about your application which you think would be useful for the review process.

As a member of the iPhone Developer Program you are assigned 100 device "slots," allowing you to add up to 100 devices in the iPhone Program Portal in a membership year. Adding a device registers it to be used for developing and testing apps, or for sharing your app with other users via Ad Hoc Distribution. If you reach the 100-device limit and wish to add more, you can remove devices you are no longer using when your new membership year begins. At that time, you can remove as many devices as you like and then recycle those slots for new devices.

The ability to recycle slots is only available from the start of a membership year until the time you add your first new device, so be certain to remove all of the devices you no longer require before adding any new ones. Once you've added a new device, you will be unable to recycle additional device slots until your next membership year begins. If you renew your program before your expiration date, the recycling period does not start until your membership anniversary date. If you renew your program after expiration, the recycling period starts immediately.
