iPhone AppStore Accepted Ockham StockRazor
I’ve certainly done my share of complaining while I developed an application for the iPhone. I can honestly say that I’ve come from completely lost to comfortable on the platform and gained valuable skills and insight during the process. It was not easy. I am fortunate that my company is founded on the ideal of bringing technology into finance to produce valuable tools and the iPhone is an obvious vehicle for that.
Apple Support was Awesome
Credit where credit is due, right? While resources were difficult to find and the NDA made things very complicated, when I contact Apple with questions or issues, they always responded and helped me get through my roadblocks. I had a few problems with the App Signing process and exchanged several emails with Apple support. The responses were thorough and thoughtful. In the end, these very complicated requirements were overcome and I was able to focus on development.
The Submission Process was a Breeze
Relatively speaking, submitting the completed release was pretty straight forward. Of course, I’d learned the Apple way by then and knew where to look for the guidance I needed. The only thing that was confusing was the SWIFT code for our bank. This is simply an international standard for identifying a financial institution and you can usually find it by checking out your banks website. We also called our bank and they were able to confirm the code.
Review was FAST
I don’t want to set any unrealistic expectations for anyone but let me just say that review and approval of my app could not have been faster. I’m sure it helped that our app was well tested and had a clear purpose. We also followed Apples UI guidelines carefully and tried to make it as natural to the iPhone as possible. Needless to say, you can now purchase "StockRazor by Ockham Research"
