iTunes Link

I need to know my apps iTunes Link before I submit it to the appstore. I need it to integrate Facebook posting, And I want on the Facebook post to be a link to download the app. [import]uid: 130035 topic_id: 22521 reply_id: 322521[/import]

From what I know you can’t get a link for an app that hasn’t been submitted/approved. If you’re updating that’s another story.

You can still however promote your app on Facebook, I suggest either building a simple website/page with the screenshots from your game… or simply upload pictures to your Facebook wall advising others that once the game is released you’ll provide a link.

I’m pretty sure you can… Go to iTunes Connect, go to manage, select your app, and the link to c/p should be right at the top under Links: “View in iTunes”. [import]uid: 87138 topic_id: 22521 reply_id: 89794[/import]

Hey guys,

You CAN get a link for an app provided you have made a page for it in iTunes Connect - the link just wont go to a working page until approval.

If you have the app in iTC then when you click on it there you can see the link :slight_smile: (It’s in the upper screen, middle of the page, if I recall correctly.)

Hah, yes you can I stand corrected… but the link is dead, so what’s the use for it other than having it for once the app is released.

IMO … If you start advertising your game using a dead link it might confuse people and you might get a whole bunch of “link doesn’t work” msgs. [import]uid: 10379 topic_id: 22521 reply_id: 89798[/import]

@Peach - stop multitasking woman! … meh, you won’t, you can’t… multitasking is in your nature :stuck_out_tongue: [import]uid: 10379 topic_id: 22521 reply_id: 89803[/import]

Thanks guys! that helped a lot! I haven’t uploaded any apps to iTC so idk how it works.

So heres what I understood so far:
So first I need to “register” the app in iTC.
Then I can get all the numbers need to finish my app (app Id, iTunes link etc.)
Then after My app is completely done I could Build it via Distribution Prov. Profile and upload it to iTC.
Then in like two ekes apple is going to approve it, and I will be able to make it live in the app store.

Is that correct?

Oh, and when registering an app it asks for the “app release date”. What do I put into that field? I mean I don’t know how fast apple is going to approve it, so I don’t know the specific release date.

Thanks! [import]uid: 130035 topic_id: 22521 reply_id: 89812[/import]

Check out this link by Peach… even though it may seem long at first it is actually quite simple… kind of like riding a bike :stuck_out_tongue:

As far as App/Game name… try to do some research to see if your name is taken if it isn’t… Add the game/name to the iTC to somewhat reserve it. Date for me didn’t really make a difference, I don’t have a lot of projects floating around so I usually research and take the name (add/reg the app) and then do the artwork.

I know of few people who developed a game without researching, and found themselves redoing whole bunch of artwork because of an unavailable name. [import]uid: 10379 topic_id: 22521 reply_id: 89817[/import]

For release date you can leave it as it’s set originally, if it’s before the date it is submitted and approved it will automatically be released immediately.

@nemensiris - don’t you tell me what to do, you aren’t my boss! :wink: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22521 reply_id: 89837[/import]
