App labs review time

Hi,

 

Do you have experience how long does it take to go through review step?

 

My app status shows "Your app is being evaluated by our review team." No updates, no emails from oculus. I have a feeling that it was forgotten.

    That's some progress at least. Can I ask - how long did it take for you to go from 'Submitted' to 'being evaluated?  For my Go game last summer, the whole thing took 6 weeks! A lot longer than I expected.

      That was nearly instant, maybe few hours, But now it is about 3 weeks in evaluation.

    I understand that they're probably swimming in developer submissions right now but even a blog post updating us or saying where we are in the queue would be nice.

     

    If submissions come back negative do we have to wait this amount of time again before our next submission is reviewed?

    exactly, there is no way to know how long it will take or to contact anyone there...

     

    I don't even want to think about negative review

    We are waiting from 19 January for Rift review. Its took more than 6 weeks so we contacted Oculus but they answer us " We have some problems and please be patient , if your review take more than 6 weeks please contact with us" - But we already writed to them its took more , they didn't even read our message. This is absurd and nightmare in one...

    Also waiting for Rift (and app lab) review for quite some time now... almost scared to post here with the thought it might have a negative impact somehow... ğŸ™„

    Well i did get my review results today!!! took 5 weeks.

     

    The app passed all 22 tests and failed 1.

     

    The failed test result looks like that:

    VRC.Quest.Functional.1
    App must install and run without crashes, freezes, or extended unresponsive states.

    TEST BLOCKER - The app does not successfully launch

     

    Just wow, no more info. The funny thing is that this exact build is used by hundreds of users that used sideloading for it and nobody had issues.

     

    No idea how to proceed from here...

      Sorry to hear that. I suppose that's something we all dread. My only guess (and I'm not an expert) is maybe something to do with entitlement checks on start up.  Maybe not an issue when sideloading. Did you pass the optional VRC.Quest.Security.1 ? 

      My Go game failed for that last year.  However when I resubmitted, it was re-reviewed much quicker, so I don't think you go back to the start of the queue. Good luck.

        Security1 is not on the list even.

         

        It passed Security 2 though:

         

        VRC.Quest.Security.2
        The app must request the minimum number of permissions required to function.
        You passed this requirement.

    Got my review back - 5 weeks here too.

     

    Failed on VRC.Quest.Security.2 - "Please remove all unnecessary permissions. If your app requires any of the following permissions, please explain in detail why your app requires them in order to function: ["android.permission.CAMERA"]"

     

    My own fault for forgetting to strip this as sharing some of the code base with Android native. Will submit a new update today and get back on how long such a follow up review takes. Hopefully not 5 more weeks.
