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.

    Also over 5 weeks for me so this gives met hope.... and also not... 😅

    OK got my feedback too!

    Just one issue... VRC.Quest.Functional.2 (Single player apps must pause when the user removes the HMD or opens the Oculus Dash.)

     

    Have a question about that... In some posts I read (apart from disabling input and stuff) you should also disable the camera, but then the background in the Dash looks horrible... 

    Anyone know the correct answer?

    Normally just displaying some paused UI (as well as actually pausing the game) is enough. You could fade the camera to black but it's probably a bit of overkill.

    Anyone know if re-submission takes as long as initial submission? 😏

    March 18, 2021

    Re-submission approved yesterday - 3 days review time so a lot shorter than the first review.

    😀 That's great news! Thanks for the heads-up!

    Good news!!

     

    We removed all 32bit libraries switching to 64bit where possible. Uploaded new build this morning and the app was approved just now.

    I guess this might have caused some crash during previous testing.

     

    Hope your apps can also get through the review soon.

    Ok, keeping my fingers crossed, back in "Your app has been submitted for review." state since re-submission 2 days...

    March 19, 2021

    Approved! 😁 Thanks for all the info and support here guys/girls. This page kept me sane the last few weeks/months.

    Now it seems another review round on media assets and stuff... 

    Any timing on that? 😅

    Just had an email from Oculus informing me we've been approved for App Lab!
    Our media asset review happened within a few hours of the content review.
