On Monday I realised that when Apple, a few days before, had written that they looked forward to me re-submitting the app they mean they hadn't received the new version. Even though I had uploaded it to iTunes Connect.
I spent the morning carefully resubmitting it. This was quite an effort.
On Tuesday night, in bed, just before I switched my phone to "stop-pinging-me-everytime-I-get-an-email-or-other-notification" I received a ping. Apple had changed the status of the app from "In review" to "Ready for Sale".
But it is a free app.
I got up and checked the status on my iTunes portal and checked the online documentation which confirmed that "Ready for Sale" meant approved and released to the App Store.
But it could take 24 hours (and some forums had reported days) before it would be visible on the App Store.
Five hours later, in the morning, I woke up and checked the App Store. It was there!
Finally, after two months, the app is not only on the Google Play Store but also on the Apple App Store.
Yesterday evening I went to a Tech Founders pitch event. About 15 people in a line doing a one minute elevator pitch one after the other. A VC investment manager I hoped was there wasn't. Then there was food (of awesomeness) and beer. Then I left and met a friend nearby for cocktails.
This morning I used the opportunity of missing the investor to drop him a LinkedIn PM.
