App Store Submission Tip: Preparing In App
Purchase Items for App Review
All In App Purchase items are reviewed each time they are submitted. The following submission tips will help you better prepare your In App Purchase items for review:
- If you are using In App Purchase for the first time, be sure to submit both the In App Purchase items and the binary at the same time. Don't forget that every item you want to offer must first be created in iTunes Connect
- If you are submitting your In App Purchase items for a binary you plan to upload at a later time, choose the 'Submit with Binary' option in iTunes Connect. This will ensure that the application and the In App Purchase items go live at the same time
- If your In App Purchase items are delivered from your server, be sure that it is on and ready so that the App Review Team can access your In App Purchase items
- Provide clear and accurate screenshots and descriptions for your In App Purchase items
- Do not submit test versions of your In App Purchase items for review
You can find more details about submitting your In App Purchase items in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide.

Once you have submitted your app for review, there is certain metadata which cannot be edited, such as keywords and the name of your app. However, some metadata can be edited at any time, such as screen shots, your marketing description, and your support URL.
Review Appendix A and Appendix B of the iTunes Connect Developer Guide for complete details on when you can edit or update app metadata.

Bush bests Obama in the polls??
"Yeah, I didn't see that coming either."
George Bush hasn’t been the president for nearly two years now, but apparently some pollsters are still gauging his approval rating!
And, well, it’s a point higher than President Obama’s, according to polls summed up by Politico. (GWB had 47% while Obama put up a solid 46%.)
Click through for commentary, then leave your own.
What do you think is going on here? When Dubya left office, his approval was in the 25%-range. (Some people must really like his book.) Is Obama really doing that badly that his predecessor is starting to look better??? Or is it all skewed public perception??

Real People Profiles: Jonathan Law
I’m asking some of the people you might encounter on the UMBC campus, including students, faculty, staff and alumni, to answer a few questions about themselves and their experiences. These are their responses.
Hometown: I grew up in Silver Spring, now live in Boyds, and went to high school in Rockville, so I consider myself a Montgomery County resident at large.
Q: How long have you been at UMBC?
A: This is my fourth year!
Q: What is your current title (job or student organization position)?
A:I am the Representative Liaison for QUMBC, VP of Volunteers with Major Inspiration. I'm also in SGA's Health and Wellness and WILL (Women Involved with Leadership and Learning).
Q: In 12 words or less, what role(s) do you play on campus?
A: Collaborating to create social justice actions at UMBC. Oh, and take classes?
Q: What aspect of your UMBC role(s) do you enjoy most?
A: I love the idea of training little activists. At QUMBC, we have developed a horizontal structure that emphasizes members developing the skills to implement their own ideas to change the community. Basically, I want QUMBC to drive David Hoffman out of his job.
Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?
A: The strengths perspective in social work. It is taught in opposition to the problem-centered perspective, which emphasizes clients as problems that need to be solved by social workers. Instead, the strengths perspective wants social workers to acknowledge clients as the experts and masters of their own lives and that social workers are there to advocate for clients and empower them to change their own lives.
Q: Complete this sentence: "I am a big fan of __________"
A: Context. Reductionism is my archenemy; I just want to contextualize, historicize, and complicate everything. It makes it difficult to create solutions when your problems are big and ancient instead of mindless beasts to slay, but that's what you have to do if you really want to effect change. You can't just focus on saving the deer when preserving an ecosystem or just hand a patient a prescription when treating them for a chronic problem: you have to situate problems in the greater context and in the systems involved. (And that is when you smash the patriarchal capitalist state.)
Q: Do you have any UMBC stories, little-known facts about UMBC, favorite spots on campus, or anything else you’d like to share?
A: The professors and staff around you are not just teachers. They are (sometimes) amazing people with great stories and experience and knowledge and you need to tap that like they're maple trees and you have the driest pancakes ever. Talk to them, connect with them!
If nothing else, they may be more lenient with your final grade when you're BFFs.
