myDevNotes

I haven’t had time to write here, but soon I’ll try to start writing a lot of stuff I had learned with this little project.

By now, I only wan’t to let you know what was the project I had wrote a little about in my second post.

The final App name is South Africa 2010 Soccer Scores and you can find it on the App Store:

• http://itunes.apple.com/pt/app/south-africa-2010-soccer-scores/id379206383?mt=8.

You can also see some info and screen-shots on our App @ http://xphone.me/sa2010ss/.

South Africa 2010 Soccer Scores - App Logo

Unfortunately, I had this idea only some days before the World Cup started!

Nonetheless you developed it then we submitted it to the App Store. After 8 days we were notified of a possible copyright issue with a part of the original name of our App!

In less than a day we changed its name, the splash and title images, etc… and submitted it again…after one week it was approved and published on the App Store.

Unfortunately, that day was July 9th, less than 3 days to the end of the 2010 World Cup! :-/

Well, but in the last 3 days we had more downloads than we imagined from a lot of different countries!! That’s a little good return because it boosts our motivation to the next projects, especially an evolution of that App! 😉

And the work was worth it!! We got some experience and we learned a lot!!

Now we know what is to transform an Idea into a real App in the Apple App Store!

…and that is real a really nice feeling!! =:-)

Maybe on of this days I write a little post-morten about this App development.

I’d like to finish this post with kudos to André, he had done some really good logos/images for our App. And we had done a great team on this project. I’d also to thank to Eugen from Icon Drawer for letting us freely use his cute country flags

See you soon…
