Your application cannot be posted to the App Store
I built a helloworld program and submitted to Apple last week. This morning, I received the reply. (Am I violating the NDA?)
“Dear Jeffery,
Your application cannot be posted at this time because you specified English as the primary language, but the application is not in English. In order for your application to be reconsidered for the App Store, please resolve this issue. I suggest one of the following options:
1. Translate the text on the application to English, and upload your new binary to iTunes Connect.
OR
2. Since the primary language for the current file cannot be changed, create a new one, choose Chinese as the primary language, and upload the same binary.
Thank you.”
hey please…..My Application is showing information for HONG KONG people. Who will read it if I translate it into English?
OK~ Second option!!! Choose CHINESE as the primary language.
Where is it?
I understand the App Store is fresh and the response from developer is huge. It may takes sometime to make it run smoothly.
Anyway, it gives 2 hints. Maybe:
1. There a something everybody expecting (Chinese Option) but doesn’t exist.
2. The chance to meet Chinese Application is low. (…actually I see many China developer released app there.)
3. There really a Chinese option, but it only appear with tricky skill.
Anyway, still a valuable experience. Any try out the process and get the error is my original reason to submit a helloworld app.

I replied with what I said in the post already.
Actually they already approved the app!! BUT, this time waiting for them to approve the contract of the app, even that is a free app.
