6 months later, OnLive app is still waiting for approval

Cody Lee ∙ June 7, 2012

In late 2011, OnLive announced that it would be bringing its over-the-air console gaming platform to iOS. It promised that users, wielding its dedicated controller, would have access to a library of tens of thousands of popular games on their iOS devices.

But as cool as it sounded, the magic soon wore off as the app's ETA went from "imminent" to "your guess is as good as ours." It's now been 6 months since the OnLive team submitted its iOS client to the App Store. And it's still awaiting Apple's approval...

Turns out it is geared to hit the App Store later this year.

Engineer David Petrou delivered the good news in part of his keynote address in which he stated that pending approval from Apple, Goggles should be available in as little as 3 months time...

Apple Now Accepting iOS 4 Apps Submissions

Sébastien Page ∙ June 11, 2010

Apple started sending emails to developers to let them now they can submit their iOS 4 apps for review and approval. iOS 4 contains many new features that require developers to update their applications to make sure they will be compatible.

Previously known as iPhone OS, Apple decided to rebrand this operating system that runs on the iPhone, the iPad and the iPod Touch. I think the big new feature of iOS 4 is the long-awaited multitasking support that will allow applications to run in the background, as long as they follow Apple's guidelines of course...

What's your favorite new feature of iOS 4? Are you looking forward to trying on specific apps on iOS 4?
