Routing App Coverage File

Desert Diva · September 2012

I uploaded a new app on 3rd Sept, it went in to review on 12th Sept and then nothing over night...I started wondering so I logged in and saw that I had to sign a new contract for IOS 6, which I did, then went in to see my status (history) for the app in review and I saw on the large icon, was written "Routing App Coverage File". What does this mean?

I am not sure what it does mean, though my app "Ready for sale" after some minutes when i saw this "Routing App Coverage File" label. The app took about 4 hours "In Review" and like 10-20 minutes in "Processing for the app store".

I just got a Routing App Coverage File on my icon too

My app is still in review....this is not a good sign. Past experience has told me that 2 days in review, with an uncomplicated app is bad news. I am getting tired of having to update things....I am old and it takes me ages to learn new stuff. I had to update to Lion to use the new Xcode, and my iPad apps need updating for iPad3 but my brain is going boing boing boing right now......Jeeeeeeeeeez

2 days is actually pretty fast turn around. The average turn around is 2 - 3 weeks, even for already approved apps.

As far as the thread, I went in to check stats on our game/app and as others mentioned, it has the "Routing App Coverage File" text under the large app icon. Our app has been in the store since April, so it's not new ... is this due to the iOS6 or is it just another confusing thing Apple likes to do?

In iOS 6 and later, Map Kit is built on a new infrastructure hosted by Apple. Earlier iOS releases will continue to use Google’s service. API compatibility will be maintained (see known issues below). Maps are now supported in Simulator.
Map data will coninue to evolve—only a limited amount of high-resolution satellite imagery is currently available.
Routing apps that do not specify a coverage file during development will always be displayed in the Maps routing search results. Testing and debugging of coverage files for routing apps is only supported during development through the Xcode Run workflow. (You can specify the coverage file for a given Run scheme using the Options pane of the Run
section of the scheme editor.) Apps that are archived and distributed (outside of the App Store) onto devices will not have access to the app’s coverage files.

My apps are not routing apps, but they still show the "Routing App Coverage File" under the Icon in iTunes Connect.

So my app currently has the "Routing App Coverage File" and has been "In Review" for 4 days now (usually my apps are not in review more than 4 hours). They don't use the map api in any way. Does anyone have any clue what's going on here?

Desert Diva · September 2012

Rory, that is the same as mine.

RoryHarvey · September 2012

I wonder if there's an issue with the reviews at the moment due to IOS6 or something. I've had two apps

1) Go into "review" within 2 days (WTF)
2) Stay in review for 4+ days (WTF)

Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Desert Diva · September 2012

Well my app was finally rejected. The reason was not clear and I am losing it with the app store to be honest.

Routing App Coverage File has nothing to do with waiting for review and review times or rejections.

After how many days "in review" was it rejected?

Desert Diva · September 2012

3 days
