Anyone receive their iTunes financial reports for February yet?

seanhelmes · March 2009

Normally I have received my monthly financial report for the prior month sometime between the 5th and 11th of the current month. I have yet to receive my monthly financial report for February? Has anyone received their financial reports for February yet or is iTunes staff running behind schedule a bit? Any knowledge on this would be much appreciated.

I don't have mine either. I wouldn't be surprised if they're running a little behind; they rolled out iTunes 8.1 last night, so maybe that accounts for a little bit of the delay.

I've not had mine either and this is my first month of paid apps - I so badly want to see my first reports!

Forsworn · March 2009

Glad to know I'm not the only one waiting... :)

brendand · March 2009

I don't have mine either.

kilobytedump · March 2009

Anyone know if they work weekends?

February is my first recorded revenue. God I can't wait for it either!

I've got the same issue. Posted here actually: http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/13367-anyone-elses-financial-reports-taking-longer-month.html

And there is some good news. Luckily for February the weeks lined up less one days within the month. Our weekly trends start on 2/2/09 and end on 3/1/09 for those 4 weeks. If you total up the sales from there, you will get a pretty darn close figure to what your actual financial reports will say.

Nonetheless, Apple needs to get this resolved. They get plenty enough of a cut of our sales to put the proper team on making sure the reports get generated and set out in a timely manner.

Still haven't gotten my reports either :(

Are they delayed this month or what!

chill out, they issued Jan's payment around 2.28 - 3.2, so this money should be 3.12-3.16(15th is sunday).

thats my best guess.

Scuba · March 2009

My concern here is that if the financial reports are 10-15 later than normal, does that mean we will be paid 10-15 days later than normal?

I'm good.. I was just saying..

mattjgalloway · March 2009

Still no sign of the reports :-(

kilobytedump · March 2009

Not a sausage.

underthesun · March 2009

not a chinch yet. maybe the app store is getting too big? I have a feeling Apple's going to do something drastic..

mattjgalloway · March 2009

Hmmm yes, I wonder if it's something to do with the iPhone OS 3.0 stuff happening tomorrow... I wonder if things are delayed and there'll be announcements about something interesting about to happen...

underthesun · March 2009

"With this new iPhone OS 3.0, we're also increasing the yearly developer program fees to $999"

wheee

edit: or US$ 599

mattjgalloway · March 2009

Lol they best not!

kieran12 · March 2009

I hope the payments aren't delayed too. I'm using this money to payoff my macbook next month! lol

I guess the 3.0 software announcement probably has something to do with it. Hopefully they'll come out soon.

tkilmer · March 2009

I wish they raised the cost to $999. Would cut down on most of the crapps.

mattjgalloway · March 2009

I certainly hope they don't raise the price - it has enabled me to get into iPhone programming and I don't think my Subnet Calc / Subnet Calc Pro is part of the cruft which I assume you are referring to...

tkilmer · March 2009

I am mostly referring to the fart, gun, and auto-dialer apps. I think people would be less willing to enter the iPhone market at a $999 fee, especially if they are making those types of applications.

mattjgalloway · March 2009

Yes, but so too would people be less willing, like me who started off as a hobby and then the $99 (well, £59) was just about the right amount to pay. If I had to pay $999 per year, then I would definitely not have started iPhone app development.

I think Apple have done really well to make it accessible by so many people. The solution to reducing the amount of cruft is not to make it more expensive. I don't know the solution however...

johnqh · March 2009

OK, let's compromise.

Two levels of membership - $99 for Ad hoc distribution for the hobbyists. $499 for App Store distribution.

I would be happy with that.

mattjgalloway · March 2009

I completely disagree actually. Look at how many developers have posted their success stories about becoming iPhone developers in their spare time and then that becoming their main job after success in the app store. Surely that can only be a good thing for Apple in general?

Howdy, Stranger!
