Hey guys! I have filled out everything I can think to fill out, created every image I can think to create, and I'm still on "prepare for submission" with no option to submit for review. Is this because of the Holiday Break? I just want to make sure it's because of the break and not because of my app. Any ideas?

First time app publisher, so I'm super excited and anxious 🙂

How long ago did you upload that build? It might take the backend a bit to finish processing it before the 'SfR' button lights up...

Or, they've thrown the switch on the backend during the shutdown that prohibits submittals and you'll need to wait for the 'come back later' sign to come down.

In the past, they've silently reopened before the announced date...

Did you upload a build you can then choose to submit for review, yet?

Does your role allow submittals?

I'm having the same problem and this is also my first app! 🙂

Last time I uploaded a new build was 12 hours ago.

I also have added a tvOS platform by mistake. Is there a way to remove it ?

What part of

iTunes Connect Holiday Break: Dec 22 - 29

We’re taking a break for the holidays. During that time, we’ll disable some features, such as app submissions.

do you not understand?

Actually I didn't understand this. It says they are not reviewing until 29th. It doesn't say you cant submit or that the 'submit for review' button wont work until the 29th. I would of thought that the response for this was developers would submit for review to get in the queue ready for when reviewing commences. Very badly worded message from apple connect.

It could not be more plain:

"During that time, we’ll disable some features, such as app submissions."
