I hate to be the new guy but this is our first venture into distributing an app through Apple. Our app will be finished by the end of the year but I've heard you can get pre approval but I'm not really sure where to turn to so I can get the process started either for that or full approval when it's done. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Hello. I'm recently approved as an Apple developer and our company is wondering what the timeline is from app submission to Apple publishing in the app store. Thank you.
