Update: got accepted a week ago, coming tomorrow.

Looks like Apple either never produced more than a first wave, or the process is not transparent with smaller devs and not taking them into account. We just have to resign to a delay until public releases—which is fine, just a bit unexpected, like the total silence.

Got it. It makes absolutely sense, but still not sure given the lack of transparency about reasons/process. Wonder what the current experience of others who applied post-WWDC first wave are.

Last Mon Aug 3rd? I applied on July 23rd and, with the current account, we're in the exact same situation—no apps: but me and my partner are in an accelerator and actively working... Total silence just seems erratic, and criteria opaque. The lack of transparency also makes it hard to contribute to getting something figured out before the new products hit the market.
