801720 - Make "Approved but waiting" option available to all apps

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect, P4)

Description

[krupa raj[:krupa]]

We used to list "Approved but waiting" option in Manage Payments page but since we disabled that page, we should make it available someplace.

This should also be part of the submission process.

We should expose this in Manage Status/Versions.

That means the user has to go there after they submission process, right? Which seems awkward to me?

Also, do we want to support this for packaged apps as well? For both initial version and updates? Which also means exposing it in the update flow.

Sorry I didn't mean for the initial setup. That can live in submission flow. I meant instead of Manage Payments - since this option shouldn't be specific to only paid apps.

Why not!?

Ok, so the "Publicize" link should be in the manage status page. Makes sense.

If hosted has it for initial version (which is the only version), it makes sense to support it for packaged apps initial version.

But I'm not so sure about updates. Is it a common use case that a dev would want to defer their update? I'd imagine the majority would want their updates to go out asap.

Isn't this already available on Submit Details page?
