What time do games go live at Apple?

Does anyone know what time of day your game goes live on the day you set it to release in the Apple App Store?

I think fogarty meant what time of day does it go live once it's reviewed if you've set it for a future date.

Maybe an hour after approval.

If you set it to go live December 20th and they approve it in August it will be little longer than an hour before it goes live :P

But yes if you haven't given a future date for release they will release it shortly after approving it.

At midnight every full moon, that's when the Games and Apps come to life.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The app is already approved, but we're not releasing it until next week. So if it's already approved and the date is set for August 22, what time will it go live on August 22?

From what I recall it is actually midnight for international Apps(the very start of the new day) starting with Japan/New Zealand.

Thanks, @RP.
