Hi Square Team, I submitted the Square Mobile Payments SDK – Stand MFi Approval Form for Givanta. Apple has placed our first App Store release on hold until Square confirms that the app has been added to the MFi Product Plan. App name: Givanta Bundle identifier: com.jabratarazi.GivingKiosk App Store version: 1.0 Apple identified these protocols: com.squareup.s020 com.squareup.s025 com.squareup.s089 com.squareup.protocol.stand. Could you please confirm that the form submission has been received and advise when Givanta has been submitted to Apple for MFi approval? Apple has confirmed that no new binary is required. Thank you. ---

Yes I see your application! I’ll reply back to this post once we have submitted to Apple and once we get confirmation that it has been approved. I’d plan for ~10 business days for final approval. ---

Hi Ashley, Just following up on the MFi approval for Givanta. I understand you guys are working through a fairly heavy queue, so I just wanted to check whether there has been any progress or whether you need anything further from me at this stage. Apple is waiting for the Square/MFi approval before I can resubmit the app, so once that comes through I should be able to move ahead fairly quickly. Thanks again for your help and for keeping me updated. Jabra ---

I actually just submitted yours this morning! Will follow up here once I get approval notices from Apple. Usually takes 1-5 days. ---
