While perhaps somewhat overly terse, sig's comment is valid; we cannot determine from your post exactly what it is you're referring to. To where are you trying to "upload" this widget and what do you mean by "previously submitted" and "selling"? Without knowing exactly what it is you're trying to accomplish, it's all but impossible to offer cogent advice.


Regards.

Apple has not listed any updates or new widgets since February of this year, so it would seem probable that they are no longer accepting new submissions nor updates to existing Dashboard widgets. You can try submitting a query to Apple Developer Support, if you're a developer program member, and see if they can provide any information.


Regards.

WILCO Dave!


We tried submitting a query to Apple Developer Support before posting here - nevertheless, there was no option to contact dev support at all (expect in the iOS DevProgram which isn't really the concerned partie we guess) - anyway, we contacted a company of a Jan 2011 upload and will provide feedback in this very discussion.


Again, thank you very much for your highly appreciated assistance in this matter.

Unfortunately, the only thing we could conclude is that dashboard widgets are of no more interest and/or there is a communication failure at the OS vendor end... we gave it up and let go providing updates through our own sites.

Nevertheless, any information on policy and/or clean update procedue update would be highly appreciated!

Thanks for posting... I'm experiencing the same thing, it's nice to know I'm not going crazy.


I've periodically attempted to update my widget in the past year... It's free, I make no money from it, and neither does Apple, but it's not about me or Apple, it's about the people who want to use the app, and learn how to play the piano.


I've invested a few hours attempting to move forwards on this issue, and if it's truely not possible... then that seems like a large shortfall in customer service; it's not just the developers wasting time, it's the customers looking for the products.


If I'm missing something, please let me know.
