To date, iTunes Connect has yet to offer any renewal option on its website to developers. This is despite the fact that the page itself says, "Within 90 days of your contract expiration, a renewal contract will be available to you in the 'Request New Contracts' section above."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1236708637.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>One developer was told <em>"As soon as a process is in place, you'll be notified via e-mail or the website," the represenative said. "It's a new program. This program was not yet in place last year, and Apple needs time."</em> Apple did say they wouldn't pull already approved apps just because the contracts haven't been renewed. I guess that is some consolation, but it seems like this should have been in place already since the program is a year old.</p>
