Hi,
I wanted to clarify the process for any critical updates you may need to make that may potentially need a higher priority when it comes to a review. A critical issue would be something that causes a large impacting issue to your resource, such as a fatal error that prevents it from working.
Submit the new version of your resource with only the fix for the issue, no other bug fixes or enhancements. Specify in the change log what the fix is for (so it's obvious to us what you are fixing). Submit a support ticket asking for an expedited review. Asking for an expedited review doesn't guarantee we'll be able to do it, but we'll try our best where possible.
Thank you!
Stuart

Hi and welcome to our new series of updates for our contributors.
We'll highlight the most common mistakes, ways to resolve them and also generic improvement suggestions once a month here:)
 
As first, I want to apologies that some files took really long to get approved, but we really expected that new submissions and upgrades would have a better quality, but unfortunately >60% of the submissions ( 90% in the first week) were still not following the new marketplace guidelines, which resulted in a devils circle.
 
Let's recap the last months issues resulting in rejections🙂
Core Database changes. Version details not changed. Usage of existing IPS error codes in your own code. Usage of \IPS\ROOT_PATH in your code.
See 4.5 dev changes Upgrade steps trying to process too many data.
Please try to process data from huge tables in batches instead of iterating over such a big datasource in one step.  
We're also seeing a huge trend in extra queries and extra joins, which are unnecessary most of the time, please don't be lazy and try to use your common sense and ask yourself what's the preferred solution in this case? A global join each time the object is initialized?  A second query when the object is initialized? Lazy load the data when needed?
Last but not least, please avoid altering the Groups database table! While we allowed this in the past,  we see a big trend that many developers already use own tables and logic for this too, which works really great. Because of this we'll start to be more strict here, so starting tomorrow any new submissions will have to follow this rule too! 

@Douglas Glover: You'll need to complete the Marketplace onboarding process in the ACP. There should be (or should have been) a notification in the ACP when you log in as an administrator that would have asked you to setup Marketplace and walk you through a process of verifying that the extensions, applications, themes, and languages installed on your community were matched with what it thought the resource on the IPS Marketplace is. For every extension you've purchased from the Marketplace here in 4.4 or earlier, you'd match it with the appropriate entry.
This matching process, in our testing, got many of our extensions correctly matched, however in instances where the Marketplace title was different from what the actual plugin/application is called in its manifest. Once you match up all of your entries, you then confirm your finished, and the onboarding is complete. The first time we tested 4.5, it was not clear and we ended up getting into a situation where the Marketplace thought all of our entries were custom entries. This may be the scenario you're in.
You'll likely want to create a support ticket and ask for assistance if this isn't working. There may be a way to restart that onboarding process.
If this is a test upgrade and not your production site, I'd recommend starting over and looking a bit more carefully at what the notification says. It was not as clear as it could have been. Hope this helps!
As you pointed out, uninstalling and reinstalling will likely erase the data associated with your resources. You don't want to do that.
Here's what you should see:
 

Now you need to have an active license to download and buy products from the marketplace.

@tzrtim Go to AdminCP -> Pages -> PAGE MANAGEMENT -> Templates -> Axenarticle Featured.
Remove everything from the first div.

Edit HTML theme and go to forums -> font -> index -> forumRow.
Find:
<dt class="ipsDataItem_stats_number">{number="$count" format="short"}</dt> Replace:
<dt class="ipsDataItem_stats_number">{number="$count"}</dt>  

No, If you want to add another ID to this code, you need to do like this:
.ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large { color: transparent; background: url(https://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/arrioch/halloween/32/devil-icon.png) no-repeat center center; }  

No, If you want to add another ID to this code, you need to do like this:
.ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large, .ipsDataItem[data-forumid='2'] .ipsItemStatus.ipsItemStatus_large { color: transparent; background: url(https://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/arrioch/halloween/32/devil-icon.png) no-repeat center center; }  

DELETE FROM core_member_history WHERE log_member = X AND log_type = 'display_name'; X is member ID.

In the "Personalization" tab.

@GazzaGarratt As of IPS 4.5, the theme doesn't affect the AdminCP.

Can you please add a 'lang' parameter to the Pixabay API request? And add it as class property, so we can overwrite it using hook.

The stable version 3.0.0 is now available for download.
I introduced more control in update 3.0.0:

Hi guys. I'm sorry for any confusion and frustration. This is something I personally insisted upon and it was done for a multitude of reasons. 
First and foremost, we want to really promote more harmony within third party applications. 4.4, because of its looser standards that did not require authors to use versioning/update notifications, ultimately allowed a hodge podge of current and outdated resources that would collide with one another (and the core) leading to unnecessary issues, customer frustration and support overhead. With everything managed within the AdminCP, you have easy access to updates - the same as the core software. 
Requiring Marketplace apps be installed through the AdminCP also helps ensure that what you're installing is the latest the author has uploaded, it was been reviewed by IPS (our process for this has changed and improved with 4.5 and we also screen upgrades now.) If we were to permit downloads and manual installation, you would get the warning that it is an untested resource (there are no provisions in the file itself that indicate it came from the marketplace), it would be installed outside of the Marketplace management/upgrade system and things like the support tool would warn you every time you use it that you're using an untested third party application. 
I understand the use case for 'localhost' development and testing. I would consider that a niche case at this point, but later down the line, we would be happy to, if demand dictates, explore potential ways to allow manually saving a file in a manner that ensures the file and account are validated and the file operates within the Marketplace framework.  We have no immediate plans to consider that development expenditure at this time, however. 
You could reach out to the author as well with these rare circumstances, but to be honest, this change also helps them from a piracy standpoint, so they may not be willing to give up files to customers so easily and again, if they do, it would not be installed within the new Marketplace framework. 
I'm sorry again for the frustration and @Dean_ you're not being a nuisance at all. I completely understand your position. Again, should circumstances change in the future, we can re-evaluate. At this point, just slapping up the file again would defeat the entire purpose of the 4.5 Marketplace, so that's unfortunately not under consideration at this moment. 
@Paul E. I'm sorry that happened to you and we've found similar. Because of that, there are new development guidelines in place that authors must adhere to and we have become very stringent in what we will approve. 
@ibaker XF, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't even have an App Store/marketplace and they don't review any third party resource. That's respectfully an apples and oranges comparison. As a point of clarification, although you find things from Invision Community creeping into XF, we on the other hand have no interest in competing with XF. If I were to simplify the comparison in this case, they adopt more of an Android approach and we prefer the Apple approach. You can hack your Android up to pieces if that's your thing, but the beauty of an Apple device lies in its balance between power, simplicity and stability. Our core demographic has demonstrated time and again, they prefer and expect the Apple-esque approach from us. Respectfully, if Android is your thing, please don't make yourself angry and miserable by shoehorning your expectations into an Apple device and/or trying to turn Apple into Android. 🙂 
Thanks for your understanding!

Awaiting approval by IPS team.
