Has anyone submitted an app or game for preorder in the iOS App Store?

Yes, really good way to get loads of downloads on day 1 and temporarily boost you up the charts. Keep in mind if you release for pre-order globally and then soft launch in one country then you lose your pre-orders from other countries after a week or so (happened to me and it really sucked).
thank you for the advice, when you launched globally did you internalize your app or translate it to local languages?
Nope, primary focus was retention. Figured there was no point doing additional ASO without making something people loved first. Since parked development but I get a few cents a day in ad revenue. About 100 daily active users across 2 apps.
was your app fully built out when you submitted it for preorder? I wanted to set up app store landing pages for the three apps i am building
Yes it was fully functional, Apple will reject your app if there's any bugs. I made some minor tweaks and added new functionality but it was pretty much ready for release when I submitted.
