Good luck to all hard working guys! I myself learnt a lot of stuff just by working on this app. Wont matter if i get rejected. 
Good luck everyone!
I just applied, and realised I attached my .ipa file as an .ipa file and not as a ZIP-file. However, I received the "we've received your application" message.
Do I have to withdraw my application anyway and attach it as a ZIP file again?

I believe it's an error on the website since technically the .ipa can be seen as a compressed file. Don't think it's needed to withdraw your application

Ok, thank you!
Do you know if it is possible to re-apply after withdrawing an application?I'm almost ready to submit mine, but I've just noticed that the project file size is 132mb. Anyone know how to get this down? I have 52mb worth of images which I could compress.
Just applied! I'll make a video tomorrow, but for now I have some screenshots. I just found out last Sunday and have been working hours on end. Saturday and now Sunday have been all nights. It's 2am right now, just submitted. Anyways, since its only 12 hours until registrations close, here are screenshots of my app

You can go up to 100mb, so it shouldn't be a problem unless the connection drops or you have a slow network

Your app looks great! I think you have a good chance of winning a ticket
How old are you?Your app looks great! I think you have a good chance of winning a ticket
Fourteen. Thank you!
I hope all these 2am hackathons pay off! Did you already submit?
Can anyone help me with this?
I am ready to submit my app, however I have a bit of an issue. When I go into the 'Developer' folder and right click on my project, it tells me that the size of the project is 129mb. Obviously the limit is 100mb so I can't submit it like that. I have compressed all of my images and reduced their sizes so that they only take up around 30mb now, but I'm still over the limit. So I have two questions -
1) What could be taking up all of the space?
2) Am I trying to zip the correct folder?

Build->Clean. Maybe that will do it. You could also download the app disk daisy(30day free trial) and point it towards your folder and it will show which folders inside are taking up the most memory.
I seem to have fixed the issue. I uncovered the hidden files and noticed that there was a 93mb .git file in there which I have now removed. File size is now 37mb. That's a relief...
Thanks anyway!
I don't think you can make an IPA with Xcode without the right signing certificates. Do your best to make one manually and when it doesn't work for them they should build and run from Xcode

Also, we're told that we will be notified by May 8. Does that mean we can find out earlier?
I almost finished developing my app and it turned out nicely. I hope I get that ticket!
I put in at least 80+ hours.
Most probably not. We won't have to wait too much time, though.

So what do I need to zip? Did everyone else just zip the project file that is in the 'Developer' folder on your Mac?
Mine contains all the images, storyboards, code, tests and the actual project. Does that sounds correct?

You're pretty young! Yup I submitted mine yesterday, but I'm not sure of my chances, everyone seems to be so good. many sleepless nights this past week..
I made two ZIPs
Zip1:
-IPA file signed with App Store certs
Zip2:
-Entire project dictionary
(Meaning Xcode project dictionary, storyboards, images, code files, etc all as they were on the system. I just right clicked on my project folder and hit compress)
Sounds like I've done it right then. Thanks a lot!
Just to confirm, you archived your app and then clicked 'Export' and 'Save for iOS App Store Deployment'?
How long did the confirmation page take to load for you guys? Mine has been loading for about the last 30 mins...
