Minecraft – Pocket Edition version 0.10.0 To Be Submitted To Apple Tomorrow

Minecraft – Pocket Edition, the mobile version of the highly successful game developed by Mojang, is going to receive a new update soon.

Johan Bernhardsson, one of the developers of Minecraft – Pocket Edition, has confirmed that the team will submit the 0.10.0 update to Apple tomorrow for certification. If everything goes well, we will see the update becoming available in the next few days.

We have no idea why build 8 did not go out to people. One more day of testing tomorrow and then submit to Apple on Tuesday. :)
