My app was accepted by Apple today and I am trying to figure out how many times it has been downloaded. Does anybody know how often the sales stats are updated on iTunes Connect? Is it once per day? If so, at what time is it updated?

In the iOS Provision Portal, in Certificates, Developer (or Distribution) it says:
"*If you do not have the WWDR intermediate certificate installed, click here to download now."
I don't even know what that means. Do I need to download and run that?
or do I need to only download the current certificate only?

I want to put a "rate/review this app" feature into my app.
Is there a way to link directly to the screen in the app store where they review the app? So the customer doesn't have to click through the main app link. Thanks.
EDIT: starting a bounty on this due to the lack of response. Just to make sure it is crystal clear: I am aware that I can link to my app's page in the store, and ask the user to click from there to the "review this app" screen. The question is whether it is possible to link directly to the "review this app" screen so they don't have to click through anything.

While experimenting with iPhone app development, we have several AppIDs which should be deleted - except I can't find any way to delete them! What can I do with them?
If delete is not available, how about renaming, hiding or permanently disabling?
UPDATE:
Beginning April 2013 Apple allows deleting AppIDs. Whoaa!

Let's say we have an application with a deployment target set to 3.0 and we want to raise the deployment target to 3.2. Normally, the App Store won't let the App be installed on devices with an IOS version less then this, but what about devices which already had the App installed prior to the update? Will they see the update but won't be able to install, will they just not see the update or, heavens forbid, will be able to install and the app just won't start?
I searched everywhere for this, but I can't find anything about raising the minimum OS version for an app update.
Thanks!

In a day or two I'll be ready to submit my iPhone app to the AppStore and I'm curious whether people who have gone through this process have any tips / suggestions for a smooth submission process.
Here's things I've covered;
- No memory leaks
- Tested performance on an actual device
- Doesn't crash :)
- Using correct certificates / profile
What I'm a little unsure about are how to configure the "Bundle Display Name" /"Bundle Identifier" and "Bundle Name" in info.plist. I understand the first is the text that's shown on the iPhone itself, but what about the last? Does this have to match Bundle Identifier?
Are there any other things I should add to the info.plist? I've noticed that when built for Adhoc distribution my app does not have any author/title information in iTunes.

I'm uploading a binary for the first time. iTunes Connect has asked me:
Export laws require that products containing encryption be properly authorized for export.
Failure to comply could result in severe penalties.
For further information, click here.
Does your product contain encryption?
I use https://, but only via NSURLConnection and UIWebView.
My reading of this is that my app doesn't "contain encryption," but I'm wondering if this is spelled out anywhere. "Severe penalties" doesn't sound pleasant at all, so "I think that's right" is a bit sketchy... an authoritative answer would be better.
Thanks.

My team and I have an app which we're going to be submitting to the store pretty soon, but we know that we'll be selling the app to another company in the near future. Does anyone have any experience with moving an app's ownership to another account?
Specifically, when I sell an app to another company...
- How do we move the app to their account (what's the mechanism)?
- Can my users still get updates (released by the new owner) without having to re-buy/re-download the app?
