App approved for distribution 10 days ago, but still not appearing on the App Store. Anyone experienced this?
I’m an independent developer and recently submitted my first app to Apple.
On September 27, 2026, Apple approved my app for distribution. App Store Connect showed Ready for Distribution.
It’s now October 7, and I still can’t find the app publicly on the App Store.
I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support and followed up on the issue, but I’m still waiting for a resolution.
I’m trying to understand whether this is an isolated issue or something other developers have experienced.
Has anyone dealt with an app being approved but not becoming publicly available for this long?
If so, what eventually resolved it? Was there something in App Store Connect that needed attention, or did Apple have to fix it on their end?
I’d appreciate any insight from developers who’ve experienced this.
Thanks!
