I'm trying to update version 20 of my app. Usually it takes no more than 2 hours for the update to go live. However, I have been waiting 36 hours. Should I resubmit my app?

For anyone stuck on app status "Processing update" with the RESUBMIT APP button grayed out, here's what I did to force resubmitting the app:

  1. Go to Store Presence -> Pricing & distribution;
  2. Change country X (any) from Available to Unavailable;
  3. Once the change is done, the RESUBMIT APP will be enabled gain;
  4. Change country X to Available again.

This may work by changing other app info, you'll have to try.
