I am experiencing some issue with "Pending publication" status for my Android application in Google Play Developer Console.

Currently it is 20 hours and nothing happens.

How long does it really take to publish? (I am from Croatia if that is a case)

1st version enrolled for publish on May, 5th at 18:58 (GMT/UTC+2). Last version (3rd) enrolled today, May 6th at 03:10 (GMT/UTC+2).

  • AndroidX implemented
  • Firebase connected
  • No errors
  • Graphics added
  • Content rating added
  • Price added

Everything is setup correctly.

This status "pending" is already for a 19 hours and I have to have it running tomorrow for my presentation.

Why does this application take so long to publihs, while others were published within 3 hours?

Thank you.

As Google said in a statement that review times would take upto 7 days or longer in exceptional cases.

  • Also if you have created new Google Play Console Account then it would take some time. (It took 12 days for my first app to be live because of my newly purchased Google Play Console Account, so don't worry)

  • If your app contains advertisements then target age group properly otherwise it will lead rejections. Also, you can disallow some ads category from your Google Admob Account.
