Ready for Distribution" status for 4 days and Apple Support unresponsive

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with an app update in App Store Connect and wanted to ask if there is anyway to get urgent support.

The update was approved successfully, and the status has been showing as “Ready for Distribution” for over 4 days. Usually, once an update reaches this stage, it becomes available on the App Store within a few hours, but this time it still hasn’t appeared.

So far, I’ve checked the following:

  • The app review was completed successfully.
  • The version is approved and showing a green status.
  • I contacted Apple Developer Support a few days ago. Case ID: 102906011756
  • I have not received any update from Apple Support yet, other than the initial confirmation.

Has anyone else recently had an approved app update stay in “Ready for Distribution” for several days?

Is there anything I can do from App Store Connect to push the release forward, or do I just need to wait for Apple Support?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It looks like there was a delay in the distribution/propagation process after the version reached “Ready for Distribution” status. I did not make any further changes or submit a new build; I waited, and the update eventually appeared on the App Store.

Thank you.
