App Shows “Ready for Distribution” but Is Unavailable on the App Store

Hi everyone,

My iOS app (version 1.0) was approved over 24 hours ago and has been showing “Ready for Distribution” in App Store Connect since then.

The app is configured to be available in 172 countries and regions, but it's still inaccessible on the App Store.

When opening the direct App Store link:

On the web: “The page you're looking for can't be found.”

On iPhone: “App Not Available. This app is currently not available in your country or region.”

I've confirmed that my country is included in the selected availability regions.

It's now been over 24 hours, and the app is still not accessible.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is this a known App Store propagation delay, or could there be an issue on Apple's end that requires intervention?

I've attached screenshots showing both errors.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, do you see your app live on the App Store yet?

I am running into the same issue with my newly released version.

FYI, here's another thread where others reported the same issue:

The app is still unavailable on the App Store. I reached out to Apple Support, and they escalated the issue. They mentioned it could take at least a week to hear back because they're currently overwhelmed with support requests.
