   By the way, the same is happening for the Apple Store.

   Their review process is advocated as usually within 24 hours (and heavily advertised by Apple as such, see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.apple.com&#x2F;distribute&#x2F;app-review&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.apple.com&#x2F;distribute&#x2F;app-review&#x2F;) and it is taking now much longer.

   In the last month, I had to go through the review process twice, and twice I needed to contact them personally after waiting for 1 week of waiting. It did however helped, after every human contact I was reviewed within a few hours.

   I got this explanation from them...

   &gt; We are currently experiencing a higher-than-normal amount of inquiries and have been unable to respond in the time frame that we would prefer. During these periods of high volume, the app review time will take longer than average, and we cannot currently provide a concrete timeline for when your specific app(s) will be finished with the process

   I&#x27;m guessing, AI slots invading the store.

      Or just developer&#x2F;mansgement slop? I don&#x27;t understand why every app needs to be updated every second day (at least it feels like that).

      The easiest way to count how many apps you have is to turn off automated updates and wait a week. The number of updates equals the number of apps.
