At this time of writing, binary submission should take only few minutes to appear in iTunesConnect. When my binary did not show up for hours, I can immediately tell that something is not right.

My app was missing purpose string for one of my protected data class (for iOS 10 and later). Once I provided the usage description and resubmitted it, the binary shows up right away.

I thought someone else might be facing the same problem. For a complete list of protected data class that requires descriptions, check out this link: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1937/_index.html
