Google Play Developer Console: App stuck in “Processing Update”

Question

I'm trying to update version 20 of my app. Usually it takes no more than 2 hours for the update to go live. However, I have been waiting 36 hours. Should I resubmit my app?

Answer 1

For anyone stuck on app status "Processing update" with the RESUBMIT APP button grayed out, here's what I did to force resubmitting the app:

1. Go to Store Presence -> Pricing & distribution;
2. Change country X (any) from Available to Unavailable;
3. Once the change is done, the RESUBMIT APP will be enabled gain;
4. Change country X to Available again.

This may work by changing other app info, you'll have to try.

Answer 2

The version of the app as far as I know does not affect anything to the speed of the approval. Try re-submitting the update to the developer console again, there might be a hiccup.

Moreover, here's another StackOverFlow discussion about it

This should be instantaneous (at least it usually is for me). Is the app not offered to you at all? Could one of your settings in AndroidManifest.xml prevent it from being offered to you by the market? via @Heiko Rupp
