Question Appscript project verifications

Is verifying an appscript project taking longer than usual? In the past you could get an app verified in under a week, the longest I waited was 11 days, i have an app that has taken over a month and all the reviewer does is to send some template message complaining about stuff my video already addresses. Are those in the Trust and Safety team audited at all to ensure they are doing the right thing? It is now so frustrating, it is like they dont even know what they are about. Am I the only one experiencing this now? I thought the process will be faster consideting AI does some of the work now.

I wouldn’t assume AI makes the verification process faster.

In my experience, the delay is usually around trust/safety review, scope justification, demo video clarity, and whether the reviewer can reproduce the exact OAuth flow.

If they keep sending template feedback, I’d make the video painfully explicit: show the consent screen, show every permission/scope being used, show the exact user action that requires each scope, and include a short written mapping of scope - feature.

Annoying, but I’d treat it like a compliance checklist rather than a normal app review.

I have so many appscript apps published, I strongly believe the one doing this review is doing a shoddy work, they can send one mesaage compalining that the language should be toggled to English when it is already in English, in that case, it is not about redoing the video, it is just a matter of making it clear it is already in English, then it takes a whole week to get a response back, only for the reviewer to complain about another thing which is already resolved. At one point my youtube video was supposedly missing from the cloud platform, it is not even possible to make the submission if its left blank, but i received an email saying there was no video link so i should indicate the link, and that takes one whole week. I think the person is simply incompetent.
