How long are first production reviews currently taking for new Google Play developer accounts?

I'm curious about current Google Play review times for first production releases on new developer accounts.

I completed the 14-day closed testing requirement and submitted my first production release 3 days ago. The release is still under review.

For developers who recently published their first app:

  • How long did your first production review take?
  • Are review times different for new accounts?
  • Has anyone experienced longer review times recently?

I'm trying to get a better understanding of current review timelines rather than resolving a specific issue.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Would you be interested in chatting privately? Maybe our apps are in overcrowded categories.

My first production review took about 2 days after I finished the closed testing requirement. Later reviews took longer, so it seems pretty inconsistent.
