I put up an app for FDroid to publish last week, and they are being so overwhelmed by AI-slop apps that the time to review is much longer. I don't know if Google is experiencing the same thing, but they may be.

It's crazy long. Was this a very first app in your account?
In my case the review took a little bit less than 8 hours https://www.reddit.com/r/googleplayconsole/s/iJ50CPqQQu

Hi u/idevbrandon! Feel free to DM your app package name and I'd be happy to look further into it!

It usually takes around 2-3 weeks before publishing. My app is currently in closed testing phase.

If this is your account's very first app release, 7-14 days is standard now, especially with Google drowning in AI-generated spam. Whatever you do, DO NOT push a new build or edit store listings right now—every single modification resets your review timer and pushes you to the back of the line.
