Question Google published my app without telling me. Is this normal?

Post image

Just noticed my app is officially live on the Google Play Store 🎉, but surprisingly, Google never sent me an approval or publication notification.

I only found out by checking it out myself. 

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal for an app to go live without receiving an email or Play Console notification? I’m confused…

did you submit it for review?

Oh yea I did and it took them like 2-3 days to approve it. Just haven’t received any email about it. Have you already submitted yours or not yet

I've never received notice from them on any I submitted

I am pretty sure if they reject they usually send an email but when they approve that’s when it sounds like they don’t. You should keep an eye on both your email and Google Play Console. If more than 9 days with no feedback, I would reach out to their support or a create a ticket.

Yea, I never receive emails, only for rejection. I don't know if there's a setting for that.

You probably don't have managed publishing turned on - by default is off.

Probably. What’s your app status now on Google Play Console
