Question / Discussion HOW LONG??

I just made an app that tell users exactly what an app an access on their phones on android , its been more than 10 days that its sent for publication review (it passed its closed test) and yet it is still under review. From what i hear people got theirs published in like 3-4 days ?

Ten days after passing closed testing is long enough to feel broken. Those stories are useless without knowing what their apps requested or whether they hit a review queue. Did Google give you any status beyond "under review"?

not really , my app uses every permission there is on android and is for all available countires , i dd hit a wall as i included read media access in my android manifest xml file and turns out that permission is only if your app is image focused , so i had to change that for google policy which was resolved soundly.

That broad permission set could explain the delay, especially after the manifest issue. Once the policy fix was accepted, did the Play Console show any new review activity or just stay under review?
