I'm trying to update version 20 of my app. Usually it takes no more than 2 hours for the update to go live. However, I have been waiting 36 hours. Should I resubmit my app?

At first, It wouldn't work. But then I updated to Android Studio 2.2.3 and changed my `compileSdkVersion` to 25 and submitted. It still took some time but it finally went through. – grantespo Oct 24 '16 at 03:00

1@SamwinishereHere It's usually the fault of Google's servers. But I think changing the version code and version name in my app helped as well as updating the store listing description. Good Luck! – grantespo Jun 04 '18 at 14:54

for me updating the store listing description seemed like has been unstuck the app review – ghita Aug 23 '19 at 10:05

For anyone stuck on app status "Processing update" with the RESUBMIT APP button grayed out, here's what I did to force resubmitting the app:
- Go to
Store Presence->Pricing & distribution; - Change country
X(any) fromAvailabletoUnavailable; - Once the change is done, the
RESUBMIT APPwill be enabled gain; - Change country
XtoAvailableagain.
This may work by changing other app info, you'll have to try.

The version of the app as far as I know does not affect anything to the speed of the approval. Try re-submitting the update to the developer console again, there might be a hiccup.
Moreover, here's another StackOverFlow discussion about it
This should be instantaneous (at least it usually is for me). Is the app not offered to you at all? Could one of your settings in AndroidManifest.xml prevent it from being offered to you by the market? via @Heiko Rupp

1It's been more than 24 hours in my case. I had uploaded the apk in alpha mode but due to some reason I couldn't make it to production. Now after around 1 year I submit an alpha release to my alpha testing with higher version number and it's getting stucked at processing your update. – Aman Verma Aug 27 '18 at 23:29

I found a fix In my case its covid 19 time ao usually it took longer like 3 4 days for every review
My main app's version 23 was submitted for review in covid time (aug 2020)
In this mean time i cross checked how long it takes by simply removing adding available countries list for 3 of my old apps All apps are reviewed in 24hours
So i thought my main app also be reviewed in 24houts but unfortunately it took 3days to come live
Main app's version24 was submitted next day it took 4hours to reviewed
But next day my version 25 was submitted but my app was stuck at "processing review" for 7days
The point i did is i removed some countries in available countries list and submitted for review (as i did for my secondary dummy apps)
Boom it was reviewed in 5hours
(Before changing the countries list for my main app, I've talked with developers conaole chat, but they recommended me to not to do any changes,but i lost patience as my app is not visible in playstore for 7 days so with brave i changed the countries list and it really worked)

No, recently I had these type of experiences. its not in your countroll. Keep in mind, if it takes time to be reviewed, then they are reviewing your app's title,description,and contents if your app is violating any google play policies. Once they verify your app will come live, for me it took 10 days one time and 4 days one time. – Rajesh Feb 23 '21 at 14:12
