Relevant article for all who publish apps on the Google Play store. (I'm sure there are many other sources of information for this also, this article just happened to come into my feed so I thought I'd share it with the forum.)

Not bad. Maybe the reviews are done by humans and there is less risk of being banned.

I have updated one of my apps and still waiting for it to be published. It has been 24 hours for now. Besides new apps, app updates are also affected I think.

That means the app will test thoroughly before releasing an update, hotfixes will not be rolled out fast anymore...
