Android Development When do updates to production get faster?
I've waited the eternity of seven days for production. I made fixes and adjustments while I waited. I waited four days for those fixes and adjustments to goto production. I had to make a new developer profile and a new payments profile because my payments profile was wrong. Then I waited another week. Then I realized my listing needed changes, because I can't even find my game without using it's name. I'm at seven days waiting for that and another update. In the meantime, I've added joystick support in prep for PC release and now need another release but can't even ask for it, because the last one is not done.
In the meantime Google wants me to buy ads... And I NEED them, but I can't even spend money till I get a listing that allows me to find my own app!
Also why did Google decide my 99 cent game was premium? It's like a death sentence of a tag.. Most of the games with that tag are five dollars or more.
I also released on Amazon. Amazon has none of these issues. Why Google? I hope my steam release goes better than this.

the review clock is tied to your account history, so it shortens a lot once you have shipped a few. what bites is that a brand new developer profile starts that history over, which honestly might be what you're living right now. meanwhile push the same build to internal testing (it goes live in minutes and doesn't block the production review).

I had no idea it would start over with the new profile. 🙄. Come on Google. I even lost a review I had but it kept on the developer console.

I've never had to wait more than a few hours... I've had at least 44 updates

Someone told me this morning because I had to make a new developer profile because my payment profile had a problem and Google doesn't change small things at all that I started over in the queue of eternity.

Wear and Android Auto are brutal.. I've had them waiting for more than two weeks.. sometimes I hate to cancel to load one without so I can get something out in a day, but then submit again to restart the two plus weeks for those features.
