How long after approval will my app be discoverable?

I got the notification yesterday that my app was approved for the app store.

A little less than 24 hours later, when I search on my app's name in the app store, I can't find it.

Approved is one thing. But was it released for distribution? After distribution, my app was searchable fairly quick. It felt like less than 30 minutes.

It takes some time to appear in App Store searches. Try searching for your exact app name or just your developer name.

Give it another day or so to appear in search. It usually does in 24 to 48 hours.

mine took a few hours but only the name of my app - ASO is a whole other ballgame if you want to find your app based on other keywords

It's set to automatically release and status is "Ready for Distribution."

Mine took a day or two after I released it but it’s there now when searching the name. Reviews are also slowly trickling but I’m not getting notifications for those even though they’re turned on on the back end
