How long until my release goes live?
After you submit, the release is reviewed and delivered to your chosen stores — typically within 24 hours. Each store then has its own ingestion window, so set the release date at least 2 weeks ahead to avoid release-day delays; if you need it sooner, the early-release add-on unlocks a closer date and Fast Release shortens the turnaround.
