Gallery Apps Manager Approval Process

[che-effe]

Hello!
I seem to be in a bit of a state where I can't take action until someone approves or rejects my latest build submission. unable to upload screenshots etc. How long is the lead time for this these days?
App name: SaltyDog

Hi @che-effe - it seems that Google are not responding to reviews updates anymore, or even taking note of emails.

Once you make a change the only way to make another change is to cancel it but run the risk of going to the bottom of the queue when you resubmit it, if ever the queue gets processed.

Your app seems quite useful, have you considered building it for later models so others can use it?

@Guy_ Thats precisely whats this new build is meant to do. Life got in the way after making the first iteration of SaltyDog and winning 1st Place (Location Category) in the #Made4Fitbit app competition when they first introduced the GAM and FitbitStudio. Two kids later I finally got back to adding new features and up-leveling the supported devices list.
I'm only targeting devices that can do GPS on their own without needing a companion app to let the phone do that.

@che-effe - seems a good idea and well done, duly deserved. 

I'm stuck too with the approval process which frankly is dire for even the simplest of changes.

Annoyingly updating texts puts them into limbo status, no way to retrieve the new text while it's pending, so the reviewers are blocking you.

You can cancel the request but will lose any changes you made to text or clock images.

When developing for the Sense 2 or Versa 4, do it first on an older watch (Sense or Versa 3) that exists in the Simulator.

Also going from Ionic, to Versa or a Versa 3, that means 2 more geometries to manage. But from the Versa 2 you get double the RAM.
