The review time for @CoMaps on Google Play has also hit a new record time: 16 days and still counting…
If our map updates would still be tied to app updates, Google Play users would get extremely outdated maps…
@gedankenstuecke @CoMaps did you change anything relevant; for example permissions or foreground services?
Given @vespucci_editor is one of the oldest (March 2009) still available OSS Android apps we've gone through a lot of this, but knowing what potentially caused a review allows us to try and move relevant updates to not-so-criticial times.
@simon @CoMaps @vespucci_editor nope, I don't think any of that was really the case.
Month after month the review times just keep slowly crawling up. From a few days, to a week, to 10 days, 2 weeks, and now even more.
@gedankenstuecke @CoMaps @vespucci_editor might be the Android Auto integration, for us the review times tend to be short except if we change something permission, service or privacy related.
@simon @CoMaps @vespucci_editor that could be, they are particularly picky with that when it comes to map apps. Did you see a relative increase in review times though?

Not noticeable, V22.1.3 took 28 minutes (submitted on October 18th), and we've had times when it took weeks too.
