Just venting about the v1.25.1 release getting stuck in Google Play's review hell. Normally Google reviews updates for apps within 1-2 hours however every so often a release might get held up. It's not a transparent process so I can only guess what is happening is that the release was selected to be manually reviewed or something. Unfortunately until the release is reviewed and published I can't really publish any other releases. I'm still working on features for the app but it's frustrating I can't release them out to users. I'll keep everyone posted in the v1.26.0 release post.

Update: v1.25.1 has been published!

I feel you and it happened to me too this week. In my case I cancelled all the pending reviews and resubmitted and in 2 hours everything was approved. Sometimes it happens... I know the frustration of working to your best to deliver fixes and improvements to your users and then getting stuck. The review process can last up to 7 days according to the documentation, but if after a couple of days you get no news you can consider doing like I did (cancel pending reviews and resubmit). In any case, as always, thank you for the app I really appreciate your excellent work. Lemmy is not easy to deal with and I find the lack of documentation on their APIs really painful.

I tried that and it's still not approved. I'm guessing it got flagged for manual review and I can't do anything to prevent it.
