Hi Guys,

Submitted an extension for approval on the 13th and am still waiting. Previous extension i submited was approved double quick. Does anyone know how long these things typically take?

Thanks

Manual review usually takes between one and two weeks.  
So don’t hold your breath 🙂 .

From my experience, the very first addon submission is almost always manually reviewed, but the the following updates are not - in those cases the addon is reviewed within a minute or two.

It’s been 3 years for me! Submitted only on 2 Dec but feels like 3 years ago! I will sweat it out.
