@Gargron yeah, historically they take a break around the holiday but they apparently didn't do that this year. they did caution that review could take longer dec 23-27, so maybe there was a big queue a few days prior and it's still in the pipe?

@Gargron Delays due to the holidays since they reduce staff and slow down reviews. Should be cleared up by the 28th.

@Gargron
Check out Metatext in the meantime

@Gargron they are slow during the holidays

@Gargron Is Apple working with twitter? 🤔 Hmm....

@Gargron i got it just now!

@Gargron I just got the update 👍

@Gargron it has arrived

@Gargron apparently it’s available here… (App Store, France)

@Gargron 1.4.9 is now available here in France, and I’m using it to write this post.

@Gargron for me it’s visible in German App Store, Apple is not doing the holiday break anymore. Server sync issues maybe

@Gargron it’s here in the UK

@Gargron just got it here in Canada 🇨🇦🙌

@Gargron available 😎👍

@Gargron It was available 6 days ago in Spain…

@Gargron right now:

@Gargron Available on the UK App Store now.

@Gargron The update is available already. For some reason the app did not auto-update yet 🤷‍♂️.

@Gargron It’s available in the UK now!

@Gargron Is available now.

@Gargron interesting coincidence, you post this and then hours later it appears.

@Gargron It's available for me now! 🎉 Btw this year the annual Christmas delay wasn't supposed to happen: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2022/12/01/app-store-holiday-freeze-2022/
So no idea what went wrong.

@Gargron it is available but only if you visit the mastodon App Store page. Smaller updates land there and not at the update menu

@Gargron I just checked and now, as you complained, I can see it, at least in the German AppStore. Super strange, usually just app-review takes a few days off during christmas.

@Gargron Version 1.4.9 is now available in the Austrian App Store. Thank You and merry Christmas 🎄

@Gargron It’s available now and just updated mine.

@Gargron third party appstores were a mistake...

@Gargron Since Apple introduced the App Store, they do not make new submissions available during Xmas time. They shutdown their review process before Xmas and start again after New Year's Day. You have to wait until 2023 and until they work off the accumulated wave.

@Gargron I was refreshing it all week. It’s there now, dated December 19

@Gargron it’s probably the phased release or 7-day period?

@Gargron
Google play store

@Gargron I just had it show up in the US App Store within the last 30 minutes or so. However, the list for it shows the latest version having been released 6 days ago. Some sort of holiday hiccup, maybe? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Gargron Available in the US now as well.
