Family Controls (Distribution) Approval Still Pending

I applied for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement on November 22nd. But I never received a confirmation email after I submitted the request.

I then reached out to support who said they would check with the internal team to at least confirm if I had applied.

It's now been 20 days and I have received no updates on the status of my application.

This entitlement is existential to my app and I have been completely blocked while waiting for this as I can't even distribute the app on TestFlight.

I've considered reapplying again just to be safe, but I am worried that might make things worse.

I am a bootstrapped solo founder, and a prolonged delay (or outright denial) of this entitlement would be devastating to me.

Does anyone have any advice on where to go from here?

You are welcome to re-apply as often as you like. You can also file a technical support incident and we can see about getting information as well. I would start with re-applying and giving it about a week before filing.
