FamilyControls distribution pending for 14+ days and not sure about approach

Hi,

I'm building a wellness app called that helps users manage their phone usage based on their consumption, using the Screen Time API. I need the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement to ship it.

I've already submitted multiple requests across all my bundle IDs, but due to the lack of confirmation feedback after each submission, I may have submitted more than needed. Regardless, the oldest request submitted was on April 22nd (exactly 2 weeks ago), without any reply or change. Is this normal ?

Also, I came across a forum post (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/821964?answerId=885672022#885672022) suggesting that the entitlement is now scoped at the team level rather than per bundle ID, and that I should resubmit a single request. I want to do the right thing here but I'm not sure whether to resubmit or wait and I don't want to make the situation worse than it already is.

We're about a month away from our launch date and this is the last remaining blocker for both TestFlight and App Store submission. Any guidance on next steps, or help prioritizing this, would mean a lot.

Thanks so much,
