I have a universal app available on both iOS and macOS. The macOS version appears in App Store search results and can be found normally. The iOS version has been approved and is available for download via its direct App Store link, but it does not appear in App Store search results when searching by app name. This is my first App Store release, so I’m not sure whether this is a normal indexing delay or a configuration issue.

Information:

  • Platform: iOS and macOS
  • Direct App Store links work for both versions
  • macOS version is searchable
  • iOS version is not searchable

Is there anything in App Store Connect that I should verify, or is there a typical delay before a newly released iOS app becomes searchable?

Thank you for any guidance.

What is the purchase area that you have selected with your Apple ID account? I have read several topics of the same nature in the past two to three weeks. Many of their claims have been wrong. It's either you have misspelled an app name in running a search or not waiting long enough for the server to propagate data or not selecting the right market. Who knows what you have done wrong?
