App stuck in Ready for Distribution - not released after 3 days

Hello,

My app JiuGO (App ID: 6779938845) has been stuck in "Ready for Distribution" status since June 22, 2026. I had set an automatic release scheduled for June 22 at 5:00 PM GMT, but the app has not appeared on the App Store after 3 days.

Steps I have already taken:

  • Opened 2 support tickets (Case ID: 102922525686) - no response
  • Called Apple Support - was told to wait due to a conference
  • Posted on Twitter @AppleSupport - no response
  • Tried to manually release - button is not available/greyed out

The app was fully approved after review. All previous issues were resolved. Build 17 is the approved build.

Is there anything I can do to manually trigger the release, or can an Apple engineer escalate this internally?

Thank you, Lucian-Stefan Lacatus
