My app (RemiMinderAI, Apple ID: 6776771952) has been showing "Ready for Distribution" for several days, but it does not appear in App Store search results — not by app name, developer name, or keywords. Users can only access it via direct link.
What I've observed:
The app is live and downloadable via direct URL Searching "RemiMinderAI" in the App Store returns zero results The app listing page loads correctly when accessed directly Google Play version is searchable and indexing normally
What I've already done:
Verified all metadata, keywords, and categories are correctly configured in App Store Connect Confirmed the app status is "Ready for Distribution" (not "Developer Removed" or processing) Contacted Apple Developer Support — case was escalated to a senior advisor Waiting on a response from the escalation team
Has anyone experienced a similar issue where the app is live but completely invisible in search? Is there a known delay for search indexing on newly approved apps, or a manual step I might be missing?
Any guidance is appreciated. This is blocking our launch marketing since paid traffic depends on users being able to find the app organically afterward.
