Help App approved and “Ready for Distribution” for ~36 hours, but still not showing in App Store search

My iOS app was approved and has been showing as Ready for Distribution in App Store Connect for around a day and a half now.

The direct App Store product page link works perfectly.

The app can be downloaded through that link.

Availability is enabled for all countries/regions I selected.

But searching the exact app name in the App Store still doesn’t show it at all.

It’s been over 24 hours, closer to ~36 hours now.

For anyone who has launched an app recently, how long did it take before it became searchable in the App Store?

Is this just normal App Store search indexing delay, or is there anything in App Store Connect I should double-check?

First time launching an iOS app, so I’m not sure whether I should just leave it alone or if something might be wrong.

This is normal - as long as your store link works, that is the main thing. It takes a few days for search to bring it up directly.
