We’ve recently received several questions about App review timelines and review status, so we’d like to clarify how the current review process works.
How long does App review take?
Each time an App is submitted or resubmitted for review, we will process it within 5 business days.
Every App goes through two parts of review:
- Content Review: We check whether the App meets the basic quality requirements for a public release. This includes whether the core functionality works as expected, whether the actual experience matches the App description, whether Marketplace information such as the logo, screenshots, and description is complete and clear, whether users can understand what the App does and how to use it, and whether there are any obvious user experience issues.
- Security Review: We check whether the App can run safely and reliably within the Anna environment. This includes whether Tools / Executa are properly packaged and deployed, whether dependencies and workflows function correctly in Cloud Agent / Local Agent, whether permissions, external APIs, and data access are handled appropriately, and whether there are any obvious security risks or abnormal behaviors.
Because of these checks, the full review process may take a few days.
When will I receive the review result?
We review submitted Apps throughout the week, but we generally send review results and detailed feedback in batches on Mondays and Thursdays.
This means that in some cases, an App may already have completed review before the final result email is sent.
Does the same timeline apply to resubmissions?
Yes.
If your App did not pass the previous review, you can address the feedback and resubmit it. The resubmission will enter a new review cycle and will also be processed within 5 business days.
How can I reduce back-and-forth and improve review efficiency?
To reduce repeated submissions and unnecessary review cycles, we strongly recommend completing a full round of self-testing before submitting your App.
In particular, please:
- Make sure all issues mentioned in the previous Review Feedback have been fully addressed
- Test the complete core user flow, not just whether the App can launch
- If your App supports Cloud Agent / Local Agent, test it in the relevant environment before submission
- Verify that Tools / Executa, dependencies, permissions, and external APIs are working correctly
- Check that your Marketplace listing, including logo, screenshots, and description, is complete
- If there are still known bugs or unfinished core features, we recommend fixing and testing them before submitting the next version
Each resubmission enters a new review cycle, so submitting a relatively complete and well-tested version is generally more efficient than frequently submitting incomplete updates.
Review volume
We’ve recently had a higher volume of App submissions, so some feedback may take slightly longer than usual to be sent.
If your App has been submitted for more than 5 business days and you still haven’t received any review result or feedback, feel free to contact us on the Forum and include:
- App Name
- App ID
- Version
We’ll be happy to help check the current review status.
Thank you for your patience, and thank you to all Builders who continue building and improving Apps on Anna
