How long does it take for the approval of an Microsoft Edge extension?

Question

We submitted a Microsoft Edge extension over three weeks ago to the request form: https://aka.ms/extension-request. We did not receive any feedback yet and when submitting the extension package in the developer dashboard, we receive the following error

Package acceptance validation error: com.microsoft.edge.extension is a reserved extension type. Your app does not have permission to use this extension type. To request permission, please use our extension submission form: https://aka.ms/extension-request

Does anybody have experience how long it takes to have your Edge extension approved?

(When trying to address this to support, they redirect us to a paid Edge support.)

Answer 1

It looks like Microsoft does not currently approve any new extensions. There are only 77 extensions for today.
