483 views Asked by At

Its been three weeks my app (GSuite spreadsheet add-on) is in "Pending Review" state after unpublishing it through chrome web store developer dashboard. I also don't know why it is visible in marketplace as well when I already requested Google for unpublishing this item.

Query: Its already three weeks gone, any idea how much max time Google takes to unpublish an GSuite marketplace app from Chrome web store developer dashboard?

Here is a related SO post about the unpublished apps in web store.

See this full answer from the post:

if app is unpublished then is will not be available for download, will not appear in in-store search results, and simply cannot be installed from store. No details information from Google Play can be received even with direct URL to the application. Unpublishing however does not affect existing installations (so apps will not be automatically removed from any device that got it installed already). Also existing users still would be able to update if they are on older version.

And you cannot have another application with the same package name, no matter what.

EDIT

Please note that you unpublish (and this means just what name says, nothing more) not just APK - you hide all related stuff (app's page in Google Play etc). To end user it looks like the app is gone. For you - it is still in your console, you can edit description, images, see comments, stats or update APKs etc., but unless you publish it again, nobody will see these changes.
