Summary:
When submitting an app update to the App Store, after it is approved it goes through a "Processing for App Store" phase. This used to be pretty quick, only a few minutes or an hour at most. Now it is common for it take hours, sometimes days, for the app update to show up for users.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Submit an app update.
2. Wait a few days for it to be approved.
3. Watch the status change to "Processing for App Store".
4. Wait a long time and notice that it's still not available.

Expected Results:
Regardless of how long an app is in review, when it is actually approved, it should show up in the App Store immediately or within minutes.

Actual Results:
Often takes 8 hours or longer for an app to be live in the store after being approved.
