When making LearnTheWords[1] I had to wait 6 weeks for approval from Google. They weren't happy with how I documented what this testing process was like. I had to wait 3 rounds of 2 weeks between submissions, writing ever more kafkaesque descriptions of the insights i gleaned from the definitely-not-paid-for test users that i'd required.

I wasn't expecting it to be easier to launch on iOS than Android, but here we are.

Their testing is done by the user. Testing your own software is so strange for them that they don't underestand your docs. /s
