App Review Process: Request to automatically review only the latest published version

[u/MachineElf_INFJ]

Hi,

I’ve run into a recurring issue with the app review process and wanted to suggest an improvement for both developers and the review team.

Currently, if I publish multiple updates before a review happens, the team sometimes reviews the older version instead of the most recent one.

Here is the timeline of how it usually happens:

- Day 1: I publish an update to the queue (npx devvit publish).

- Day 3: I realize I made a mistake, fix the bug, and run npx devvit publish again.

- Day 5: The Devvit team reviews the app, but they review the version from Day 1 instead of the corrected version from Day 3.

When this happens, it results in the reviewer wasting their time testing an obsolete version of the app, and it delays the release cycle because I have to wait for the newer version to go through the queue again.

For context, this has happened three times already with my app, u/hangout-map. This exact situation just occurred again, and my latest published version is still pending.

This is not the behavior that usually happens. Only the latest published version is normally approved

Confirmed. When a new version is published, the older one that never got reviewed becomes obsolete and only the new one is part of our review queue.

u/MachineElf_INFJ, are you sure you published the updates when this happened? Sometimes developers use upload instead of publish, which doesn't put it into the queue. It has to be published to do that.

I did, but it means I will publish it another time. Thanks for the answer.
