There is no need to worry if the application adheres to the terms and standards of Google developers
And now the application is under review, just wait and the response will come with acceptance and publication, or a response to problems in your application and what must be modified
No need to worry about status being Draft after you making sure that you completed all the required information. It is all about waiting game. Sometimes it takes weeks if they are short of reviewers. I just published mine right now, it says Draft. I have to give it sometime until it changes to Live.
No need to worry application will be publish when it meet all google policy and verified by google after it shown on play store.
Before covid 2020 it takes maximum 48 hours after covid google take 7 days time to verify it.

I have completed all the requirements and Published the App. But it seems to be in the reviewed state as you can see in the Picture attached.
In how much time will my App approved or rejected by the Google Play Team?
The Picture is attached here.
Update status
schedule
In review
Google Team Normally takes up to 14 days or less to review your app.
In the screenshot attached it is saying that you have completed all the steps now you just have to wait for google to review your app for their policy.
If your app follows the google play policy you will receive the Approved Message otherwise they will let you know about the problem in your app.
Just stay Patient.
I published my app in console. Everything went successful (listing, signing apk..). Finally app status came to PRODUCTION. According to google, if app status is production, it means that users can download the app from play store. But if i click view on play store, it shows URL not found. It's already more than 10 hours. Still i get the same message. Any help ?

As per your case and the screenshot provided, your app still "In review".
Excerpt from the above URL:
Note: For certain developer accounts, we’ll take more time to
thoroughly review your app to help better protect users. This may
result in review times of up to seven days or longer in exceptional
cases. You’ll receive a notification on your app's Dashboard about how
long this should take.
So for now, you can only wait.
It will show after 5-7 days. Due to corona it's getting late in few days your app will start showing on google play store
I had published one app "GDC" and this is published properly but from last few days this is removed from play store due to permission not described properly. Now I have removed all the permissions from my app but at the time of submitting update google play console is asking "to check at least on checkbox related to permission and core functionality". Please help me to know what I need to do for submitting my new update.
Please find the attached image
You need to submit your app and fill the form stating that you don't need any permission. This can be done using the checkboxes for providing appropriate response. Also there is a text box where you can give your explanation in 500 characters that why your app should not be blocked by google.
Similar thing happened with my app 5-6 days ago and i did the same thing.
PS:- remove any alpha or beta apk too, else google will again block your apk.
Upon learning that the v1 of my app was rejected for metadata issues, I had updated the metadata and also submitted a new version of the app via release management. This was completed by hitting the "Resubmit App" button.
However, after doing both, I still see the banner staying up on the top of the Play Console:
Additionally, towards the bottom, the "Resubmit App" button is greyed out with the "Processing Update" arrow frozen:
Have I missed a step, or is this the normal process with the Google Play Console?
Thanks!
If your app was rejected and you changed it, then it will need to be re-reviewed. It looks like the re-review is waiting to complete. If you wait it should update.
I've resubmitted game again and notice that status still 'App rejected'.
New information appears beside your app icon "Processing update".
It means that Google Play is processing review your app again and it's expected to have 'App rejected' status at the end of their review.
FYI: I'm waiting for reviewing my app 12 hours. So don't worry, it's expected. Keeps you updated.
UPDATE 1.
So now I have published game fully.
It took ~24 hours from "Pending publication" to "Rejected" status
It took ~24 hours after fix apk from "Rejected" to "Published" status
So it can take more that 2-3 hours as it's wrote in the documentations.
Keep eyes on the current status of your publication.
This is not an issue with the APK, this is issue with "description" and title you have put in google play. make sure that it should violate its policy....
Google play developer policy
Make sure that you have no active APKs in the Google Play Store that violate the policies. If you made a release that adheres to the policies, confirm that it is available as an active APK across all channels(Production, Beta, Alpha etc.) and de-activate the APKs that do not comply with the policies.
My app is removed from Google Play store and got the reason as:
After review, "My App", has
been suspended and removed from Google Play as a policy strike because
it violates the impersonation policy.
Is there any other way to check whether the app is obeying all Google's policies (like impersonation) before release. So that the app can be saved from suspension. And more than 3 suspension may cause account termination. So please tell me how can I check the app before release?
I think no one had faced such problem??
For me, I totally agree with the author of this post. Really Nice suggestions.
This is not a proper solution for my question. But this is what we can do to sort out this issue from my experience.
I just published another app in the Google Play Store and got rejected. But I didn't published it, it was put for alpha test. This time I got the message that my app is rejected because it violates the impersonation policy, not suspended. And this time there is an option to correct the APK and resubmit the app. Last time when the app was rejected the app got suspended and I need to change the apps package name. This time the fault was in my side and the part of joy was that in the mail from play store it mentioned that one of the image that I call from JSON to show in the app used image of superman.This was the mail:
Read through the Unauthorized Use of Copyrighted Content article for more details and examples. Your app contain images of Superman in its activity.
I am very much glad that play store mentioned the real cause of violation this time. Not a simple recorded message.
When we are publishing the app for alpha testing then we get a chance to correct the error and resubmit the apk again. So everyone please try to upload your apk in alpha testing if the app is accepted there then you can transfer it to beta or directly to publish.
Please respond to this answer if anyone have any better or worst experience.
Thanks
i had the same problem a few days ago. My app was suspended due to violation of impersonation policy. I got the fixed e-mail and I wondered what things got wrong. I got a try, and sent an official signed letter which mentioned that I had the authority and right to use the company's logo - name and assets for which I made the app. Here you can find the form: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/troubleshooter/2993242?visit_id=1-636145321498752102-1429228295&rd=1 My appeal was accepted and my app was reinsteted. From now on, I'll upload first to alpha testing, although I cannot configure yet, if the rejected uploads at alpha testing are calculated against my developer acount cretibility, or because it's alpha testing it has no effect on me. Anyway, the problem remains the same: Many of us don't know the reason what part of our app violated the policy.
