How long does it take to upload a new version?

Is it correct that every time I want to release a new version of my app, I have to create a new submission?

 

I cannot change and reuse an existing submission?

 

How long does this new submission process take?

 

Yesterday I submitted my second submission, and it's still not complete. It seems to take like three days like the first submission, and I see this as highly problematic. What if users don't want to wait 3 days and thus rather download the portable version from GitHub? What if it has a critical bug, the users have to wait three days for a fix?

 

This is my app:

  • The certification usually completes within few hours, but sometimes it may take longer up to three business days. By default, the submission will be published as soon as it passes certification, unless the developer chooses to place a hold on publishing the submission until a certain date, or until they manually indicate that it should be published. For new apps and updates which include changes to the app's packages, the publishing process will be completed within 24 hours. For updates that only change options such as Store listing details, but don't change the app's packages, the publishing process will take less than one hour. Complete guide on the app certification process along with updating and managing submissions and publishing can be found here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/the-app-certification-process. For additional assistance with product submission, certification, publishing or Partner Center navigation questions or issues, developers can contact Developer Support here: http://aka.ms/storesupport . Hope this helps.
