Apple Store App "Ready for Sale" but not available for sale | Apple Store App padding on "Ready for Sale"

After overcoming numerous challenges in the Apple Store's app submission process, I was thrilled to see "Ready for Sale" finally appear on my page.

This usually indicates that the app will be available on the Apple Store within about 24 hours. However, sometimes a problem arises: despite the app being marked as "Ready for Sale," it can't be found in the store, and clicking on the provided link might even result in a "This app is not available for your country" message.

This issue has been previously raised on Apple's official developer forum [1], showing that it's not an isolated incident. After extensive research, I found a solution in a Stack Overflow post [2].

An effective method to resolve this issue is to visit the "Pricing and Availability" page and reset the price. Even if you've set the price before, it's advisable to do it again. After making the changes, wait for about 5 to 60 minutes, and you should see your app successfully listed on the Apple Store.
