How long does it takes until my app gets published?

[sharonlewis]

I had developed a simple game for android, and just published on google play.
Problem is that I can't find it anywhere, I had search for the name of the app, and it doesn't give me any result, how much time does it take until my app is visible?
Where or how can I find it?

It seems pretty random, though I give it anywhere from a couple hours to a day.

I'm sure by now it has shown up on Google Play, but just for anyone looking here, the direct URL for your app will be something like this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ur.app.package

In my experience, that link will be active long before you will be able to find your app in search or even before it will show up in the "Other Apps From This Developer" links.
