it has me puzzled.. but thank you for all your comments.
1) my "hello world" apps are published near immediately so i doubt it's a backlog in the system
2) it says it's available to 1332 devices, i'm not asking for anything special other than it must be able to sms which i think knocks out a small number of devices
3) no difference in store options, no copy-protection
4) only difference in the versions is that i stripped out all the libraries i was using (s, stringutils2, phone 1.91, dialogs 2.80, http 1.20, httputils2, core 2.0)
I was wondering if there was an issue in the package name. i had read that there were some things you could not use in the package name (eg start with a number) but i can't find that page again. I'm attaching the manifest below.
PS: using ie9 as someone said browser may make a difference
PS: am using b4a 2.00, so i'll upgrade to 2.02 in case that makes a difference.
