Like some others ([1], [2]), the new snap for FMD Server (fmd-server) that we (the FMD maintainers, Nulide and I) submitted on 2026-01-03 is still stuck in “Manual Review”. That’s 3 weeks ago.
Is there any update, or any information on why it is taking so long?
I saw that you @verterok re-triggered the automatic review yesterday (thank you!). Unfortunately it came back to a Manual Review Requested. So while I assume that you/the Snap Store team is already aware, I still wanted to post here to:
- Ask for an update on the situation.
- Ask if there is anything I can do on my side?
- Confirm that I haven’t lost interest and would still like to get this snap published.

Also, there are 3 “revisions” so far. I guess that’s because we uploaded a single version (0.13.0) three times (amd64, arm64, armhf), and that shows up as separate “revisions”?
The snapcraft.yml is on GitLab. This is my first time publishing a snap, so feedback is welcome:
https://gitlab.com/fmd-foss/fmd-server/-/blob/master/snapcraft.yaml
The revisions for my new snap now passed manual review, as seen on https://dashboard.snapcraft.io/snaps/fmd-server/feedback/. Thanks!
However, on https://snapcraft.io/fmd-server/settings the Snap is blocked as private because:
Your Snap is in the queue for manual review. When approved, you will receive an email, and you will be able to change the visibility of your Snap.
Is that a separate review queue for new snaps? Different from the queue for the revisions?
Is there any update? I still cannot make the visibility of our snap “fmd-server” public, because of this message:
Your Snap is in the queue for manual review. When approved, you will receive an email, and you will be able to change the visibility of your Snap.
What queue is this in? Does Canonical require more information?
It has now been 2 months since we first submitted FMD Server to the Snap Store, and it is still not live 
I have filled out the “Contact us” form at the bottom of https://snapcraft.io, asking for help with this issue. Let’s see if Canonical reponds there. 
Hi there, apologies for the delayed response. You should now be able to make the snap public. Thanks!
