[android-developers] Broken market update process

The new update process, where the apk and product details tabs operate independently, is horrible. We updated our app by uploading a new apk, clicking "activate" and then clicking "save". We then updated the product details and clicked "save". Now the market shows all the details for the update, but it still is delivering the previous apk version! Our publisher console shows the new .apk version, but the market page shows the old version.

This is ridiculous. How long should we expect to wait for .apk updates to appear in the market? Moreover, why is the publisher console set up in such a disjointed manner that updated information about the app appears on a different schedule from the update itself? It's been at least half an hour now that our app's market page describes version 1.2 of the app and the apk file is still at 1.1. Our customers are going to (rightfully) feel that someone screwed something up. Unfortunately, they are going to assume it is us.

The release of .apk updates and marketing material updates need to be synchronized. Please fix this!
