iTunes Connect: Pending An Apple Release [closed]

Question

My app has gone from In Review (Yellow) to Pending An Apple Release (red). I couldn't find anything on this combo in the docs. I set my app release date for immediately and its price tier is free.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Since others brought this up, my app is also targeting 7.0

EDIT: App has been approved without me doing anything. Side note it's not appearing in search but the direct link works.

Per https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ChangingAppStatus.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011225-CH30-SW1

The "pending an Apple Release" means:

Apple is holding your app version until the corresponding Apple iOS or OS version is released to the public. If you think an app should be released on existing iOS or OS versions, review the deployment target set in your app binary. If you rebuild your app binary with a different deployment target, reject the binary for this version and submit the new version.

Sounds like you need to review the deployment target and if you change it, reject the binary and re-submit. If you need help with rejecting the binary, please let me know.

Hope this helps!
