It takes up to 24 hours before it's available in each and every (country wise) App Store. If you have waited more than that, and still have problems, contact Apple.

I thought I will post my answer as I recently got into a similar issue (as of September 2019). The App is free for all users in all countries.

For me, after I received a confirmation email from Apple saying that my app is ready for sale (the email did not mention any 24 hours waiting period), I could not find my App in the App Store.

The link to view the App in the App Store in the iTunes Connect (under the App Information section at the bottom page) was broken.

After reading your comments in this thread, I went to the Pricing and Availability section of the App and edited the pricing plan again to be 0 GBP and start date Today and finish date No Finish Date.

Then, I unchecked the countries the App is available on and checked them all again and hit Save.

The App became immediately available in the App store. The link in the App information section was directing me to the App Store and no longer broken.

I hope this will help anyone who is having similar issues lately (getting a confirmation email that the App is ready for sale but cannot find it in the App Store).

I had "ready for sale" status for 1 week and app still wasn't visible in store. I "changed" the pricing (from free to free starting today) like KlimczakM suggested in one of comments above. Also, I changed promotional text and saved changes. After less than half of hour app was in the store.

After 48 hours of the still not being updated I removed the app from sale on Pricing and Availability.

Then I waited 1 hour.

Then I ticked All Territories Selected again.

After the app came available for download again the version number was updated.

You may also need to provide your contact info, bank info, and tax info in this page so it will allow your last release on App Store:

I published an update to my app yesterday noon(I have selected Manual release instead of Automatic) and Today early morning App store review was completed and after I release the build manually, the App shows Ready for sale in iTunesConect immediately. After 45mins I got the update on the App store.

We published it today after having 'Release this version'. It took 15 minutes to show on the App Store.

This is due to App Store will sync the data across servers.

You have to go to the "Pricing" menu. Even if the availability date is in the past, sometimes you have to set it again for today's date. Apple doesn't tell you to do this, but I found that the app goes live after resetting the dates again, especially if there's been app rejections in the past. I guess it messes up with the dates. Looks like sometimes if you do nothing and just follow the instructions, the app will never go live.

After your app status changes to 'Ready for Sale' you will get official mail from Apple. The mail itself states that it might take 24 hours before your App is available on AppStore. If it takes more than days then contact Apple.

Refer below screenshot.
