Had the same issue with an Electron app of mine, published on the AppStore with 10k users or so.

It's been more than a year that I'm in contact with Google/Widevine, waiting for my license.

This is a nightmare. It's such an obvious gatekeeping mechanism.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully something comes out of this which can improve the process for all of us. :(
