December Code Freeze Announcement

DECEMBER CODE FREEZE & STAFFING UPDATE

Hi Developers,

With the end-of-year holidays approaching, here are a few important reminders for our community.

During the holidays, staffing will be limited so response times may be slower than usual. Our community and support teams will be on call, however engineering support will be reduced from December 18th through January 2nd. Only critical, platform-breaking bugs will be addressed during this time.

 

Store Submissions & Approval Timelines

Please note that reviews will be slower than usual due to limited staffing during the holidays. To ensure your app updates, new submissions, or asset refreshes are reviewed before the end of the year, submit as soon as possible. 

The submission and review process will resume as normal on January 5, 2026.

 

How to Get Support

Please use the designated support channels for all issues. Refrain from direct messaging or tagging Meta employees or mentors to ensure efficient support. 

 

Holiday Engagement Resource

During the holiday season, users are spending more time and money across Meta Horizon. To help you capture more engagement, we put together ways to make the most of the holiday trends, including a checklist of tips and best practices.

 

Thank you all for a great year, and we wish you a joyful holiday season! See you in 2026!
