a) no it will not show in production SCN, it stays in beta until beta gets refreshed again or shut down with the go-live
b) eventually it takes forever for an approval, except a global moderator has some mercy. There is also a moderation test in beta, moderators are assigned to the primary tags and can only see and moderate those which are posted with these tags. If your blog has a tag which is not assigned to a moderator or the assigned moderator does not participate in the test then it can only be released from global moderators.
Repost it with SAP Shopper Experience for Android
and I will try to release it
