Dear App Review Team, We would like to kindly follow up regarding our app submission, which has been in “Waiting for Review” status since Apr 10, 2026, with no progress update to date. We have also submitted 3 expedited review requests, plus 2 support requests email but unfortunately have not received any response yet. This prolonged delay is now significantly impacting our project timeline and scheduled deployment commitments. We understand review times can vary, but it has now been over a month without movement or communication. App ID: 6752937247

Hello all, i need some advice because i dont know what to do. After having work for months, i submited my dating app, which is a dating app for a niche. And then i discovered the 4.3 b rejection.. I made some adjustment, in order insist on the differences from my app and the others. I sibmitted it on last sunday, waitined for 5 days, and i didnt receive any update from my new submission neither to my reply to Apple reviewer refusal. I then decided to cancel the subisssion, make some more adjustement, and I resubmitted the app yesterday. But in the meantime, I read gain the refusal email and i saw this sentence : We encourage you to reconsider the app concept and submit a new app that provides a unique experience not already found on the App Store. Does this include new version submission ? Or Does this mean to delete my app and create a new one ? i didn't ask for appeal at the moment.

I have two auto-renewable subscriptions (RedBird.Monthly and RedBird.yearly) that have been stuck in "Waiting for Review" status through 4 separate app version submissions and approvals. Each time I submit a new app version, the app itself gets approved and released, but the subscriptions remain in "Waiting for Review" and are never reviewed alongside it. I have: Added screenshots to both subscriptions under Review Information Filled in all required localization fields Submitted the app with a build attached each time Tried clicking "Submit for Review" on each subscription individually The subscriptions are part of a subscription group called "RedBird Premium." The app is a Capacitor-based iOS app (com.redbird.wellness). Has anyone experienced this? Is there a specific step required to explicitly link subscriptions to an app version submission in the current App Store Connect UI? The "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section described in Apple's documentation does not appear on my version page. Any help appreciated.

Hello Apple Review Team, Our app (Apple ID: 6758392381) has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for the past 6 days. We have already contacted Apple Support and also submitted an Expedited Review Request, but unfortunately we haven’t received any response or update yet. This delay is affecting our release timeline, and we would really appreciate any guidance regarding the current status of the review. Could you please let us know: If any additional information or documentation is required from our side? If there is any issue or blocker causing the delay? We are ready to provide any details or make any necessary changes immediately. Thank you.

Hello App Review team, My app, Mira Photos, has been in “Waiting for Review” for over 7 days with no movement and no messages in Resolution Center. There are no visible issues in App Store Connect, no requests for additional information, and no indication that action is needed from me. I also submitted a support request but have not yet received a response. App details: App name: Mira Photos Apple ID / App ID: 6757626396 Version: 0.1.2 Build: 17 Current status: Waiting for Review Current submission date: May 9 at 8:17 AM Support case ID: 20000115082482 Recent submission history: Apr 29 at 8:33 PM — iOS 0.1.1 initial review completed May 4 at 7:51 PM — iOS 0.1.2 submitted, remained Waiting for Review for a week, tried resubmitting May 9 at 8:17 AM — iOS 0.1.2 build 17 submitted and remains Waiting for Review Could someone from App Review please check whether this submission is blocked or requires any action on my side, or confirm whether it is still pending assignment to a reviewer? I understand review times can vary, but since the current submission has been waiting for more than a week without any visible update, I wanted to ask whether something may be stuck. Thank you for your help.

Hello Apple Developer community, I am seeking help with a recurring App Store rejection under Guideline 2.1(a) - Performance - App Completeness. My app crashes on launch specifically on iOS 26.4.2 and I have confirmed this is a platform-level bug in React Native — not an issue with my application code. BACKGROUND My app is Highway Exit Food Finder — a navigation utility built with Expo SDK 55 / React Native 0.83. It has been in review for several weeks and has been rejected multiple times due to a crash on launch on iPad Air M3 and iPhone 17 Pro Max running iOS 26.4.2. THE CRASH Every crash log shows the same signature: Exception: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Location: ObjCTurboModule::performVoidMethodInvocation Thread: com.meta.react.turbomodulemanager.queue The crash occurs during TurboModule initialization — BEFORE any JavaScript code runs. This means no application-level code change can fix it. CONFIRMED PLATFORM BUG This crash is documented in: github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/54859 github.com/expo/expo/issues/44680 These issues confirm that React Native's New Architecture TurboModule system throws an NSException during async void method invocation on iOS 26 that cannot be caught, causing SIGABRT. WHAT I HAVE TRIED Removed expo-notifications (possible crash source) Removed react-native-maps Simplified all screens to static components Set newArchEnabled: false in app.json Upgraded to Expo SDK 55 Submitted 17+ builds attempting to fix this Despite all these changes the crash signature remains identical across all builds because the crash happens at the platform level. MY QUESTIONS Has anyone successfully gotten a React Native Expo app approved on App Store Review while running iOS 26.4.2 on review devices? Is there a known working configuration for Expo SDK 55 that avoids the TurboModule crash on iOS 26? Has anyone successfully appealed a 2.1(a) rejection caused by a platform bug rather than app code? Can Apple review devices be updated to use a stable iOS version for reviewing React Native apps while the iOS 26 compatibility issues are resolved? DEVICE AND BUILD INFO Review device: iPad Air 11-inch M3 OS: iPadOS 26.4.2 Framework: Expo SDK 55 / React Native 0.83 Build tool: EAS Build All crash logs reference the identical TurboModule crash signature Any help or guidance from the community or Apple engineers who monitor these forums would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I'm having trouble installing my app via TestFlight. Current Status: The app build has been successfully uploaded and processed in App Store Connect. The build status currently shows "Ready to Submit" All export compliance questionnaires have been completed. The Issue: Even though everything looks ready on the dashboard, I cannot install the app on my phone via TestFlight. • (Specifically, the app is visible but throws an error when I click install-‘this app doesn’t exist or not available’). What I've Tried: • Checked that the testing group is properly linked to the build. • Re-signed into the TestFlight app on my device. Could App Store Connect Team Adviser help me with this issue please as soon as possible!

Hello, I honestly don’t understand what’s going on with my app review. My app was already approved before, and I submitted a new build on April 7th with some new features and important bug fixes. Since then, it has been stuck on “Waiting for Review” with absolutely no update. It’s been 40 days now, which is honestly unacceptable. I even submitted an expedited review request, but that didn’t help either. The worst part is that this build contains bug fixes for users, and the delay is directly affecting the app experience. Waiting this long without any response or progress is really frustrating. Can someone from Apple please look into this and help resolve it ASAP? Thank you.

Hi, I've been developing and releasing apps on app store for a while now. Around 11 days ago, I sent my latest (3rd) application to review, soon enough got a rejection message with guidelines. It was normal for me because it happens on all applications, same day I addressed all issues. Uploaded a new build, wrote in review notes that what I did to fix these guideline issues. However since that time my app is stuck on "Waiting for Review" I would take that as normal but there is one strange point, when I go to "Subscription" page, my 3 subscriptions are stuck "In Review" for over 9 days. Is it because I tried to release the app directly with a subscription method included? I don't know. I can not remove the subscription now to update the app without any pro features either. Contacted Apple Developer Support, however no answers from there also. Did anyone else had a problem like this, and how did you reach to a fix? Thank you

Hello, My app (Apple ID: 6768121501) has been in "Waiting for Review" status long time with no progress and no messages in the Resolution Center. Could someone from the App Review team please check whether there is any issue with this submission, or confirm that it is simply pending reviewer assignment? Thank you.

I was invited to join development team. so after receiving mail to my account I clicked accept invitation button in email. but the page of appstoreconnect shows that link is expired or invalid. however admin Is inviting me 2 min ago. how can I solve this problem? what should I do?

Hello, I am unable to use TestFlight for any app (existing or new), while production uploads work normally. All TestFlight actions fail with: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING There are no pending agreements in App Store Connect. This is an older account that previously used TestFlight successfully. This appears to be a missing or detached TestFlight Beta contract on Apple’s backend. Could this be manually reattached or re-provisioned? This is time-sensitive, as I need a TestFlight external testers link to submit an app for an upcoming hackathon. Apple Support case ID (for reference): 102817552619 Thank you.

Hello, I am unable to install my app from TestFlight even though the build appears valid and is in internal beta testing. The build was uploaded successfully to App Store Connect and shows as Testing / Internal Testing. The build metadata looks valid: processingState: VALID internalBuildState: IN_BETA_TESTING qcState: BETA_INTERNAL_TESTING usesNonExemptEncryption: false minOsVersion: 15.0 deviceFamilies: IPHONE supportedArchitectures: arm64 However, TestFlight installation fails, and the App Store Connect API returns: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING Beta contract is missing for the app. My App Store Connect agreements are all active. I checked Business > Agreements and both Paid Apps Agreement and Free Apps Agreement are Active. Bank accounts, tax forms, and compliance also appear Active. This also happens with a newly created app and a fresh build, so it looks like the TestFlight beta contract may be missing or detached on Apple’s backend. Has anyone seen this before, or is there a way to force App Store Connect to refresh the TestFlight beta contract state?

Hello, I'm posting again — and unfortunately, I already know how this thread is going to go. My app (ID: 6756186616) has now been stuck in "In Review" for 80 days. To save everyone time, here is the reply I expect to receive within a day or two, copy-pasted from the response on my last thread: "Thank you for your post. We're investigating and The App Review team will contact you in App Store Connect to provide further assistance. If you continue to experience issues during review, please contact us." Nothing actually happened after that reply last time. No follow-up in App Store Connect. No further communication. Just silence. When I escalated to Developer Support (case #20000111565861), I was told explicitly that Developer Support has no way to reach the App Review team and no authority to intervene on submissions stuck in review. So Developer Support points back to App Review, and the standard forum reply points back to "contact us" — which loops back to Developer Support. This is a closed loop that doesn't actually resolve anything for an independent developer. Concrete questions: Is there any real escalation path that doesn't end in an automated reply? Why has a submission been "In Review" for 80 days with zero communication? What should a solo developer do when both Developer Support and the forum response are dead ends? I'm not asking for special treatment. I'm asking for the review to actually move — in either direction. A rejection with feedback would be infinitely more useful than 80 days of silence. Thank you.

My app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for a very long time and I’m honestly getting really frustrated. I already fixed all previous issues and submitted everything properly, but there has been no update at all. This delay is seriously affecting my launch plans and business operations. I understand reviews can take time, but the waiting period feels unusually long compared to my previous submissions. Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is there anything I can do to speed up the review process or get an update from Apple? I’d really appreciate any advice or shared experiences. Thank you.

Hello Apple Developer Relations / App Review Team, Our first app release has been pending review significantly longer than expected, and we urgently need assistance. We had a coordinated marketing launch scheduled yesterday based on the standard review timelines communicated in App Store Connect. The delay is now impacting launch commitments, marketing campaigns, and user onboarding plans. Current status: First app submission Build status: waiting for review No messages or requests received in Resolution Center App is fully tested and production ready We respectfully request assistance or escalation for an expedited review if possible. We understand review times can vary, but we would sincerely appreciate any help or visibility into the current delay. App name: LiveVibe App ID: 6767975462 Thank you very much for your time and support.

Hi, My external TestFlight build has been waiting for review for over 2 days with no update or response.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for guidance from developers who have dealt with App Review for health-related apps. I have an app that presents users with a questionnaire using images and multiple-choice answers. Based on the responses, the app categorizes the user into a general diabetes risk category. A few important points about the app: The app does NOT provide a diagnosis. The app clearly states that it is informational/advisory only. We added disclaimers throughout the app. We included references to published research papers the methodology is based on. The app does not connect to medical devices or Apple Health. No treatment or medication recommendations are provided. However, the app keeps getting rejected during App Review. Apple is asking us to provide documentation/approval from health regulatory authorities for every country where the app will be distributed. This is where I’m confused: Is this actually required for apps like this? Are reviewers classifying this as a regulated medical device? How are similar diabetes risk / health risk apps on the App Store handling this? Is there a recommended way to position the app as wellness/educational instead of diagnostic? We’ve already tried: strengthening disclaimers, clarifying that it is not a diagnosis, removing strong medical claims, submitting from both personal and organization accounts. Still receiving the same type of rejection. Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has successfully navigated this type of review process. Thanks!

Hello, I submitted an AI-powered fashion try-on app to the App Store, but it was rejected under Guideline 1.1 - Safety - Objectionable Content. I would appreciate any advice on how to improve the app for review. The app creates a virtual model based on the user’s own face photo and body information, then allows the user to simulate outfit try-ons and coordinate styling. Apple pointed out the following: “Specifically, simulating outfit try-ons and styling.” In the app, we clearly warn users to use only their own photos. We also prohibit the use of photos of other people, celebrities, minors, or inappropriate images. The app is designed to use only the front-facing camera, and our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy explain how photos are used. However, it seems that Apple may be treating AI-based, person-based outfit try-on and styling itself as a potential Guideline 1.1 risk. My questions are: Are AI-powered, person-based virtual try-on features currently reviewed very strictly under App Store Guideline 1.1? Are warnings and “own photo only” rules generally not enough? Would adding image moderation, a reporting feature, and human review improve the chances of approval? For the initial release, would it be more realistic to remove person-based try-on features and limit the app to digital closet management and AI outfit suggestions? What kind of explanation should be included in the Review Notes? This app is not intended for sexual image editing or inappropriate person manipulation. It is designed only to help users choose outfits for themselves. If anyone has experience with App Review for AI image generation apps, virtual try-on apps, or apps that handle person images, I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you.
