Hello, Our app Hook — Smart Message Assistant has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since June 9, 2026 — 8 days after resubmission addressing all issues raised under Guideline 3.1.2(c) (Subscriptions). Timeline: • June 8: Rejected under Guideline 3.1.2(c) • June 9: Resubmitted with all issues resolved June 9 onwards: Stuck in “Waiting for Review” with no movement We have submitted 3 expedited review requests, all approved. We contacted Developer Support via email and through App Store Connect messages with no response. We are a small team with an active marketing campaign dependent on this launch. Every day of delay has direct business impact. Could the App Review team please investigate this submission? Thank you, Eden

Hello. We have recently submitted for review an app, which has in it Shopify Customer Account API, which allows users to login using a OTP (currently a 6 digit code) received in their email. The login itself uses OAuth and that API provides access to customer data like orders and addresses. The app was not approved and the reasons cited by the reviewer were: The app uses a third-party login service, but does not appear to offer as an equivalent login option another login service with all of the following features: The login option limits data collection to the user’s name and email address. The login option allows users to keep their email address private from all parties as part of setting up their account. The login option does not collect interactions with the app for advertising purposes without consent. Note that Sign in with Apple is a login service that meets all the requirements specified in guideline 4.8. I would like to receive a confirmation that Shopify's new login system is considered a third party login and that it requires the provision of Apple Login as an alternative. The issue with that is that Shopify Customer Account login differs from other 3rd party providers, where you can use them to authenticate, but store data in your own platform afterwards. In Shopify's case, the data that the app needs resides in their platform. We have currently disabled the Shopify login and we could provide Sign in with Apple, if that's needed for compliance, but it would serve no purpose as it wouldn't provide anything more to the users, than our current guest account. Looking forward for a clarification on that issue.

Hello, I'm a first time developer and both of my submissions for NexFi - Portfolio Tracker have been suck in Waiting for Review for an extended time. TestFlight: My first build was submitted on Feb 15th (25+ days) and still Waiting for Review Production/Distribution: Submitted March 2nd (10 days) and still Waiting for Review. It is a finance category app (portfolio tracker) that requires no login, no account creation, and no server side user data so I figured it should be a relatively quick process as there is a minimal privacy footprint. App Name: NexFi - Portfolio Tracker Platform: iOS App ID: 6759226354

Hello App Review Team, My app "Astrosel" (iOS, version 1.0, build 1.0.0 (16)) has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 6 days with no movement. Timeline: On June 10, 2026, I received a message asking me to resubmit the app once any necessary adjustments were made. I made the requested adjustments and resubmitted the same day, on June 10, 2026 at 1:02 PM. Submission ID: 80fda72e-b7bc-4436-9185-497a26ddec28 Since then, the status has remained "Waiting for Review" and has not moved to "In Review." There is no open issue in the Resolution Center and no reply option available on the previous message thread. All metadata, screenshots, and agreements are complete. Could you please check whether this submission is properly queued, or if it is stuck due to a system issue? Any guidance or an estimated timeline would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I submitted my review on May 28 and fixed my last comment requesting an expired user login. I shared with them and responded to their email on June 8, its still waiting in queue for review. is it same for everyone but Apple says they respond in 24 to 48 hours. I am worried. Thanks Vinny

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. My app was already under review, and on June 10 I updated the metadata as requested and replied through the Resolution Center. Since then, the app has remained in “Waiting for Review” for 6 days with no status changes. I’ve already contacted Developer Support and submitted a follow-up request, but haven’t received any updates. Is this normal, or could the review have become stuck in the queue after a metadata update? I’d really appreciate any advice or if Apple Staff could help look into whether this behavior is expected.ID:6774445096 Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice regarding my app review. My app was previously removed from sale by Apple because it had not been updated for a long time. I have now completely updated it, fixed compatibility issues, and submitted a new version. The submission has been in "Waiting for Review" since June 9, and nothing has changed since then. There are no messages in the Resolution Center and no requests for additional information. I understand that apps returning to the App Store may require a full review, but waiting for more than a week without any progress seems unusual. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Is there anything I can do to have the review started, or should I simply continue waiting? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi App Review Team, My app Scora is live on the App Store, but both of my auto-renewable subscriptions have been stuck in “In Review” for several weeks. They can’t be purchased in production, and while they are In Review I can’t edit, remove, or re-attach them in App Store Connect. Submitting a new app version since then did not change anything. Could you please either confirm that the subscriptions are correctly attached to my current version submission and will be reviewed together, or reset them to “Ready to Submit” so I can re-attach and resubmit them? Details: App: Scora (App ID: 6737562614) scora.basic_monthly (6756670651) scora.basic_yearly (6756670145) I also didnt get a response to my email request for nearly two weeks. Thats why i reach out here. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to get two auto-renewable subscriptions reviewed for my iOS app. Both subscriptions are in the same subscription group. The app binary already includes the subscription screen and the products are visible in the app. The subscription screen shows the subscription title, duration, price, Privacy Policy link, and Terms of Use (EULA) link. However, App Review returned the subscription products with this message: “Guideline 2.1(b) - Performance - App Completeness We have returned the In-App Purchase products as the required binary was not submitted. Once you have resolved all the outstanding issues that were identified and are ready to submit the binary, resubmit the In-App Purchase products with the binary.” What confuses me is that the app binary was already submitted, and all current app versions include these two subscriptions. I also cannot find a separate place on the app version page to attach these subscriptions again. After updating the subscription metadata, I resubmitted the two subscriptions directly from App Store Connect. They are now in “Waiting for Review” status. My questions are: Is it valid to resubmit returned auto-renewable subscriptions directly from the subscription page after the app binary has already been approved or submitted? If App Review says “required binary was not submitted,” where exactly should I attach auto-renewable subscriptions to an app version in the current App Store Connect UI? If the subscriptions are already included in the app binary and are now Waiting for Review, is there anything else I need to do? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. I submitted a new consumable In-App Purchase along with an app update. The app update itself was approved and released, but the new IAP has remained in “In Review” for over 8 days now. A few details: The app update was approved without issues. This is a new consumable IAP, but not my first IAP overall. I already have other approved consumable IAPs in the app. There are no messages in the Resolution Center and the status is still “In Review”. The IAP is tied to a World Cup event feature, and the tournament has already started, so the delay is becoming impactful. Has anyone seen an IAP remain in review this long while the associated app version was already approved? Did it eventually get approved, or did you need to contact App Review to move things forward? Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hi, does anyone else have issue with App review submissions currently? My first submissions were always reviewed in under 24 hours - max I waited was 48. But the current submission has been in "waiting for review" for 2 weeks. No response from support whatsoever and phone support can't offer any help either. This is starting to get really frustrating, is this a general issue right now?

Alright, so I'm gonna send an email out to Eddy, Matt and Susan. If anyone wants to be copied, paste your email address here. This is just beyond belief. It is unfortunate we have to let Apple leadership know this service is broken and most probably call out people (sadly). This sort of delay is severely severed my relationship with customers and users. I plan to send the email out over the week-end

Hello, I'm hoping for advice or help from Apple staff, as my submission has been stuck for an unusually long time. Apple ID : 6757189002 Submission ID: 19cab929-810b-4a15-acfa-4b28ae84ad41 Version / Build: 1.3.0 (4) Date submitted: May 28, 2026 Current status: "Waiting for Review" for 18+ days — it has never moved to "In Review" What I've already done: We contacted Apple Support to inquire about the review status (Case ID: 102907643142); they replied that they could not specify a timeframe for the review and that no action was required on our part. Submitted an expedited review request over 72 hours ago; I have received no response and the status has not changed. Verified my account side: agreements/contracts are signed, tax and banking info is complete, and export compliance is answered. I do not see any visible issue in App Store Connect. No rejection, no "In Review", no visible error. This update is important to us: it adds iOS 15 support that users on iOS 15 devices have requested (they currently cannot use the app), and it is tied to a time-sensitive operational event. The prolonged delay is directly impacting our users and business. Could someone please check whether there is a hidden submission or account issue, or whether this is a known review queue delay? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there, Is there a possibility my app is permanently in "Waiting for Review" and isn't in a queue for review? I have reached out a couple of times to both appstore and developer support and get a boilerplate response. I'm advised to be patient - but 24 days seems extreme does it not? my ref is 102871294260 Not sure what to do and am concerned that my submission is lost somehow in the process. Any advice appreciated. Schlumpy888

Submitted Thursday, June 12 at 5:53pm ET. It is now Monday, June 15 at 5pm ET. Status has not moved from "Waiting for Review." No reviewer has opened the app. I'm a small indie developer — this is my second app (GoShed is live). I've been through the rejection cycle before so I know the process. The submission is clean: guest-browse architecture, Stripe for payments, PostHog analytics, reviewer credentials included, notes written specifically to preempt common flags. Apple's own page currently reads "90% of submissions reviewed in less than 24 hours." I'm at 96. I submitted a support email Sunday night and am within the 2-business-day response window. Not panicking. Just flagging for anyone else in the queue — and genuinely curious if others are seeing delays this week specifically.

Hello everyone, The App Store review process has been an absolute nightmare lately. My app has been stuck in review for way longer than it should be. No clear communication, no updates, and the support team hasn't been able to give me anything useful. The impact on my side: • Launch date completely blown. • No actionable response from Apple support. • Status page shows nothing out of the ordinary This level of opacity is genuinely unacceptable, especially for indie developers who have real deadlines to meet. Apple needs to do much better here. Anyone else dealing with this right now? Is collective feedback to Apple even worth trying at this point?

What is the recourse to getting your application reviewed in the 'promised' 48 hour period I am at over 14 days and still waiting. I have tried the application review speed up email but that seems to go into the either.. Is there a trick or tickbox I missed? app: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/group-ride-io/id6756597994

Hello, My app (Apple ID: 6760485927) has been in "Waiting for Review" status since June 8, 2026. That is now more than 7 days with no progress and no messages in the Resolution Center. The account is in good standing, all agreements and banking details are active, and there does not appear to be any action required on my side. Could someone from the App Review team confirm whether there is an issue with this submission, or let me know if it is simply pending reviewer assignment? Thank you!

Our app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for about six full days since submission, and it has not yet entered the “In Review” stage. We would appreciate any update from the App Review team and hope the app can move into the review process as soon as possible. Apple ID: 6761810265
