We've a game that the first version has published 45 days again with a quick review and direct approve. After that initial version, we've made some big updates and additions as well as some bug fixes to get ready to officially publish our game, and market it. However, with my first update, it waited in the review queue for 2 weeks, which I then cancelled, make some bug fixes, and sent to review again since I heard that this can fix the process sometimes. Even after that, we've been waiting for 3 weeks and still no updates. I've also applied for Expedited Review since this is getting urgent after waiting more than a month. I hope someone from Apple Support team will see this and help me with the issue.

Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with my app "FindUWay" (iOS), and I’m trying to understand if this is related to EU Digital Services Act (DSA) compliance. Current situation: App is approved and published on the App Store All agreements, tax forms (including W-8BEN), and banking info are completed and active App is set to be available in 175 countries, including Malta Issue: The app is NOT available in Malta and shows "App Not Available" on multiple iPhones and Apple IDs. Important detail: In App Store Connect, the only pending item is: Digital Services Act (DSA) compliance → Status: "In Review" since April 5th What I’ve observed: The app works and appears normally in some regions In Malta (EU), it does not open or install properly This seems to affect multiple devices (including iPhone 17 Pro Max) Questions: Is DSA compliance review blocking app availability in EU countries? Is it expected for the app to be unavailable while DSA is still "In Review"? Is there anything else I need to configure or submit? Has anyone experienced delays with DSA review recently? This is impacting my app launch, so any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Case no: 102870409704 If 90% of apps are reviewed within 24 hours, why is my app taking over 2 weeks and still not in the review process? As I submitted my app on April 6th, the review time is very long though

Our app PrepAiro: Crack UPSC IAS 2026 (Account: 6741750813) has been caught in a rejection/resubmission loop since April 12, now over 10 days. Timeline: April 12: First rejection received Cycles 1–6: Each rejection addressed per reviewer feedback, resubmitted promptly April 18: Status moved to "Waiting for Review" , no movement since We submitted an expedited review request through Apple Support due to the urgency. This release contains critical bug fixes actively impacting users, but there has been no response or update. We understand review timelines can vary, but 6 full cycles over 10 days with no resolution, and a 6-day stall after the last submission, is unusual. Each resubmission addressed the specific feedback provided, yet the cycle continues. Has anyone experienced similar extended holds recently? And is there any additional channel or escalation path beyond the expedited review request to get clarity on what's causing this? Any guidance from Apple or fellow developers would be appreciated.

Hello, this is my app (App ID: 6743190232, Team ID: ALMEYPZQ7A). Since submitting for review, the status has been pending for several days. I requested an expedite, but I have received no feedback. I contacted Support (Case No.: 102878799248) but have not yet received a response, and I am unable to proceed with important events. I would appreciate it if you could review this as soon as possible.

Our application （Apple ID：6743150642）has been stuck in the Waiting for Review status for more than 7 days. We submitted an expedited review request 22 hours ago, but have not yet received a response. We are currently under significant time pressure, as our company’s app is required to launch before the Labor Day holiday. We have recently submitted a new version (1.2.0) and provided the institutional account as requested by the review team. We sincerely hope the expedited review request can help facilitate the process and move the review forward as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention and assistance.

Hello, I would like to check the status of my app, as it has been stuck in review for a while (ID: 6746933136). Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar or can offer some guidance, as I'm running out of ideas. I've been an Apple Developer for about 7 months. This is my first app submission, I submitted it on March 24, 2026, and it has been sitting at "Waiting for Review" ever since. 32 days now with no movement. What I've already checked and confirmed: All agreements, tax, and banking information are fully completed in App Store Connect No issues visible in the AppStore Connect DSA trader verification has been approved (I'm based in EU) I contacted Developer Support and they confirmed they can see my submission and that it is indeed "Waiting for Review" since March 24th An expedited review request was submitted and accepted by the support team, who told me the review should begin "shortly" - that was several weeks ago Additional context: During the 7 months I've been a developer, none of my TestFlight external review requests ever went through either, which makes me wonder if there is something on the account level causing holds I have not made any changes to the binary since submitting, to protect my position in the queue There are no rejection notices, no metadata issues, and no communication from the review team I understand new developer accounts take longer and I've been patient, but 32 days with an accepted expedited request and still no movement feels beyond normal variance. I'm genuinely unsure if there is something silently blocking my account that I'm not aware of. Has anyone experienced this, particularly as a new developer? Any advice on further escalation would be really appreciated. Thank you

Dear Sir/Madam, our app, ID 6737797012, currently has a serious issue in the version 2.0.9 on the App Store, which causes users to lose hardware connection information during use, making it unusable. We have urgently fixed this issue and submitted it,version 2.1.0 for review on Apr 23. We have also made corrections based on the review's guidance regarding data collection and usage and have resubmitted the latest version 2.1.2 for review on Apr 25. The current status is still under review. Please help expedite the process. Appreciate your kindly help! Thank you very much. Best Regards,

Hello, my App (id: 1121788143) has stuck in review process for a while, I have tried resubmit it for few times, please check the status of my App, thank you

Hello, I'm posting again because my situation has not improved despite previous outreach. My app (ID: 6756186616, iOS 1.3.0) was submitted on March 15, 2026 — over 6 weeks ago. After about 4 weeks in "Waiting for Review," it moved to "In Review" on April 14, 2026. It has now been stuck in "In Review" for two full weeks with no further updates. I opened a Developer Support case (#20000111565861) earlier in the process and was told my submission was being investigated, but I have not received any follow-up communication since. Given Apple's stated review timelines, a 6+ week review with two weeks of silence during the active In Review phase is a serious blocker for an independent developer. I would really appreciate: Any clarity on whether something specific in my submission is causing this delay Whether there is an escalation path beyond Developer Support Whether anyone else has experienced similar timelines recently and how they were resolved Thank you for your time.

My app was submitted for review in test flight almost 5 weeks ago and there is no update till now. Similar thing happened when I was trying to release the regular version (not TestFlight) and I had to wait for 3+ weeks. Is this the norm now? I have expedited and called support. They give generic answers that they are expediting and there is nothing else to do. Is there anything that I am missing here to get my app review done?

Hi there everyone, I submitted an app nearly a month and a half ago now and it took a whole month for it to be reviewed. Once reviewed, I thought the process would then speed up and I would have continuous contact with the reviewer reviewing my app. However, it has now been over 2 weeks since I resubmitted my app. Is this normal? Does anybody know how long this may take? Please let me know.

Our app Heat Game (iOS, version 1.15.0) has been in the "In Review" status since April 18th. We have received no feedback, rejections, or communication from the App Review team for over 10 days, despite a "last touched" update on April 22nd. Submission Timeline: Submitted: April 17, 2026 In Review since: April 18, 2026 Last Activity: April 22, 2026 Current State: IN_REVIEW (No metadata issues or rejections flagged) Why this is critical: This is not a routine feature update. Version 1.15.0 contains critical fixes for broken payment flows currently live in the production version. These bugs are actively preventing users from completing purchases, leading to: Direct Revenue Loss: Significant daily financial impact on our operations. Steps taken so far: We have already reached out via the App Store Connect Resolution Center, but have not received a substantive response. Request to Community/Apple: Has anyone successfully escalated a review specifically for time-sensitive, revenue-blocking bugs? Beyond the Resolution Center, are there documented channels or specific keywords that help flag a case for "Expedited Review" when it involves significant business impact? We appreciate any guidance or assistance the community or Apple staff can provide.
