Dear App Review Team, Our app – Apple ID 6757906986 has been stuck in the “Waiting for Review” status for over 39 days (since February 5, 2026). This seriously hinders our arrangement for broadcasting province football matches. Normally, reviews begin within a few days, but in our case, it seems unusually delayed. Could you please clarify: • Is there a specific reason for this extended hold? • Is any action required from our side? • When can we expect the review to proceed? Thank you very much for your time and assistance

Hello Apple Developer Community and App Review Team, I am reaching out here because I am completely stuck and have not received a response from the standard support channels. On March 4th, I requested and was successfully granted an Expedited Review for a critical bug fix for two of my apps ("Who Wants to Be AI Professor?" and "The Fed Chair"). However, it has been 12 days and both apps are still stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status. Suspecting a system glitch or "ghosting" issue, I contacted App Store Connect support on March 10th and received Case ID: 102840953234. The automated email stated I would receive a reply within 2 business days, but that time has long passed with no response. I kindly ask if an App Review Team member or Apple Staff could look into this Case ID and check if my submissions are stuck in a technical loop. I have refrained from canceling and resubmitting to avoid further delays, but I am currently completely blocked. Any help to push these manually to the review desk would be immensely appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone, We recently submitted an update for our existing iOS application and just wanted to verify that everything looks correct on our side in App Store Connect. The previous version of the app was approved and is currently live on the App Store. This new submission is a small update that improves some UI elements and adds minor usability improvements for our customers. At the moment the build is still waiting for review, and since we are coordinating this update with our client rollout schedule, we wanted to confirm that there are no issues with the submission metadata or the selected build. If anyone from the App Review team happens to see this and can confirm that the submission looks complete, we would really appreciate it. App ID: 6759172913 Thank you very much for your time and support. Kind regards, José Rodríguez

Hi, My app wich shipping ID is e18f049f-bff9-4993-97b4-742c6ba63d0e is waiting for review since last month. if there is any place that I can submit a ticket or ask more properly please let me know. best, David Silva

Really, for how long will apps continue to get stuck in the 'review queue'? This is demoralizing and bad for organizations and developers behind these projects. Our app has been stuck in the 'waiting for review' zone for over 3 weeks+ now, and despite several emails, nothing has been done. No feedback whatsoever. Are we going to get a reply? Is this just an Apple thing, like work culture?

Hello everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with the review process for my app on App Store Connect. My app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for over 30 days, and the review process has not started yet. Initially, I submitted the build on February 9, but the status remained “Waiting for Review” for a long time and never moved to “In Review.” Because of this, I canceled the submission and resubmitted the build on February 17. However, even after resubmitting, the app is still stuck in “Waiting for Review.” I also submitted a request for an expedited review, but unfortunately I have not received any response regarding that request either. Since the app status is still “Waiting for Review,” the Resolution Center option is not available yet, so I cannot contact the App Review team directly from there. I also attempted to contact Apple Developer Support but have not received a response yet. Has anyone experienced a similar situation where the app remained in “Waiting for Review” for this long? Any guidance or suggestions on how to move the review process forward would be greatly appreciated. App details: App ID: id6755089083 First Submission Date: February 9 Resubmission Date: February 17 Submission ID: bbad192f-768f-40f6-bcc3-47f30b5ecb6d Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone, My app has been stuck on "In Review" for about 3 days now. Before that, it also spent around 3 days in "Waiting for Review," so the total time has been close to 6 days. From what I’ve seen in the past, it usually takes 2–3 days to move from "Waiting for Review" to "In Review," and then only a few hours to get a decision once the review actually starts. However, this time it seems different. Based on my server/Firebase logs, it doesn’t look like the reviewer has opened the app yet or created a test account, so it seems like the review may not have actually started. This is my first app submission, so I’m not sure if that might affect the timeline. Has anyone experienced something similar recently? Is this normal, or is there something I should do (for example, contacting App Review or requesting an expedited review)? Any advice would be appreciated.

My Team (ID: 3TMU292P34) has been unable to notarize any macOS software. Every submission is immediately rejected with statusCode 7000: "Team is not yet configured for notarization." This is not a code-signing or technical issue: Developer ID Application certificate is valid (expires 2027-02-02) Code signing and hardened runtime are correctly configured Uploads succeed, but Apple's backend rejects them instantly Both Apple ID auth and App Store Connect API Key auth produce identical results A minimal "hello world" test app also fails — confirming this is account-level, not app-level Submission IDs: 71753924-276a-4b77-be77-4355ff21ab72, 53a990af-45e1-4164-bfa4-2b60e09a3a1d I have contacted Developer Programs Support multiple times with no resolution. Could someone help escalate this?

Hello, I submitted my app for review for the first time about two weeks ago and it is still stuck in "Waiting for Review" with no update. I haven't received any feedback yet and I'm not sure if this kind of delay is normal or if something might be wrong. Has anyone experienced something similar? What did you do in this situation? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I submitted my app USDT Miner – Rig Manager to App Store Connect on February 2, and it has been in “Waiting for Review” status since then. I understand that review times can vary, but it has now been several days without any status change or feedback. This is my first submission for this app, and there are no resolution center messages or rejection notices so far. I wanted to ask: Is this delay normal at the moment? Are there any known review backlogs or factors that could cause an extended “Waiting for Review” status? Is there anything recommended to do from the developer side, or should I simply continue waiting? Any insights from Apple staff or fellow developers who’ve experienced similar delays would be appreciated. Thank you.

Our app Miiro (App ID: 6759159052) was rejected for Guideline 3.1.2(c) on March 13. We fixed the pricing hierarchy on the paywall (yearly price now displayed as primary, monthly equivalent as subordinate) and resubmitted the same day at 2:25 PM CET. We also replied in the Resolution Center explaining the fix. The build moved to "In Review" shortly after but has been stuck there for over 29 hours with no status change. We requested an expedited review on March 14. This is our first app submission. We are a small two-person team and the app is ready for launch. Any help moving this forward would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m using StoreKit 2 with .storeButton(.visible, for: .policies) inside my SubscriptionStoreView. The buttons appear correctly, but when tapped, a sheet opens that says “Terms of Service Unavailable” or “Something went wrong. Try again.” I’ve already added the required URLs (Privacy Policy and Terms of Use) in App Store Connect under App Information, but they still don’t show in the sheet. Does anyone know how this is supposed to work? • Are the URLs pulled directly from App Store Connect? • Do they only appear correctly in production? • Or do we need to manually set them in code for testing/TestFlight? Any insight would be greatly appreciated — just want to make sure everything is in place before submitting for review. Thanks!

My app (Markets: Global Trading 24/7, App ID: 6756673679) has been in "In Review" status since March 10, 2026 at 9:38 AM ET. Prior to that, it was in "Waiting for Review" for approximately 4-5 days after submission on March 5. It appears that the demo account we had provided was used to log into the app shortly after the status changed to "In Review" on March 10, but no additional activity since then. I submitted a support ticket via App Store Connect on March 12 and received an automated acknowledgment but no further response. Is this delay expected, or is there something I should do?

One app submitted Feb 14th, one app submitted Feb 25th. Both apps are showing "Waiting for review". Neither has been rejected, not have any action taken place. I have one previous app published (Submitted June 30th, approved 1 July), but this is the first try for both of these apps. I put in a support ticket asking status of the first app but no response. Ca n anyone here confirm that I've done the submission right and am just waiting on Apple based on the screen shot attached? For anyone from apple that wants to look into it, the app is: SKU: EX1749925971937 Apple ID: 6747297536

My app was submitted on February 14, 2026, and the Apple ID is 6758344632. It has now been over a month, but the app is still in Waiting for Review status. Could you please let me know when the review is expected to be processed?

Hello everyone, I am desperately seeking guidance. My app has been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status for over 17 days (since at least Feb 13). It hasn't even entered the "In Review" stage. I completely understand that review times can vary, but what's concerning is that we seem to be caught in a system loop. We have proactively contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times over the past few weeks. Specifically, we have open cases (Case ID: 102820493078 and Case ID: 102820491288) with messages sent on: Feb 13 Feb 18 Feb 23 Feb 24/25 Unfortunately, we have only received generic automated responses, and the status remains firmly stuck at "Waiting for Review". At this point, we are extremely worried that our binary might be caught in a system glitch or ghosted in the queue. Could any Apple Staff here kindly look into these Case IDs to see if there is a technical issue preventing our app from entering the review queue? Has any other developer experienced a similar >17 days wait time just to enter the queue recently? Any help to untangle this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have app update that’s been waiting for review since 4th February. I’ve raised a case, posted to the case a few times, been told twice by support that I ‘haven’t been forgotten’ and yet nothing changes and no useful communication. It’s an update to an existing published app. I have other apps waiting for review and TestFlight approval for almost as long. Now approaching 10% of my year’s developer subscription has already been spent just waiting. What‘s the answer here? I am reticent to reject and resubmit As there’s no evidence that that would make any difference. None of the app updates I’ve submitted for other apps after this one have been reviewed either.

Relatively new to development for Apple, first submission followed the general guidance of timeframes for review (around 48 hrs but probably a little more) , but WOW have had a follow up release sitting there for almost a week and no movement - got too the point that had to pull it and replace it to fix some critical issues being reported through the "other app distribution platform" and now same problem with the revised submission. Not only that have submitted two non-related development support enquiries (you know where they say they will get back to you in 24 hrs) - umm 4 days and no response. Should we be all submitting for expedited reviews - has Apple sacked 3/4 of it review team ? What is going on with Apple Support and App Review timelines??

I’ve been developing apps for 8 years. On the tenth update of my latest app, I got yet another new rejection reason. I co-founded an app called Yuna AI with my wife, who is a Registered Dietitian and a member of the CDO. When trying to release version 1.0.10, I was told I can’t publish it under my name as a sole proprietor. I’m honestly starting to lose faith in the review process. My previous submission was rejected for not properly disclosing in-app purchases, even though my app doesn’t have any in-app purchases. Rejection reason "The app must be published under a seller and company name that is associated with the organization or company providing the services. In this case, the app must be published under a seller name and company name that reflects the Yuna AI name. The guideline 5.1.1(ix) requirements give users confidence that apps operating in highly regulated fields or that require sensitive user information are qualified to provide these services and will responsibly manage their data." Do i really have to pay to incorporate a company to put my app under and a sole proprietorship isn't enough? Im going to be moving soon and probably not best for me to incorporate now in Canada. does that mean i don't get to update my app anymore?

My app has been under review for longer than usual, and I would like to check if anyone else is experiencing the same situation. Submitted Date: Tuesday at 11:37 AM Apple ID: 6499260089 It has been more than 3 days now and the status is still “Waiting for Review” / “In Review.”
