I am surprised to be facing same issue. At start of iTunesConnect, review times were typically 2-8 days. But in the past few years, my dozen apps and updates have sailed through consistently with a day (or less) waiting for review and a day (or less, sometimes hours, sometimes minutes!) in review. Yet now I'm in my second week of waiting. Started with initial rejection for issues which were flatly incorrect, I replied, tweaked the app to make it even further beyond reproach, resubmitted, and now...nothing.

Solved problem. Notifications > App Status Reports > Receive an email if your app status changes did allow me to choose "World", and nothing else. Didn't realize that. Chose "World" and now it's functioning.
Dear jasonag,
I did just what you recommended, pulling the app version from my personal account at AppStoreConnect. I also found one more bug along the way which probably would have given me trouble too. With the main obstacle removed by removing the app from my personal account, the submission of the same app in my new organization account worked.
Thanks!

Good question, pardon my lack of clarity. I build the product for archive in Xcode. Xcode Organizer window shows me the build. I select the build and click Distribute App button. I go through the process preparing for upload, and halfway through, I get this message, see screenshot. When I spoke to Apple Developer Help, they said it means my app is the same as something already uploaded to AppStoreConnect, and of course that's true because the version I uploaded with my new organization developer account is virtually the same as the version I worked on for months in my personal developer account. This very day I uploaded the same app back to my personal developer account to let others look at it on Test Flight. It successfully uploaded via the same process in Organizer and Distribute App, without being flagged for being similar to anyone else's content.
This worked for me easier than expected, did not have to submit a binary and then reject it. Here's what I did. My incorrectly numbered upcoming version was 2.2, and I wanted to renumber it 3.0.
iOS app upper left, saw "2.2 Prepare for submission", chose this to highlight it
scrolled down and found Version field with 2.2 populating it, simply changed it to 3.0. Wow, simple!
clicked blue "Save" button top right
refreshed page, now under iOS app upper left it says "3.0 Prepare for submission"
Yay.

Yes, the answer is here! It is the "<" symbol for me. I wrote "ß-hCG < 3,000", and I suspected it might be the beta curly character. But no, Yokemura above was right, it was the less-than symbol "<". My goodness, bad design by Apple. I don't mind that for whatever reason certain characters cannot be accepted. But please tell me which is the offending character!-JS

Thanks for your reply. And thanks for telling me exactly how to be more specific.I'm not looking at my keychain right now.

The colum headers are NAME, TYPE, PLATFORM, CREATED BY, and EXPIRATION. In the order of these headers, here's what I see.Joshua Steinberg, iOS Distribution, iOS, Joshua Steinberg, 2020/9/27Joshua Steinberg, iOS Development, iOS, Joshua Steinberg, 2020/9/27Joshua Steinberg (joshmac) [device name of my MacBookPro], Development, All, Joshua Steinberg, 2020/9/30Joshua Steinberg, Distribution, iOS, Joshua Steinberg, 2020/12/30In my Keychain Access under My Certificates, I seeApple Distribution: Joshua Steinberg (my team ID), exp 12/30/2020Apple Development: Joshua Steinberg (a different ID, probably mine since I didn't use team ID in early days), exp 9/30/2020iPhone Developer: Joshua Steinberg (the ID noted in 2nd line), exp 9/27/2020iPhone Distribution: Joshua Steinberg (my team ID), exp 9/27/2020Hopefully this helps you and others advise me.Thanks,-- Josh
