Here we go again... What I wrote to them: "We've been in the "under review" status for Apple News publisher for over a year. Who do I need to contact to move this process forward?" Their response: "Hello Logan,  Thank you for contacting us. The review for your channel is currently in progress and requires additional time.  As soon as the review is complete, you will receive an email notification. Thank you for your continued patience as we work to complete your channel review as quickly as possible. For your reference, the case number for this correspondence is . Best regards, Vera Apple Inc.  "

Yep, still waiting... My company and I have been waiting for almost a year to get approved now. I'm not sure what it'll take to get the approvals moving but I've tried contacting multiple lines of business and even relied on paid support to try and get an answer. They still respond back that I have to be "patient".

Apologies for the slow response!Nope still "Under Review" for over 8 months. How does anyone become a publisher at this rate? All they have to do is check 3 articles and make sure the images will work on the Apple News Publisher app... To respond to @SARELLA91, yeah all I get is canned responses that don't actually tell me anything about the status other than "wait patiently".I sent another email today so we'll see where it goes but, at this rate, I don't even try to post newer stories anymore. It's not worth the effort if my company's account is never actually going to be reviewed.

Yeah, the turnaround time on these approvals are unacceptable. I'm still under review two weeks after posting this... However, I did reach out to Apple support to get a follow up and this is what they came back with:"Hello Logan,My name is Lucretia and I’m a Senior Advisor taking over the case from Ruby.We understand you are looking forward to your news channel being available on Apple News. We did check and it appears it is still in review.Our news channels go through extensive review to ensure it meets all of our quality guidelines in an effort to provide the best content we can to our readers.We sincerely apologize for the delay. I will gladly take any feedback regarding this procedure via email reply at this time and forward it to the appropriate Apple team, if you would like. Apple’s guidelines and procedures change frequently due to feedback from publishers like yourself."I sent a response to this on the 14th but I still haven't gotten a reply in almost 10 days. Still looking for some form of support or feedback from Apple.
