“build disappears”

Hello, I received a Guideline 1.2 compliance notice for my app OMG: Video Chat (Apple ID: 6756574665) on March 7, 2026, with a 14-day deadline to submit a compliant update. The issues raised in the notice — random matching and anonymous chat — were already resolved in the current live version of the app prior to receiving the notice. Specifically: Random matching has been completely removed. Users browse profiles and choose who to connect with. All calls require mutual consent via Accept/Decline. Sign in with Apple is mandatory — no anonymous or guest access exists. Selfie-based age verification is active. Full moderation system is in place: content filtering, user reporting, blocking, and 24/7 monitoring. I responded to the notice on March 7 with a detailed explanation, screen recording, and screenshots demonstrating the current app flow. I also submitted a compliant build and requested an expedited review. As of today (March 12), I have received no acknowledgment, no feedback, and the build

Hi all, Like others my app submission has been stuck in “waiting for review” for weeks. I know initial app reviews take longer than updates, but this has been delayed far too long and makes me concerned about repeating the process in the future. I submitted this app for review back on Feb 10. It was initially rejected for a minor issue, which I resolved and resubmitted the same day. After that, the build remained in “Waiting for Review” for about two weeks with no further communication. At that point I canceled the submission and resubmitted the build, thinking it may have been stuck in the queue (I now know not to do this next time). Unfortunately the new submission has also been waiting for review for another 9 days now with no messages or updates. I’ve contacted app review support as well (case ID- 102826632729). I understand review times can vary, but delays like this make it difficult for developers to plan launches or push updates when the review process is the only path to distributin

Hi, writing a database app for storing equipment details. Spent the day doing minor changes and tidying with many backups made, and always re-building to check its all working. Everything ok but then next build looses all data, what's the best thing to check to see if the data is still there, any help would be fantastic.

Hi everyone, I recently submitted the Family Controls request form and received the following request IDs: 429MKWT5VX
 KNL6T2DC7A
 N62KV78DKC However, I haven’t received any updates yet and I’m not sure how these requests are tracked or when we’ll know if they’re approved. Our app is almost ready to launch and this capability is critical for us. Both the main app and an extension depend on Family Controls, so we’re currently blocked from moving forward. I also raised a support ticket with Apple Developer Support (Case ID: 102838723073), but I haven’t received any response there either. To be honest, this is becoming really stressful. Months of work are stuck at the final step and we’re unable to move forward without this approval. This isn’t just a small personal project and we’re building a production app and were hoping to launch very soon. If anyone has been through this process or has any guidance on the approval timeline, or if someone from Apple could help look into these request IDs, it would

Hello everyone, I want to check whether other developers are seeing similar App Review delays recently. Timeline: Feb 3, 2026: Submitted initial build Feb 3 - Mar 7, 2026: Stayed in Waiting for Review (never entered active review) Mar 7, 2026: Cancelled and resubmitted a new build As of now: New build is still in Waiting for Review I contacted Developer Support; they said system status appears normal and advised me to continue waiting. I’m not asking for expedited approval here. I just want to understand: Are others seeing the same pattern in this period? Is this likely a broader queue slowdown rather than a submission-specific issue? Any recent data points are appreciated. Thanks.
