Hello, I'm reaching out because I haven't received any response from App Review for about a week, and I'm hoping someone can help me check on the status of my submission. App: Apple ID 6782845619, version 1.2 Submission ID: 2722eda8-9429-44d2-9971-092f4ed28ffb Rejection: Guideline 4.3(a) — Design (Spam) I have already taken the corrective steps suggested in the rejection message (I withdrew the duplicate prototype app from review and removed it from all 175 storefronts, so there is no overlap anymore), and I replied to App Review in App Store Connect with this information. However, it has now been about a week with no reply. I understand the review team is very busy, and I truly appreciate their time. I'm not trying to dispute the review process itself — I would simply be grateful if someone could check whether my reply has been received and is being looked at, or advise me on the best way to get a status update. Thank you very much for your help.

Hello, I'm experiencing a serious issue with my Apple Developer account. Every app I submit stays in "Waiting for Review" for more than a month. This is not happening with just one app—it affects every app I submit. Here are the details: Every submission remains in Waiting for Review for over a month. The status never changes to In Review. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support. I also submitted an Expedited Review request, but the apps are still waiting. The apps fully comply with the App Store Review Guidelines and are complete and functional. At this point, I'm trying to understand whether there could be an issue with my developer account or if there is another reason causing all of my submissions to remain stuck in the queue. Has anyone experienced the same issue recently? If an Apple engineer sees this post, I would greatly appreciate any guidance or if my account could be checked. Thank you.

Hi all, I resubmitted an iOS update (build 1.1 (6)) on July 24, 2026 after fixing the issue behind a previous rejection. It has now been in “Waiting for Review” for 9 days and has never moved to “In Review”. Timeline: • Rejected over AppTrackingTransparency (a dormant ad SDK). SDK and tracking usage strings removed, App Privacy set to “Data Not Used to Track You”. • July 24, 2026: resubmitted • August 2, 2026: still “Waiting for Review” • Contacted Developer Support — no substantive reply so far. I have deliberately not cancelled and resubmitted, since that sends you to the back of the queue. Are others seeing similar wait times right now? I’m mainly trying to work out whether this is a general backlog, or whether resubmissions after a privacy-related rejection get routed differently. Thanks

it has been 10 days since i submitted my app: ProteinQuest - Protein Tracker for review and i mentioned that it is an important update for me due to revenue being involved. Yet despite this i haven't received a response on my latest update review status. I beg, someone please tell me what i have done wrong.

Apple ID: 6790244829 Submitted: July 24, 2026 Current status: In Review (since submission, 9+ days) This is a version update (1.2) that introduces the AdMob SDK for the first time, along with updated App Privacy / IDFA labels and a rewarded ad flow. There are no messages in Resolution Center and no outstanding requests from the review team — nothing is pending on my side. I submitted an expedited review request and contacted support twice, with no response. Could someone from App Review please take a look and advise? Thank you.

Hello, My app update has been in "Waiting for Review" for over 140 hours and has never moved to "In Review". There are no messages in the Resolution Center and no requests for additional information. Details: App: Suila — Video Editor Apple ID: 6781609534 Platform: iOS Version: 1.6.0 (update — 1.5.4 is live and was reviewed without issue) Build: 3 Submitted: July 27, 2026 Current status: Waiting for Review Developer Support case number: 20000125955478 This is an update to an existing, previously approved app. Agreements, Tax and Banking are all active, and all version metadata, export compliance and age rating information is complete. This is not a new developer account, and nothing has changed on my side since submission. Could someone confirm whether the submission is proceeding normally, or whether any action is required from me? Thank you and best regards, Hanpo

My app has now been waiting for review for 6 days, even though the submission email stated that the review would typically take up to 2 business days. App ID: 6793848581 I completely understand that App Review needs to be thorough, especially for submissions from individual developers or newly created accounts. User safety should always come first. However, our app is being submitted by a U.S. incorporated company with a team behind it. We have employees whose work depends on this launch, and every additional day of delay has a real financial impact. It makes me wonder whether there is any prioritization in the review process based on developer history or company status. Our application is ready to launch, but until it is approved we cannot publish it or generate any revenue. Meanwhile, the costs continue every day: server infrastructure, developer salaries, marketing campaigns that have to be postponed, and other operating expenses. We continue paying these expenses while having no opportunity to launch the product. I know the App Review team is busy, and I appreciate the work they do. But the growing number of developers reporting review times of several weeks is becoming very concerning. If someone from the Apple App Review team is reading this, I would sincerely appreciate it if you could review App ID 6793848581 as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I've been an Apple developer since the App Store opened. I don't develop for a living, I do this because I love it. That's it. That has always been enough. And right now, for the first time, it isn't. Waiting more than a month for a review, with no communication and no working way to reach anyone, does something to you. You stop wanting to open Xcode. You stop having ideas, because what's the point of an idea that sits in a queue for six weeks? The whole loop that makes this fun — build it, ship it, hear from users — is broken in the middle. So: thanks to the App Review team for that. You've taken the one thing that kept me building for this platform and made it feel like a waste of time. I know Apple sees review delays as a throughput problem. It isn't only that. It's a passion problem. The developers who stay through every policy change and every SDK rewrite are the ones who stay for love of the craft — and love is exactly the thing this process is grinding down. I hope someone at Apple reads this and understands what they're losing.

Dear Review Team and fellow developers Our app has not been reviewed for more than 7 days despite requesting an expedite Is this normal? Has this happened to us too? I would like to ask the review team to help us with this. Best regards

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue with App Review. We submitted our app for review on July 24, and its status is still Waiting for Review. Since it had been several days without any progress, we opened a support ticket on July 30, but we haven't received a response yet. Has anyone else experienced unusually long review times recently? If so, how long did it take before your app moved into review or you received a response from Apple Support? Thank you in advance for sharing your experience.

Submitted my app (universal iOS app with two auto-renewable subscriptions attached, first submission) for review on July 24 at 10:50 PM. It's now been 8 days and the version has never left "Ready for Review" in App Store Connect. No reviewer assigned, no message, nothing new in the History log since the submission itself. I opened a support case with Apple Developer Support (App Review Status topic) on July 29. Got the automated acknowledgment, no human reply since. Seeing several other threads posted here in just the last day describing the exact same thing (stuck in Ready for Review / Waiting for Review, first-time submissions, some with subscriptions attached too). Wondering if this is a wider backlog right now rather than something specific to any one submission. Has anyone actually gotten a reviewer assigned after being stuck like this, or found anything that helped? Thanks.

I'm looking for advice because I've been facing the same issue with every app submission on my Apple Developer account. Every app I submit remains in "Waiting for Review" for more than one month. The status never changes to "In Review", regardless of the app. Here's what I've already done: Contacted Apple Developer Support. Submitted an Expedited Review request. Waited well beyond the normal review timeframe. Verified that my apps are complete, functional, and comply with the App Store Review Guidelines. The problem is not limited to a single app. It affects every new submission and every app update I send for review. At this point, I'm wondering if there could be an issue with my developer account that is preventing my submissions from entering the review process. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? If so, how was it resolved? If an Apple engineer or App Review team member sees this post, I would be very grateful if someone could check whether there is an issue with my developer account or advise me on what I should do next. Thank you very much for your time and any assistance.

I sincerely hope someone from Apple sees this. Every update for my apps takes at least 4–5 days to be reviewed, even when the update contains important fixes. This has become a constant source of stress and makes it extremely difficult to support my users properly. I fully understand the need for App Review, but such long review times for every update are very discouraging. I hope Apple can improve the review process or provide faster reviews for critical updates. Thank you.

An unexpected error was encountered when submitting for review. If the issue persists please contact us I can no longer submit iOS app for review. Always show this error. I am using Safari latest version - 16.4 MacOS Version - Ventura 13.3.1 Xcode - 14.2 Appreciate any leads. Thank You!

8 days stuck on "Waiting For Review" - was submitted on 23/07/26. A combined 4 hours on hold awaiting to hear an actual human voice on the phone to no avail. My entire business is now on hold due to this. Anybody got any help??

We submitted our iOS app (Apple ID 6504717345) on 2026-07-24. The submission confirmation email says: On average, 50 percent of apps are reviewed in 24 hours and over 90 percent are reviewed in 48 hours. Once we've completed the review, your app's status will be updated and you will be notified. After 6 days, it's still Waiting for Review. Can Apple provide: A reasonable estimate of how long App Review actually takes? Update the E-Mails and/or Website and/or pin a thread here accordingly? If we've made some sort of mistake that's keeping our new update in some stuck state, please advise. Can we get a review, please? Any help is appreciated 🙏

Hi all, Our latest submission has been sitting in "In Review" for 11 days with no movement, and I'm hoping someone here (or App Review staff) can advise. Details: App: utapp App ID: 6767597442 Bundle ID: com.bounced Status: In Review since July 10 What we've already tried: Expedited App Review Request submitted on July 17 (no response). App Review Status submitted on July 21 (no response). Is anyone else seeing 10+ day "In Review" times right now? And is there anything we should be doing on our side, or is this an internal processing delay? If any App Review staff sees this, could you please confirm whether any action is needed from us? Thanks in advance.

Team ID: 63XFUNLKTY App: TabUp Build: 1.0.0(10) Submission ID: 43c1231c-7b80-44c6-91af-f45aff050530 -- It has now been more than 56 working business hours since I submitted my build for review, and the submission is still showing "Waiting for Review." My Agreements, Tax, and Banking information are all active, and all required metadata, privacy details, age rating, and export compliance information have been completed. I've also spent over two hours on hold with Developer Support without being able to speak to anyone or get an update on the status of my submission. I invested a significant amount of time building this app, and the lack of any progress, feedback, or estimated review timeframe has been extremely frustrating. As an independent developer, delays like this directly affect my ability to launch, gather user feedback, and begin generating revenue. I understand that review times can vary, but this delay seems unusually long compared with Apple's published expectations. Is there anything that could be causing a submission to remain stuck for this long? Any guidance from Apple or other developers who have experienced this would be appreciated. Thank you :)
