Hello, My app update has been in "Waiting for Review" for over 100 hours and has never moved to "In Review". There are no messages in the Resolution Center and no requests for additional information. Details: • App: DEADGRID • Apple ID: 6790152649 • Platform: iOS • Version: 1.9 (update — 1.8 is live and was reviewed without issue) • Build: 29750736 • Submitted: July 26, 2026 • Current status: Waiting for Review • Developer Support case number: 20000123502103 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. 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? I have already sent emails in multiple days but no answer. Thank you and best regards, Afonso Quinaz

I need practical guidance from developers who have successfully handled a Guideline 4.3(b) rejection, especially for an astrology-related app with broader personalized features. I mainly want to understand how to present the app, write the App Store description and Review Notes, choose screenshots, and decide whether to reply in the Resolution Center or file an appeal. My app was rejected because Apple said there are already many astrology apps on the App Store. However, it is not designed as a standard horoscope or prediction app. Its main experience focuses on personal milestones, AI-powered questions, relationship compatibility, private social connections, and a personalized user journey. Planetary positions are used only as one supporting input in the backend to provide contextual insights. They are not the main purpose of the app. Has anyone successfully handled a similar rejection? Any real experience or practical advice would be very helpful.

Hi everyone, We're experiencing an unusually long App Review delay for our tvOS application and wanted to check if anyone else is seeing the same behaviour or has any suggestions. App Details Platform: tvOS Xcode Version: 26.4.1 Submission Type: App Update Distribution: App Store Status: In Review Issue We submitted an app update last week, and it remained in the "In Review" state for approximately one week with no updates. Since there was no progress, we rejected that submission, uploaded a new build, and submitted it again. The new build has now also been "In Review" for the last 5 days. Apple has not rejected the app or provided any review notes or requests for additional information. The status simply remains "In Review". What we've tried Submitted an Expedited Review Request. Contacted Apple using the App Review "Contact Us" option. We have not received any response to either request. Since there is no rejection or feedback, we don't have any indication that there is an issue with the app itself. Questions Is anyone else currently experiencing unusually long review times for tvOS apps? Is this likely to be an App Review backlog or a known issue on Apple's side? Has anyone had success getting a response through App Review support or Developer Support in a similar situation? Is there anything else we can do besides waiting? Any insights or recent experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My app already has an approved subscription group with approved monthly and annual subscriptions. I later submitted a new non-consumable in-app purchase with an app version. App Review rejected the submission because the paywall also displays the existing subscriptions, stating that the subscriptions had not been submitted for review. However, App Store Connect will not let me add the approved subscriptions to the submission because they are already in Approved status and the Add for Review button is disabled. At this point I'm unsure what corrective action App Review expects. I've replied through the App Review message thread requesting clarification, but I have never received a response to messages sent through App Review. I also attempted to contact Apple Developer Support through the Dispute App Rejection support option, but after waiting on hold for over two hours I was still unable to reach anyone. Has anyone encountered this workflow before? Is there a way to include previously approved subscriptions in a new review that I'm missing, or does this require App Review to resolve internally?

Im trying to add my build for review yet there is no upload option listed. does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this if so what did you do to res this proble?

Hi everyone, Has anyone had an app version approved while the subscriptions submitted alongside it were left behind in review? I submitted a new version of my app together with two replacement auto-renewable subscriptions. The app itself was approved yesterday, but both subscriptions still show Waiting for Review. Both subscriptions are fully configured, connected through RevenueCat and work correctly in TestFlight. However, because they have not been approved for production, the live app cannot load the plans and users cannot start a trial or subscribe. This follows a previous issue where my original monthly and annual subscriptions became stuck In Review for several months. Those original products are still stuck, so I now have: Two original subscriptions stuck In Review Two replacement subscriptions stuck Waiting for Review An approved live app with no working subscription products I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times, requested escalation and submitted a Feedback Assistant report, but I have not received a resolution. Is it normal for Apple to approve the app version without reviewing the subscriptions included in the same submission? Has anyone found a way to get the subscriptions manually routed to the In-App Purchase review team? This has blocked all subscription revenue for my live app, so I would really appreciate any advice.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice because I have run out of ideas. My iOS app has been live for several months, but its original monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions have remained stuck In Review the entire time. Because the subscriptions were unavailable in production, users could not start a trial or subscribe. I contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times and the case was escalated, but after more than a month I still had no resolution...ridiculous! I then tried to solve the issue myself: I created two new replacement subscriptions inside the approved subscription group. I completed all pricing, localisation, availability, trial and review information. I imported them into RevenueCat and attached them to the existing entitlement and Offering. I tested both replacement subscriptions successfully in TestFlight. I submitted both subscriptions alongside a new app version. The new app version was approved without any issues. However, Apple did not review the subscriptions with it...again!!! The current statuses are now: Original monthly subscription: In Review Original annual subscription: In Review Replacement monthly subscription: Waiting for Review Replacement annual subscription: Waiting for Review The replacement products work correctly in TestFlight, but the live app cannot load the plans because the products are still unavailable in production. I have submitted multiple support requests, requested urgent escalation and reported the issue through Feedback Assistant, but I am still getting nowhere. Has anyone experienced subscriptions becoming stuck or orphaned in App Store Connect like this? Is there any route that successfully reached the In-App Purchase review team or caused the products to be manually reviewed? This has completely blocked my app’s subscription revenue for months, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Apple Developer Community, My app, Apple ID: 6794291305, has been stuck in the “Awaiting Review” status for 5 days now, which seems unusually long compared with the review times I normally expect. I understand that review times can vary and that some submissions may require additional time. However, I’m becoming concerned because we are approaching our marketed release date, and the prolonged review could affect our planned launch. There have been no requests for additional information or other updates regarding the submission so far. Has anyone experienced an app remaining In Awaiting Review for this long recently? Is there anything I should do at this stage, or is it best to continue waiting for the review team to complete the process? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I am writing here out of sheer desperation and to seek guidance from the community or any Apple Developer Relations team members who might see this. My Apple Developer account was just terminated abruptly under Section 3.2(f) of the ADP Agreement, with an email citing "documented indications of fraudulent conduct." I am a professional Computer Engineer, a civil servant, and currently a Master's student. I have always taken my development work seriously and strictly adhered to Apple’s guidelines. My entire portfolio consists of legitimate, educational, and utility-based apps. Specifically, I have developed and published: Cogniclash: A straightforward educational trivia/quiz app (geography, flags, general knowledge). Tıpdil / Ringa: Exam preparation and medical terminology tools designed strictly to help medical students and healthcare professionals. Hotstop: A standard, clean utility application. There is absolutely no hidden code, no manipulation of App Store services, and zero fraudulent activity in my apps or my account history. I have already submitted a formal appeal asking the Review Board to share these alleged "documented indications" with me so I can address them, as I strongly believe this is a false flag triggered by an automated system. Being permanently labeled as engaging in "fraudulent acts" is severely damaging to my professional reputation. Has anyone experienced a similar situation where a legitimate account was flagged under 3.2(f)? What is the most effective way to ensure a real human being at the App Review Board actually looks at the apps and the appeal, rather than receiving automated rejections? Any advice or escalation paths would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello App Review Team, My app has an update that has been submitted for more than a week now. Submission ID: a8d50d9b-b327-4bf6-9a0b-4bab80d6dbdb Previous updates have been reviewed in a day or two max. Kindly let me know if further delay is expected, or if anything is needed from my end. Thank You

My TestFlight build has been in Waiting for Review since June 27, 2026 for more than a month. It was submitted for Beta App Review to enable public testing for external testers. Submission ID: f83d8d76-b239-48a8-8776-e93f4d03d5df Could someone please check whether the submission is stuck or if any additional action is required from my side? Thank you.

Hello, I’m posting here because I’m experiencing a very unusual issue with the App Store review process and haven’t been able to resolve it through normal support channels. Our app has been waiting in App Review for over 6 weeks, which is far beyond the normal review timeframe. During this period, I contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times and even submitted an expedited review request, but the situation has not progressed. Some of my inquiries have unfortunately received no response, and the app remains stuck in review without any explanation. This delay is now causing serious operational and financial impact for our small development business. We had updates and marketing plans scheduled around this release, but the prolonged review status is preventing us from moving forward. I fully understand that review times can vary, but a 6+ week delay without any status update or communication seems highly abnormal. If any Apple staff or experienced developers have encountered a similar situation, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this or escalate it properly. Thank you for any help or advice.

Hello App Review Team, I’m reaching out regarding our app submission, which has remained in the “Waiting for Review” status for an unusually long time (8 days). We have contacted support twice and have not received any response for the past three days. The release is time-sensitive for us, so we would greatly appreciate any clarification regarding the delay.

My app is in "Waiting for Review" for more than 7 days. I have contacted Apple Review team three times by email but no response from their side! The submission ID is: 9d476f53-4195-4143-985a-cb86ee1292fa For how long I should wait until the app gets reviewed?

I did not work hard for that new record, and neither did the Apple review team. :) A 10-year-old app with a large number of active users, and the update is just a simple bug fix. It has now been over a month since the original submission. This is a prayer times app. A bug in it affects thousands of people’s daily worship—wrong times, missed prayers. This is not a joke, and it is not a cosmetic issue that can sit in a queue for a month. Expedited review requests, the Contact Us form, and phone support have all produced nothing. If anyone from Apple is reading this: please review this submission—891c1b55-f353-4bf8-bb81-609b1c29a5cc.

I submitted my IOS app (Apple ID 6783073058) on 2026-07-21. 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 still Waiting for Review, I asked Claude if there was any way to check on the status. He suggested opening a support ticket. When I filed 20000121192005 I was given the option to call or email, so I opted for a call. Immediately the phone rang. Then I sat on hold for 2 hours waiting to be connected. After that, I gave up and hung up. Immediately the phone rang again, but then told me that I had called Apple outside of business hours and hung up. I am a first time submitter, and have all kinds of questions about the submission process. If I did something wrong, please tell me so I can fix it. But leaving me in the queue for a week is just mean. Can I get a review, please?

please help me!

i sent my app for review over since 07/25 and it still "waiting for review" it feels like im abandon and no reply on emails through contact us. maybe someone know what is going on??? please help me my game name is LifePath: Life Simulator

I'm hoping someone here has navigated something similar or can point me to the right channel. My Apple Developer Program membership was terminated, with the notice citing Section 3.2(f) of the ADP Agreement and referring to indications of fraudulent conduct. No specific reason was given. As far as I can tell, the only significant change to my account beforehand was updating my country/region after I relocated. I did this openly through Developer Support: I disclosed the change, Apple asked me to verify my new address, I uploaded a government-accepted document, and a Developer Support agent confirmed Apple had reviewed it and updated my account so I could renew. So the location details on my account are accurate and were verified by Apple itself - which is why the "misrepresentation" framing is confusing to me. Two questions: What is the correct channel to formally appeal or request a review of an account termination? The "file a complaint under a Platform Regulation" link is not available in my region, and the general contact forms do not seem built for this. Has anyone here gone through a 3.2(f) termination and had it reviewed or reversed? What actually worked - phone support, a specific form, persistence? I'm trying to resolve this factually and in good faith. Any guidance is appreciated.
