Hello, I'm a first time developer and both of my submissions for NexFi - Portfolio Tracker have been suck in Waiting for Review for an extended time. TestFlight: My first build was submitted on Feb 15th (25+ days) and still Waiting for Review Production/Distribution: Submitted March 2nd (10 days) and still Waiting for Review. It is a finance category app (portfolio tracker) that requires no login, no account creation, and no server side user data so I figured it should be a relatively quick process as there is a minimal privacy footprint. App Name: NexFi - Portfolio Tracker Platform: iOS App ID: 6759226354

Can not update app privacy information about tracking user after remove the tracking functionality and "NSUserTrackingUsageDescription" from info.plist. Always reminds us App contains "NSUserTrackingUsageDescription"

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. My app was already under review, and on June 10 I updated the metadata as requested and replied through the Resolution Center. Since then, the app has remained in “Waiting for Review” for 6 days with no status changes. I’ve already contacted Developer Support and submitted a follow-up request, but haven’t received any updates. Is this normal, or could the review have become stuck in the queue after a metadata update? I’d really appreciate any advice or if Apple Staff could help look into whether this behavior is expected.ID:6774445096 Thank you.

Hello, Our app Hook — Smart Message Assistant has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since June 9, 2026 — 8 days after resubmission addressing all issues raised under Guideline 3.1.2(c) (Subscriptions). Timeline: • June 8: Rejected under Guideline 3.1.2(c) • June 9: Resubmitted with all issues resolved • June 9 onwards: Stuck in “Waiting for Review” with no movement We have submitted 3 expedited review requests, all approved. We contacted Developer Support via email and through App Store Connect messages with no response. We are a small team with an active marketing campaign dependent on this launch. Every day of delay has direct business impact. Could the App Review team please investigate this submission? Thank you, Eden

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice regarding my app review. My app was previously removed from sale by Apple because it had not been updated for a long time. I have now completely updated it, fixed compatibility issues, and submitted a new version. The submission has been in "Waiting for Review" since June 9, and nothing has changed since then. There are no messages in the Resolution Center and no requests for additional information. I understand that apps returning to the App Store may require a full review, but waiting for more than a week without any progress seems unusual. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Is there anything I can do to have the review started, or should I simply continue waiting? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi App Review Team, My app Scora is live on the App Store, but both of my auto-renewable subscriptions have been stuck in “In Review” for several weeks. They can’t be purchased in production, and while they are In Review I can’t edit, remove, or re-attach them in App Store Connect. Submitting a new app version since then did not change anything. Could you please either confirm that the subscriptions are correctly attached to my current version submission and will be reviewed together, or reset them to “Ready to Submit” so I can re-attach and resubmit them? Details: App: Scora (App ID: 6737562614) scora.basic_monthly (6756670651) scora.basic_yearly (6756670145) I also didnt get a response to my email request for nearly two weeks. Thats why i reach out here. Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to get two auto-renewable subscriptions reviewed for my iOS app. Both subscriptions are in the same subscription group. The app binary already includes the subscription screen and the products are visible in the app. The subscription screen shows the subscription title, duration, price, Privacy Policy link, and Terms of Use (EULA) link. However, App Review returned the subscription products with this message: “Guideline 2.1(b) - Performance - App Completeness We have returned the In-App Purchase products as the required binary was not submitted. Once you have resolved all the outstanding issues that were identified and are ready to submit the binary, resubmit the In-App Purchase products with the binary.” What confuses me is that the app binary was already submitted, and all current app versions include these two subscriptions. I also cannot find a separate place on the app version page to attach these subscriptions again. After updating the subscription metadata, I resubmitted the two subscriptions directly from App Store Connect. They are now in “Waiting for Review” status. My questions are: Is it valid to resubmit returned auto-renewable subscriptions directly from the subscription page after the app binary has already been approved or submitted? If App Review says “required binary was not submitted,” where exactly should I attach auto-renewable subscriptions to an app version in the current App Store Connect UI? If the subscriptions are already included in the app binary and are now Waiting for Review, is there anything else I need to do? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. I submitted a new consumable In-App Purchase along with an app update. The app update itself was approved and released, but the new IAP has remained in “In Review” for over 8 days now. A few details: The app update was approved without issues. This is a new consumable IAP, but not my first IAP overall. I already have other approved consumable IAPs in the app. There are no messages in the Resolution Center and the status is still “In Review”. The IAP is tied to a World Cup event feature, and the tournament has already started, so the delay is becoming impactful. Has anyone seen an IAP remain in review this long while the associated app version was already approved? Did it eventually get approved, or did you need to contact App Review to move things forward? Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hi, I’m running into a persistent issue in App Store Connect related to TestFlight and app reviews, and I’m hoping someone has seen this before. From 8th of June, I started getting the following error when trying to create external TestFlight builds: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING Since then: I cannot create any external TestFlight tests Internal TestFlight builds appear, but cannot be downloaded (“The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist”) This is an individual developer account I am the Account Holder All contracts appear active and valid The issue affects multiple apps, not just one Nothing changed on my side (no contract updates, no account changes) before this started happening. I’ve already reached out to Apple Developer Support multiple times, but unfortunately haven’t received any response so far, which makes it unclear how to proceed. Has anyone experienced this issue or found a resolution? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, does anyone else have issue with App review submissions currently? My first submissions were always reviewed in under 24 hours - max I waited was 48. But the current submission has been in "waiting for review" for 2 weeks. No response from support whatsoever and phone support can't offer any help either. This is starting to get really frustrating, is this a general issue right now?

Hello, I'm hoping for advice or help from Apple staff, as my submission has been stuck for an unusually long time. Apple ID : 6757189002 Submission ID: 19cab929-810b-4a15-acfa-4b28ae84ad41 Version / Build: 1.3.0 (4) Date submitted: May 28, 2026 Current status: "Waiting for Review" for 18+ days — it has never moved to "In Review" What I've already done: We contacted Apple Support to inquire about the review status (Case ID: 102907643142); they replied that they could not specify a timeframe for the review and that no action was required on our part. Submitted an expedited review request over 72 hours ago; I have received no response and the status has not changed. Verified my account side: agreements/contracts are signed, tax and banking info is complete, and export compliance is answered. I do not see any visible issue in App Store Connect. No rejection, no "In Review", no visible error. This update is important to us: it adds iOS 15 support that users on iOS 15 devices have requested (they currently cannot use the app), and it is tied to a time-sensitive operational event. The prolonged delay is directly impacting our users and business. Could someone please check whether there is a hidden submission or account issue, or whether this is a known review queue delay? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Submitted Thursday, June 12 at 5:53pm ET. It is now Monday, June 15 at 5pm ET. Status has not moved from "Waiting for Review." No reviewer has opened the app. I'm a small indie developer — this is my second app (GoShed is live). I've been through the rejection cycle before so I know the process. The submission is clean: guest-browse architecture, Stripe for payments, PostHog analytics, reviewer credentials included, notes written specifically to preempt common flags. Apple's own page currently reads "90% of submissions reviewed in less than 24 hours." I'm at 96. I submitted a support email Sunday night and am within the 2-business-day response window. Not panicking. Just flagging for anyone else in the queue — and genuinely curious if others are seeing delays this week specifically.

Hello everyone, The App Store review process has been an absolute nightmare lately. My app has been stuck in review for way longer than it should be. No clear communication, no updates, and the support team hasn't been able to give me anything useful. The impact on my side: • Launch date completely blown. • No actionable response from Apple support. • Status page shows nothing out of the ordinary This level of opacity is genuinely unacceptable, especially for indie developers who have real deadlines to meet. Apple needs to do much better here. Anyone else dealing with this right now? Is collective feedback to Apple even worth trying at this point?

Dear App Review and Developer Support Team, Our app, CraftOS (Apple ID 6757652683), was approved and is set to release automatically, but it still cannot go live. The reason appears to be the trader status / DSA verification, which has shown "In Review" since June 8, 2026. We submitted all requested information from our individual developer account, and everything on our side appears complete and correct. Even so, the verification has not progressed for over a week, which keeps the already approved app from being released. Could you please clarify: Is there a specific reason for this extended hold on the trader / DSA verification? Is any further action or document required from our side? When can we expect the verification to be completed so the approved app can be released? We have already contacted Developer Support about this (case 102914821768), but have not received a reply in three days. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Our app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for about six full days since submission, and it has not yet entered the “In Review” stage. We would appreciate any update from the App Review team and hope the app can move into the review process as soon as possible. Apple ID: 6761810265

Hello, I would like to ask for advice regarding a long App Review delay. Apple ID: 6763960707 Our app was in the “Waiting for Review” status for more than three weeks. When the review finally started, we received an issue related to screenshots, even though the same screenshots had previously passed review without any problems. During that waiting period, we had already prepared a new app update. Since the previous build had not been approved yet, I uploaded a new build and also replaced the screenshots with updated ones that should address the reported issue. However, the app has now been waiting for review again for several more days. In total, we have been unable to release an update for almost a month. The update includes important bug fixes, improvements, and expanded functionality, so the delay is becoming a serious problem for us. I have already contacted Apple, but I have not received a response yet. Could someone from Apple please take a look at this case or advise on the proper way to escalate it? Thank you in advance.

To the Apple Review and Developer Support Teams, We are experiencing the same issue described in this thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/827016 Our application has been rejected under Guideline 2.1 - Performance because the subscription plans do not load during the App Review process. According to the review feedback, there's an error indicating that the In-App Purchases product list is empty. We are unable to reproduce this issue on our side. The subscription screen works correctly in TestFlight on multiple physical devices and with sandbox tester accounts. The paywall loads successfully, localized prices are returned correctly, and test purchases can be completed without errors. We have verified the following: All subscription products are attached to the submitted app version in App Store Connect. The product identifiers used in the application match the identifiers configured in App Store Connect. The relevant agreements, tax information, and banking details are active and up to date. The same build works correctly in TestFlight. The issue appears to occur exclusively in the App Review environment. This makes it difficult for us to diagnose the root cause or validate a fix. Could you please investigate whether there is an issue affecting StoreKit product retrieval during the review process? Any logs, diagnostics, or guidance on how to reproduce the App Review environment behavior would be helpful. Submission details: Date Submitted: Jun 1, 2026 at 2:01 PM Submission ID: 1260550e-ba11-4cbe-925a-7694f89ce715 Thank you for your assistance.

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a frustrating situation with my app and hoping someone from Apple or the community can help or has faced the same. Situation: I configured two auto-renewable subscriptions (premium_monthly and premium_yearly) in App Store Connect under a subscription group Submitted them for review along with a new app build The app build was reviewed, accepted, and is now live on the App Store The subscriptions have been in "In Review" status for 20+ days with no action Impact: In production, StoreKit does not return the subscription products at all (as expected — Apple doesn't serve unreviewed products to StoreKit) Users cannot purchase subscriptions Monetization is completely blocked for a live, approved app What I've already tried: Submitted an expedited review request — no response Submitted a new app version update to force a combined review — app was approved again but subscriptions remain "In Review" Contacted App Store Support via the online form — no response after multiple days Cannot edit or resubmit the subscriptions because they are locked while "In Review" Technical details: Using Flutter with the official in_app_purchase package (v3.2.0) Implementation verified correct — prices load fine in sandbox/simulator Existing lifetime non-consumable (remove_ads_premium) is approved and working in production Only the two new subscriptions are stuck Questions: Is there any way to escalate a stuck subscription review beyond the standard expedited review form? Can I delete the subscriptions while they are "In Review" and recreate them, or will that cause issues with product ID reuse? Has anyone else experienced this and found a resolution? Any help or guidance from Apple engineers or fellow developers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello Apple, I am looking for guidance regarding an app that has been in review for an unusually long time. App ID: 6771651289 App Title: Authenticator App Status: In Review Review Start Date: March 23, 2026 Submission Type: First App Store Submission My app has remained in the "In Review" state since March 23, 2026, and I have not yet received any feedback, requests for additional information, or review outcome. I understand that review times can vary depending on workload and review requirements. However, the extended review period is causing a significant delay to my planned launch, and I would be grateful if the App Review Team could provide an update on the status of the review or advise whether any additional information is needed from my side. Thank you for your time and assistance. I appreciate the work of the App Review Team and look forward to your response. Kind regards, Developer of App ID 6771651289

Hello, I would appreciate any insight from Apple engineers or developers who may have experienced a similar situation. Timeline: Initial submission: May 28, 2026 Status since submission: "Waiting for Review" The app has never transitioned to "In Review" Due to the extended delay, I requested an expedited review Apple approved the expedited review request More than 5 days have now passed since the expedited review approval The status remains unchanged: "Waiting for Review" Support history: I contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times regarding the review status. I eventually received the following information from Developer Support: The application is progressing through "additional internal review steps" as part of the standard evaluation process. The case was escalated to the appropriate review team for further investigation. However: No additional information has been requested from me. No Resolution Center activity has appeared. No further update has been provided. The application remains in "Waiting for Review." Case reference: case IDs (102907712466 and 102901533964 and 102915319049) This delay is having a significant impact on my planned launch and business activities, which have effectively been on hold while waiting for the review process to progress. I completely understand that some applications may require additional review, but I am trying to understand whether this situation is considered normal and whether other developers have experienced a similar timeline after: An expedited review request was approved. Apple confirmed additional internal review steps were taking place. The application still remained in "Waiting for Review" for an extended period. Has anyone encountered a similar review path, and if so, how long did it take before receiving a review decision or additional communication? Any feedback from Apple engineers or developers who have experienced this process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
