Hi, My app submission has been waiting for review for an unusually long time after submission. This update is very important for us because it is related to payments. At the moment, a payment-related issue is preventing us from properly collecting revenue, so this is becoming a critical problem for our business. I submitted a request for an expedited review, but so far I have not received any action or update. I do not use the expedited review option often - only when there is a genuinely critical issue that needs to be resolved quickly. Could someone from Apple advise whether this waiting time is normal, or if there is anything I should check or do on my side? I can provide the Submission ID privately if needed. Thank you.

Hello, I honestly don’t understand what’s going on with my app review. My app was already approved before, and I submitted a new build on April 7th with some new features and important bug fixes. Since then, it has been stuck on “Waiting for Review” with absolutely no update. It’s been 40 days now, which is honestly unacceptable. I even submitted an expedited review request, but that didn’t help either. The worst part is that this build contains bug fixes for users, and the delay is directly affecting the app experience. Waiting this long without any response or progress is really frustrating. Can someone from Apple please look into this and help resolve it ASAP? Thank you.

Hello, My app, Puls: Corporate Wellness (Apple ID: 6762296263), appears to be stuck in the App Review process, and I would like to check whether there might be an issue with my submission. The app has been in the review queue for approximately 10 days, which seems unusually long compared to my previous submissions. I have also opened multiple support cases regarding this issue but have not received any response so far. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could check whether there is an issue with the submission or if any additional information is required from my side. This delay is impacting our planned release timeline, so any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

As much as our team did a lot of work to update our app, we even did marketing plans for the release of the same. Regrettably, the more time our app spends under review, the more our app becomes outdated due to the version currently in use in the App Store. Please be assured that we know how busy the reviewers might be. However, at this stage, we are just hoping to receive help from people who have been through similar experiences before. Have any of you been in the same boat? Any information or guidance is appreciated? Thank you everyone.

We've put a lot of effort into this update, not to mention all our marketing budget were geared towards its release. But obviously, the longer the app remains in the review process, the less up-to-date the version available in the App Store gets. Of course, we realize that sometimes things get very hectic and thank the people involved in the review for their efforts. But what can we do? Have you faced this situation before, and how did you handle it? We did file for expedited review but days gone by, and sadly, still waiting for review. Thank you everyone!

Hi everyone, My iOS app is approved and live on the App Store. When I submitted it for review I had already created all my subscriptions, the APP review passed. But in the Subscriptions section I still see: Weekly, Monthly, Yearly plans all showing "Developer Action Needed" The English (U.S.) localization of the subscription group marked "Rejected" The frustrating part: Apple left no note or message explaining why. The only text shown is a generic line — "One or more of the subscriptions listed below requires your attention." There's nothing in the Resolution Center for this and no email with a reason. Since the app is already approved and released, do I need to submit a new app version, or can I resubmit the subscription metadata on its own? And what usually causes a subscription group localization to be rejected with no message when the app itself passed review? Thanks!

Hi everyone! Today I finally submitted my first iOS app for App Store review after previously publishing the Android version on Google Play. App ID: 6771439707 The app was developed with Flutter and the process was a very interesting learning experience, especially around: App Privacy configuration screenshots and metadata archive/distribution process App Store Connect setup adapting branding/assets to platform guidelines Coming from Android publishing, I have to admit the Apple review pipeline feels much stricter and more detail-oriented 😄 but also very polished once everything is correctly configured. I just wanted to thank the community because many forum posts helped me solve issues during the submission process. Now waiting for review results 🤞 Greetings from Argentina!

Hi, Hi have released a new app on May 12th, that got reviewed and approved fairly fast (3 days after a single iteration for meta data content). On May 15th, I uploaded an update on the app, improving some feedback and user experience on one of the key features of it. I was expecting a similar delay (1-3 days) but it has been 10 already, and I have not had any contact from apple. My app is related with the World Cup, starting in 15 days, and this delay is working against it ... as I cannot market the app properly until it has the desired update. The submission id is 54d8dd83-8988-499e-964f-222ce9bb4cd3 Is there anyway of getting an answer from Apple on the reason why the review is taking so long?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some guidance from developers who may have experienced something similar. I recently submitted a new app and initially received a rejection under Guideline 4.3(b) (Spam), with Apple stating that the app duplicated functionality found in an already saturated category. After the rejection, I made updates and submitted a new build along with detailed review notes explaining how the app differs from other apps in same category. The new submission has now been sitting in "Waiting for Review" for over a week, and there has been no communication from App Review. I'm trying to understand whether this is normal for apps that were previously rejected under 4.3(b), or if it may indicate that the app has been escalated for additional review. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, My app was rejected on May 24 with guideline violations 2.3.10 and 1.1. I fixed both issues and resubmitted the same day. It's now been 4+ days and the status is still "Waiting for Review" with no movement. This update also includes a critical bug fix that needs to reach users as soon as possible. I submitted two expedited review requests — no response. Contacted Developer Support as well — case ID 102900051339, also no response yet. Is this normal after a rejection + resubmit, or is something stuck on the review side?

Hello, My app Mahjong Pair! - Tile Match (App ID: 6761831655) appears to be stuck in the App Review process, and I would like to check whether there may be an issue with this submission. The current version was originally planned for release on May 18, 2026. However, today is May 30, 2026, and the app is still in "Waiting for Review." Current status: Waiting for Review No messages in Resolution Center No requests for additional information We have also submitted multiple Support inquiries but have not received any response so far. This version is particularly important to our team, as it is tied to a planned release schedule and user acquisition activities that had already been prepared in advance. Given the unusually long delay, we are unsure whether the submission is proceeding normally or if there may be an issue requiring attention. If an Apple staff member could help check the status of this submission, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello, My app DramaTales - Watch Drama Reels (Apple ID: 6762190227) seems to be stuck in the App Review process and I'd like to check if something might be wrong with my submission. Timeline: Submission for review: May 20, 2026 Current status: Waiting for Review Waiting time: 9 days as of May 28, 2026 My app reviews are typically approved within 1-2 business days, so I suppose this delay seems to be unusual. Please help review this submission as soon as possible! I have a timeline for publishing app version that cannot be delayed for this long. Any guidance would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hello App Review Team, I am following up on my earlier post about our app (App ID: 6761247061), as our situation has unfortunately not improved. Our app was finally reviewed on May 22 and rejected under Guideline 2.1(a). We resolved the issue on the same day and resubmitted, but the resubmission has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" again for several business days with no progress. Due to these repeated delays, we have been unable to release a new version of our app to our users for nearly three weeks. If there is anything we are missing, or any issue with our submission that we should address, we sincerely ask for your guidance. We are fully committed to complying with the Review Guidelines and resolving any concerns you may have. Any guidance from your team would mean so much to us. Thank you so much for your time and patience.

Hello! It's been 7 days since I received any response to the application I listed. I also wrote to support and still haven't received any response. I hope that someone from Apple will see this and help me approve the applications. Thank you! App ID: 6770487788 App ID: 6770216468

My app "Fun Games - Mini Offline Games" (ID: 6761358642) has been in "Waiting for Review" for over a month. Apple Support told me on May 19 it was being expedited, but there's been no change for 8 days since. This is delaying our marketing campaign and causing financial loss. Could the App Review team please investigate or reach out? Thank you.

Hi everyone, Our app (version 1.0, first-time submission) has been in "Waiting for Review" status since May 8, 2026 — it has now been 20 days with no movement to "In Review". Some context: This is an educational app built to support our language education center's daily operations (attendance, assignments, learning progress, and internal management for students, teachers, and staff). The submitted build is complete and ready for review. Demo account credentials are provided in App Review Information and are active. Our backend services are stable and accessible for testing at any time. What I've already tried: Opened a support case and received responses confirming the submission is in queue and that reviewers have been notified. Submitted an expedited review request, which was accepted — but the status has not changed. Followed up multiple times, but the most recent replies have been identical template responses with no specific update. I understand review times can vary, but 20 days significantly exceeds the typical 24–48 hour window. I've also noticed several recent forum posts describing similar extended delays, so I'm wondering whether this is part of a broader issue or something specific to my submission. Has anyone experienced similar delays recently? Are there any additional steps I could take, or any insight from the App Review team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I am writing to politely ask for guidance regarding my app, which has been in "In Review" status for approximately 8 days, with no communication from the review team during that time. Submission details: App name: Cromos 2026 Apple ID: 6770304986 Build: 1.0 (4) Submission ID: 8413f01b-8946-450a-b25b-b8eca2e6c70b Submitted: May 19, 2026 In review since: May 20, 2026 Context: This is a resubmission addressing a previous rejection under guideline 5.2.1. I provided a detailed response in the Resolution Center at the time of resubmission, summarizing all the changes made to address the trademark concerns. I noticed that while the app is in review, the reply field in the Resolution Center is unavailable, which is why I am posting here. I am not requesting an expedited review — I just want to make sure my submission is being tracked and to check whether there is any additional information or clarification I can provide to help the review proceed. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

To the App Review and Developer Support Teams, I am writing this post to bring an ongoing and time-sensitive App Review issue to your attention, as my submission has remained in “Waiting for Review” for an unusually long period of time and standard support channels have not yet provided a clear update or resolution. Issue Summary: My app, Cupie, was submitted for review on May 21, 2026. However, the submission has remained in “Waiting for Review” since then and has not moved to “In Review” after several days. I have already submitted an expedited review request and also contacted Apple Support regarding the delay. However, I have not yet received any clear explanation, actionable feedback, or confirmation on whether there is an issue with my account, metadata, build, agreements, or submission queue. Lack of Communication: I have opened the following support cases regarding this issue, but I have not received a meaningful update so far: Case IDs: 102900823761 102901498888 The current lack of communication makes it difficult for me to understand whether my submission is properly queued for review, whether it is stuck, or whether there is any action required from my side. Impact: This is our first public launch submission, and the delay is directly affecting our launch schedule, business operations, and user onboarding plan. We are ready to provide any additional information, test accounts, explanations, or compliance materials required for App Review. Request: I respectfully request that the App Review or Developer Support team help confirm the current status of this submission and clarify whether there is any issue preventing it from moving forward. Specifically, I would appreciate confirmation on the following: Whether my app submission is properly queued for review. Whether there is any issue with my account, metadata, build, agreements, or in-app purchase configuration. Whether the submission is delayed due to additional manual review or review queue congestion. Whether any action is required from my side to proceed. App Name: Cupie - 語音視訊、聊天交友 App ID: 6768550401 Current Status: Waiting for Review Submitted Date: May 21, 2026 Related Case IDs: 102900823761 102901498888 I would sincerely appreciate a prompt update or escalation from an Apple representative, as the submission has been waiting for review for an extended period without clear communication. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Cupie Development Team

Hi everyone, We are experiencing a bizarre issue with one of our apps, BLOKX. Here is the quick timeline: March 26: First submission. No status change for 2 weeks. We canceled and resubmitted. April 27: Still zero movement. We updated our SDK and submitted again on May 15. On the exact same day, we submitted other app from our developer account. It got reviewed and approved. Only BLOKX gets completely ignored. May 20: Suspecting a technical glitch with the specific App ID, we created a brand new App ID and submitted BLOKX as a completely fresh app. Today (May 27): Still stuck in "Waiting for Review" with zero movement. The Support Loop: We have already contacted Apple Support multiple times regarding the old App ID (Case ID: 102871846091 and Case ID: 102875670447). The replies we are getting are incredibly frustrating and factually incorrect. Support keeps replying with a generic template stating that the app “was just submitted today” (matching the exact date of their email reply), completely ignoring the weeks it spent waiting. When we replied back with actual screenshots of our timeline and submission history proving otherwise, they simply copy-pasted the exact same response a few days later, just changing the date to the current day. • App name: BLOKX • Platform: iOS • Current status: Waiting for Review • Total waiting time: Almost 2 months (across both IDs) • Old App ID: 6761107868 • Current App ID: 6771268940 Has anyone faced something similar recently? How did you get Apple to notice? If any Apple engineering or forum moderator can check whether our submission is stuck in the review queue or if any action is required from our side, it would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
