Hello Apple Developer Support and Developer Relations, I'm posting here because my enrollment in the Apple Developer Program appears to be stuck, and I haven't been able to get any updates through the usual support channels. Here's a summary of my situation: October 18, 2026: I started experiencing issues with my enrollment process. Since then: I've sent multiple emails to Apple Support requesting clarification and an update on my application. As of today, October 28: I haven't received a response or any information explaining the delay. I understand that enrollment reviews may take time. However, the lack of communication after multiple follow-ups is concerning, especially when there is no clear indication of whether my application is being processed or if any additional action is required from my side. Could someone from Apple Developer Relations please look into my case and clarify the current status of my enrollment? I'd also appreciate knowing whether other developers are experiencing similar delays or whether there is an issue affecting new enrollments in the Apple Developer Program. Is Apple currently accepting new developers into the Apple Developer Program, and could someone clarify what's causing these delays? Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to receiving an update.

Hi all, I'm looking for guidance on getting my app back on sale. I've done everything I know to do and I'm not sure what step I'm missing. Details below. Timeline: Aug 16: The app was removed from sale through App Store Notices (ref APP265997). Sept: I renamed the app with a new name, icon, and listing, which was the agreed resolution. Oct 2: Apple lifted the submission hold. Oct 5: The other party confirmed to App Store Notices that the matter is closed and the app can be restored. Oct 7: Version 1.0.4 was approved. App Store Connect shows it as "Ready for Distribution," but the version page also shows a banner: "This app was removed from sale from the App Store." The product page returns "can't be found." I've accepted all current agreements. Oct 20: I submitted 1.0.5 (Manual release). It has been in "Waiting for Review" for 8 days and hasn't moved to In Review. Oct 23: I followed up with App Store Notices and have not heard back yet. My questions: Once an App Store Notices matter is closed, is there a separate step to restore the app to sale, or does App Store Notices lift the removal on their end? Could the removal be why 1.0.5 hasn't entered review after 8 days? Is there a better contact or channel for this than the App Store Notices thread? Any guidance from Apple staff or anyone who has been through this would be a huge help. Existing users can't get the latest fixes, and new users can't find the app at all. Thank you.

Hello, Our first iOS app has been in "Waiting for Review" for over 12 days and the review has not started. I'd like to check whether there is anything else we can do, or anything on the account that could be holding it. App: KeySpot by RK Keys (Apple ID 6820443560), iOS 1.0, build 1.0.0 (12), a shopping app for a car key and locksmith-supplies store in India. Timeline Submitted for review: 13/14 October. 16 October, 10:40 AM: App Review sent a Guideline 2.1 "Information Needed - New App Submission" message (limited review history). This was a request for information, not a rejection. 16 October, 11:59 AM: we replied in App Store Connect with a screen recording from a physical iPhone and written answers to all six points, and added the same information to the App Review Notes. The submission shows 12:03 PM. Since then the status has been "Waiting for Review". No new messages from Apple. 21 October: we sent a status inquiry through Contact Us > App Review Status (case ID 103003818772), and added a follow-up to the same case on 28 October. No reply so far. 22 October: we requested an expedited review. The confirmation page said "We'll expedite review for KeySpot by RK Keys". Nothing has changed since. Phone support shows as unavailable due to high call volumes. What we have already checked The demo account in the Review Notes is approved and working, and the server is up. Business > Agreements shows only the optional EU trader (DSA) notice and the Paid Apps agreement note. There is nothing waiting for us to accept. We have not cancelled or resubmitted, so we don't lose our place. Questions Is there an account-level check or hold that could be delaying a review like this one? Is there anywhere in App Store Connect or the developer account where it would be visible? Is there anything more we should provide to App Review? For others who had the same pattern (accepted expedite, long "Waiting for Review"), did anything specific move it forward? Thank you. I'll update this thread with the outcome so it may help others.

Hello, My Apple Developer Program enrollment has been stuck on "Review Under - Please contact us to continue" for a while now. I have already submitted the support form multiple times, but I have not received any response or update yet. Furthermore, since I am operating from Pakistan, the standard "Call Back" phone support option is completely unavailable/greyed out in my region, leaving me with no direct way to contact the team. I have already provided all my verified identity information during the initial process. Could an Apple admin or support specialist please look into this case or escalate it to the enrollment verification team? Case ID: 103006700501 Any help to clear this roadblock would be highly appreciated. Thank you! Hoping to get some guidance from Quinn the Eskimo or any other Apple Admin on this issue.

Really disappointed after raising expedited review , its been 7 days and there is no update on the progress made so far.

Hello, Our submission has been in "Waiting for Review" since 15 October 2026 with no status change. App name: Healy 3 Apple ID: 6776578116 Submitted for review: 15 October 2026 Scheduled pre-order release: 18 October 2026 (already passed) Expedited review requested: 21 October 2026 Developer Support case: 103005950459 (23 October 2026) Current status: Waiting for Review There is nothing in Resolution Center, and we have received no requests for further information or documentation. The App Review Information section includes a demo account and video walkthroughs, as the app requires a paired Bluetooth device to complete onboarding. This is a business app, so approval is time-critical for us — and we have a further submission to follow. Could someone confirm whether this submission is progressing normally or whether it is held in an error state? If anything further is needed from us, we will provide it immediately. Thank you.

Hi, My app Oyelo was rejected under Guidelines 4.3(a), 4.3(b) (Spam) and 4.2.6 (App Generation Services). I've answered the questions in App Store Connect and submitted an appeal, but I'd appreciate advice in case I'm missing something. What the app does. Oyelo teaches a language from real speech the learner has heard. You record a lesson or conversation (or import audio), the app transcribes it on device, and you make flashcards from the transcript - by hand or with on-device Apple Intelligence. Each card stays linked to the moment in the recording, and during review the app plays that exact fragment in the original voice. All exercises (meaning, listening, gap-fill in the original sentence, dictation, speaking) are built from the user's own audio and scheduled with spaced repetition. I'm not aware of another app that works this way. About 4.2.6: the app was designed and developed by me. No template, app builder or content library was used, and it wasn't made for a client. Apart from a low-level audio recording and transcription layer I reuse in my own projects, the app was built specifically for this product. Submission ID: 0484fb4b-f889-4873-a3cd-539e4ecbbac6 My question: is there anything beyond the written answers that helps App Review evaluate an app like this - a demo video, a call? Has anyone resolved a similar 4.3 / 4.2.6 rejection, and what made the difference? Thanks!

Device: iPhone 11, iOS 26.5 Build: development build, built with Xcode 26.6, iOS SDK 26.5, using the StoreKit sandbox Problem For a non-consumable in-app purchase, Product.displayName and Product.description (StoreKit 2, fetched with Product.products(for:)) always return the English (U.S.) localization, which is the product's primary language, instead of the approved Portuguese (Brazil) one. The App Store purchase sheet shows the English (U.S.) display name too. Setup The product is Approved. Its English (U.S.), Portuguese (Brazil) and Indonesian localizations are all Approved in App Store Connect. The app's App Store localizations include Portuguese (Brazil). The iPhone's preferred languages are Português (Brasil) first, then English (U.S.) and Svenska. The app's language in Settings → Apps → [app] → Language is Português (Brasil). The app's Info.plist declares pt-BR in CFBundleLocalizations. The sandbox tester was newly created in App Store Connect with Brazil as its country or region. Prices come back in BRL, so the Brazil storefront is in use. Questions TN2413 says the language follows the test account's store, and an App Store Commerce Engineer said in thread 756918 that a sandbox account set to the desired country should return that country's language. Our setup matches both, yet we get the primary language. Is localized product metadata expected to be served in the sandbox environment? If so, what else determines the language StoreKit returns, and why would it fall back to the primary language when an approved localization exists for the storefront's default language? How can we verify product localizations before releasing to production?

Hi, Our app peeka (App ID 6819420154), version 1.0.47 build 19, has been in "Waiting for Review" since 22 October 2026, 20:00 UTC. It has not moved to "In Review" once. Timeline: 5 Oct: version 1.0.47 created, first submissions on 9 Oct 14 Oct: rejected under Guideline 1.2 (user-generated content) 17 Oct: we addressed every 1.2 point and replied in App Store Connect 22 Oct: resubmitted with build 19, which contains those fixes. It has been waiting ever since. So far we have: requested an expedited review three times (no reply) confirmed that our Free Apps Agreement is active (since 19 Oct) confirmed that the demo account in the review notes still signs in Is there anything on our side blocking the submission, such as missing metadata or a flag on the account? If the submission is stuck in the queue, could someone please look at it? Thank you.

Dear App Dev Team, I ask and beg for assistance please. My app: XmasMaps has been going from "Waiting for Review" to "Rejected". I would fix the mistakes right away which would put XmasMaps back into "Waiting for Review". XmasMaps is a Christmas App that truly needs to deploy very soon. I can't provide a launch promotion if I don't have a live App. This App would be a useless App after November. It has been live on the Google Play Store but truly would need it live on both platforms please. Our app, XmasMaps, has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" since September 29th, 2026 (Submission ID: 1ced2377-575b-4bdd-812f-2852a23c2ffc). Timeline of previous actions: Sept 29, 2026: Initial submission Oct 8 & Oct 11, 2026: Resubmitted fixes following rejections Oct 14, 2026: new build resubmitted, currently stuck in "Waiting for Review" Oct 16, 2026: Expedited review request submitted Oct 19, 2026: Support customer inquiry submitted Android is already live, and we are hoping to clear iOS review so users can access the platform ahead of the upcoming holiday season. Oct 24, 2026: Rejected again for something already built into my latest build. i resubmitted right away and now put back into "waiting for review" when I would expect that the engineer who rejected it would take it back and finalize my app. Submission ID: 1ced2377-575b-4bdd-812f-2852a23c2ffc Support Case ID: 102982950152 / 103008467960 Team ID: 34WAQXFJHP I ask, please assist and review my app. It is already live on Google and i really need it live on both platforms to promote it. Could you please let me know if any additional information is needed from my side? Please! I beg for assistance to finally approve my app. Thank you.

Hello, My first app, Calorie Dose (Apple ID 6807305510, iOS 1.0 build 100), has been "Waiting for Review" since October 14, 2026. The history: October 8: first submission. App Review asked for more information (Guideline 2.1, new developer account). October 11: I replied with a screen recording on a physical device and answers to every question. October 14: resubmitted. Status has been "Waiting for Review" since then. October 23: I requested an expedited review and the page confirmed "We'll expedite review for Calorie Dose." October 27: I noticed the updated Apple Developer Program License Agreement and Paid Applications Schedule had not been accepted, and accepted both. I have also asked Developer Support about the status (case 103001719000) but have not had a reply yet. Could someone from App Review please check whether the submission is stuck or waiting for anything from my side? I am ready to answer any question the same day. Thank you.

Hi, I'm curious if others have spent a long time stuck waiting for review. I submitted a week ago, and have a growing audience exited to play my new game and continuing to not have it available is hurting my growth. Should I submit a form for expedited review?

Is there a process or Apple contact for requesting expedited review of In-App Event assets? My major update with iPhone Duo support is already approved and live, but the associated In-App Event and creative assets are still pending review. I know it’s the weekend, but I’m hoping to have the event live by Tuesday, October 27, at 9 AM PDT, to coincide with the launch. Thank you so much!

Hello, My app Cooo - Relax, Sleep & Ambience (Apple ID: 6815477126) has been stuck in waiting for review status for more than 14 days after I resubmited promptly (same day) to the last review rejection for a missing EULA link. I had requested an expedited review for this and have tried submitting several tickets requesting a status or review but have received no response and there is no option for phone support or call back. There is a red exclamation mark still showing next to the app icon in app store conenct but I confirm that all messages were responded to, the app was updated and submitted more than 14 days ago, shows "waiting for review status", all forms in my account are active and up to date, and no other options for actions from my end in app store connect. This is completely blocking our launch and timeline. Apple App ID: 6815477126 Current Status: Waiting for Review Could an Apple Team member please look into this and whether the build is stuck in a database routing error or other issue. Thank You!

Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m seeking guidance regarding several app submissions from **DB SQUARE TECHNOLOGY** that have been waiting for review or have an unresolved App Review issue since October 16, 2026. We appreciate Apple’s review process and understand that every app must meet the App Review Guidelines. However, we are unsure whether any further action is required from our side, as we have already responded to App Review and provided the requested explanations and supporting materials. ### 1. DB Diary – Police Diary (iOS) Our DB Diary app encountered an issue under **Guideline 2.1 – Information Needed** during its new app submission review. We responded to Apple’s concerns and provided detailed explanations, a screen recording, and the supporting information requested. We subsequently submitted the app for review. According to App Store Connect, the iOS version **1.5.0 (10)** was submitted on October 16, 2026, at 12:20 PM. We are still waiting for an update and would appreciate clarification on whether any additional information or action is required. ### 2. DB Law Bank (iOS and macOS) Both the iOS and macOS versions of DB Law Bank are showing **Waiting for Review** in App Store Connect. The iOS version 1.0.0 (3) was submitted on October 16, 2026. The macOS version 1.0.0 (1) was submitted on October 22, 2026. We have been checking the status regularly but have not received a review result for either version. ### 3. DB Budget (iOS) DB Budget version 1.0.0 (2) was submitted on October 16, 2026, and is also showing **Waiting for Review**. We would appreciate any guidance on whether this waiting period is normal or whether we should contact App Review through another channel. ### Thank you for reviewing DB Scanner Our **DB Scanner: PDF & OCR** app has also gone through the submission process, and we are grateful that it was reviewed. We appreciate the time and effort Apple’s review team puts into helping developers publish their apps. ### What we would like to understand 1. For DB Diary, after responding to Guideline 2.1 and providing the requested explanations and screen recording, is any further action required from us? 2. For DB Law Bank and DB Budget, should we continue waiting, or is there an appropriate way to request a status update? 3. Is there anything we should check in App Store Connect to ensure that no additional information or action is pending from our side? We are not asking for the review guidelines to be bypassed. We simply want to understand the status of our submissions and resolve any outstanding issues as quickly as possible while complying fully with Apple’s requirements. Thank you for your time and assistance. Any advice from developers who have experienced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, **DB SQUARE TECHNOLOGY**

Hello, Our first app, AQARI - App For Riders (Apple ID 6794502462), was rejected on October 20 under Guideline 5.1.1(v).

Could someone from App Review please check whether anything is blocking it? Thank you.

Hello Apple Developer Forums community, I would like to ask whether anyone has experienced a similar App Review delay and whether there is anything I can do to move the review process forward. Here is the submission timeline for my app: July 26, 2026: Submitted an app update for review. July 28, 2026: The submission was rejected due to Guideline 2.3.6, Guideline 3.2.1(viii), and Guideline 3.2.2(ix). August 19, 2026: After addressing the issues raised in the rejection, I replied and resubmitted the app for review. October 1, 2026: Since the status had remained under review for an extended period, I canceled the existing submission and submitted it again. October 27, 2026: The app is still showing “In Review” in App Store Connect, with no apparent progress. It has now been more than two months since I first submitted the update, and the current review has been pending for a considerable amount of time. I understand that review times can vary depending on the app and the issues involved. However, I am concerned that something may be holding up the review process. I would appreciate any advice on the following questions: Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently, particularly after addressing previous App Review guideline violations? Is there anything I can do to determine whether the submission is progressing normally or requires additional action from my side? Would it be advisable to contact App Review or Apple Developer Support directly at this point? Based on your experience, is there any way to estimate when the review might be completed? I am not looking to bypass the App Review process. I would simply like to understand whether this extended delay is normal and what steps I should take next. Thank you for your time and any advice you can share. Submission ID: 59357cf3-2efd-4795-88ce-e761cb79e171

Hello! Thank you for your attention to our issue! Our app, AIGENIS: понятные инвестиции, is still unavailable on the App Store. We believe this may be related to a synchronization issue between our Apple Developer Program membership status and App Store Connect. We were previously informed that instructions to resolve the issue had been sent on October 16th. However, we never received them, including in our spam folder. In the latest email from Apple Developer Support, we were advised to contact provider_review@apple.com directly, as Developer Support is unable to provide further assistance. We have already sent an email to this address but have not received a response. This issue has now remained unresolved for almost two months, and we still do not know what steps we need to take to restore our app. It is extremely important for us to make our app available on the App Store again as soon as possible so that our customers can download it and continue using our services. We kindly ask for your help in clarifying the current status of our case and advising us on how we can move forward and speed up the resolution. Support ticket: 102978608429 Apple Account: dev@aigenis.by App name: AIGENIS: понятные инвестиции We would sincerely appreciate any assistance you can provide! Thank you very much for your help and support!
