Hello, I ran into an issue today after receiving a metadata rejection. My current situation: Rejection (Guideline 2.3.2): My app was rejected for its Metadata — I needed to update the description to clearly disclose that full access requires an in-app subscription as requested by the reviewer. Accidental Resubmission: Before reading Apple's instructions carefully which stated I did not need to resubmit and only save the new app description, I accidentally hit "Add for Review" instead of simply saving the updated description and replying via App Store Connect. App Store Connect Reply Option: After cancelling the accidental submission, the App Store Connect reply option became inaccessible. Current State: I've since resubmitted via "Add for Review" with the corrected description already in place. Previous Review time: I have previously experienced an unusually long "Waiting for Review" period — significantly past the 24–48 hour window before my review. Current App Status: My Current App Status shows "Waiting for Review" again and I am afraid I may have restarted the entire review even though my app was only rejected for the App Description and I may have to wait a long time now as I did for my previous review. Developer Support Email (Case ID: 102905099480): I've also contacted app support and have received no response as of yet. Developer Support Phone Call: When navigating to App Review under Apple Support, the option to request a phone call is not available for this issue. Has anyone else had this problem? And what should I do? Thank you.

I am experiencing a significantly long review period for my macOS app. I submitted my app for review on May 25th at 8:58 PM, and it has been stuck in the 'In Review' status since then. It has now been over a week without any updates or feedback. I have noticed a recurring pattern of macOS app reviews taking much longer than usual lately. Is there a known backlog or a change in the review process for the macOS platform? It would be helpful to know if others are facing similar delays to understand if this is a broader trend at the moment. Thanks in advance.

Title: Unable to upload app after App Transfer – ITMS-90076 Team ID mismatch (Keychain access issue) Body: Hello, I am experiencing an issue when uploading an iOS app after an App Transfer between two developer accounts. Current situation: The app has already been transferred to a new Apple Developer Team The app appears correctly under the new team in App Store Connect The Bundle Identifier remains the same I am building the app using the new Team's Apple Distribution certificate A new App Store provisioning profile has been created for the new Team However, when attempting to upload via Xcode Organizer (Distribute App → App Store Connect → Upload), the upload fails with the following error: ITMS-90076: Possible loss of keychain access. From my understanding: The previous app versions were signed with the old Team ID The new build is correctly signed with the new Team ID This seems to indicate that although the App Transfer is complete from a UI perspective, the App Store backend still compares against the previous Team ID. Questions: Is this expected behavior immediately after an App Transfer? Is there any required step to fully synchronize or refresh the app’s Team ID internally? Should it be possible to upload successfully after transfer without changing the Bundle ID? Is there a known delay or internal process before uploads from the new Team are accepted? Additional info: Xcode version: [your version] Newly created archive after transfer Certificates and provisioning have been recreated under the new Team Any guidance or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 日本語 現在、App Transfer後のアプリをアップロードする際に問題が発生しています。 【状況】 ・アプリは新しいApple Developer Teamへ移転済み ・App Store Connect上でも新しいTeamに表示されています ・Bundle Identifierは変更していません ・新TeamのApple Distribution証明書でビルドしています ・新しいApp Store用Provisioning Profileも作成済みです しかし、Xcode Organizerからアップロード（Distribute App → App Store Connect → Upload）を実行すると、以下のエラーで失敗します。 ITMS-90076: キーチェーンアクセスの喪失の可能性 【認識】 ・旧バージョンは旧Team IDで署名されている ・新ビルドは新Team IDで正しく署名されている 【疑問点】 App Transfer直後にこの現象は仕様として起こるものでしょうか？ 内部的にTeam IDの同期や再反映を行う必要はありますか？ Bundle IDを変更せずにアップロードは可能な想定でしょうか？ App Transfer後にアップロードが可能になるまでタイムラグはありますか？ 【補足】 ・アーカイブはTransfer後に新規作成しています ・証明書およびプロビジョニングは新Teamで再作成済みです 同様の事象や解決方法をご存じの方がいらっしゃいましたら、ご教示いただけますと幸いです。 よろしくお願いいたします。

Hello, I am requesting urgent assistance with my app review. I have been through multiple rejection cycles, addressed every issue raised, and resubmitted, but I have not received any response on my most recent submission despite having an active expedited review request. Here are my details: App Name: BitzaHugs Original Submission Date: 05/24/2026 Expedited Review Requested: 05/30/2026 Current Status: Waiting for Review Support Case #: 102903001544 I have fully resolved all previously cited rejection reasons and resubmitted accordingly. My intended launch date has now passed by two days and every additional day of delay has direct business impact. I am not seeing any flags or errors in App Store Connect on my end. I would greatly appreciate any escalation or update on the status of this review. Thank you for your time, Amanda Benavidez

I haven't updated my app in months, but I discovered my app icon color recently changed entirely on its own, and it displays inconsistently in App Store, App Store Connect, and TestFlight. Everything works fine locally during development. It's all as expected in Icon Composer and Xcode. Typically, the icon shows a white symbol on a blue background. But now, online, the white symbol is a dark red color, and there seem to be additional Liquid Glass and shadow effects that I never chose. So, somewhere in Apple's backend processing of my .icon file, it's getting malformed and rasterized with different parameters than expected? And different cached versions are being displayed in different places? On web, it's showing the incorrect version. Same in App Store Connect and TestFlight. In App Store on iOS, the incorrect version is shown in search results, but the correct version is shown on the product page. I've attached some screenshots.

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.

How do I delete my app which is in the prepare for submission state. My previous version was rejected and so I updated my version number to get back to the prepare for submission state, however I am still getting the same error which is "The app is unable to be removed right now" with no more information.

Hello everyone, I've been unable to install any TestFlight build on my device for over a week. Every build shows "Complete" in App Store Connect, but installation always fails with the same error. I also submitted a support ticket to Apple Developer Support over a week ago but have not received any response. I'm posting here hoping someone from the community or Apple team can help. Error Message "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist" (Turkish: "İstenen uygulama kullanılamıyor veya yok") Environment Device: iPhone 17 Pro Max iOS: 26.4.2 App: Easyway Digital Library Bundle ID: com.abacusai.turkishsocialme.t1777823268 Build Framework: React Native (Expo SDK 54) What I've Tried (Nothing Works) ✅ Multiple builds uploaded (build 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) — all show "Complete" ✅ Deleted and reinstalled TestFlight app ✅ Signed out and back into Apple ID on device ✅ Restarted iPhone ✅ Tried different browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) ✅ Tried Internal Testing — receive email but can't install ✅ Tried External Testing — same error ✅ Tried creating Public Link — same error ✅ Cleared browser cache, tried Incognito mode ✅ Verified Export Compliance (ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption: false) ✅ Paid Apps Agreement: Active ✅ Free Apps Agreement: Active ✅ Bank & Tax info: Complete Build Status in App Store Connect Version & Build: 1.0.1 (8) Status: Complete Date Created: May 15, 2026 Timeline May 8, 2026: First build uploaded — same error started May 10, 2026: Paid Apps Agreement activated May 15, 2026: Still the same error after 8 builds Apple Support — No Response Submitted a support ticket on approximately May 8, 2026 Category: App Store Connect & TestFlight Issue: Cannot install builds via TestFlight Status: No response received after over 1 week No case number update, no email reply Questions Has anyone experienced this with a new app on TestFlight? Is there a known issue with TestFlight and new Bundle IDs? Could this be related to the Paid Apps Agreement activation delay? Is there a way to reset the TestFlight state for a Bundle ID? How can I escalate my support ticket if there's no response? I'm completely stuck — I cannot test my app at all. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. 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.

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!

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!

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!

For a couple of months now I haven't been able to see new crash reports for my App Store apps in Xcode. I see the list of crash reports in the Organizer, but selecting any of the new ones always shows the same error message: Error Downloading Crash Log Information: An error occurred preventing Xcode from downloading crash log information. "my.email at domain.com" failed with error: There was a failure decoding response: (HTTP 500, 20364 bytes) The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format.. Pushing the Reload button makes the view load for a bit, but then the same error appears again. Since I want to keep fixing crashes in my apps as fast as possible, is Apple aware of the issue and working on a fix? I don't know if this is a Xcode or App Store Connect issue. I would have expected this issue to be fixed with the newest Xcode version 26.5, but it's still happening. I opened FB22589345 on April 23, but got no response so far.

Hi all, has anyone experienced an issue where App Store Connect shows the app as In Review and doesn't allow you to release it to production, but under General → App Review the review appears to be completed and the status is Approved? (attached screenshots) It's been in this state for more than 3 days already. Has anyone encountered this before or knows how to resolve it? Any advice would be appreciated. I've contacted support already but no response

I'm trying to submit a first-time In-App Purchase together with a new version of my macOS app, but App Store Connect doesn't seem to provide a way to do this. Setup: macOS app (Bundle ID: de.andreasmaser.Screenshots) Marketing version: 1.2, Build 1 (uploaded, processed, attached to version) IAP "Screenshots Pro" (Product ID: de.andreasmaser.Screenshots.pro) is fully configured: status "Waiting for Review", App Review screenshot present, both English + German localizations, pricing set Previous 1.1 submission was rejected under Guideline 2.1(b) because "the associated In-App Purchase products have not been submitted for review" Per Apple's documentation (https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-submissions-to-app-review/submit-an-in-app-purchase), step 3 says: "On the right, scroll down to the In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section." The problem: This section does not exist on the macOS app version page. I scrolled through the entire page; the sections are: App Previews & Screenshots → Promotional Text → Description → Keywords → URLs/Version/Copyright → Build → Added Content → Game Center → App Review Information → App Sandbox Information → Version Release. There is no "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section anywhere. What I've tried: Both Version 1.1 and a fresh Version 1.2 with a freshly-uploaded build Cancelling/withdrawing the previous submission and starting a new draft Editing the IAP and re-saving (no status change) The IAP's "Submit for Review" button stays greyed out on the IAP page The submission draft panel only shows the app version, with no "+" button to add IAPs The "Submission Drafts" floating button on the IAP detail page just opens the same panel with only the app Questions: Does the "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section appear for macOS apps under specific conditions I'm missing? Is there a different workflow for attaching first-time IAPs on macOS apps vs. iOS apps? Is this a known App Store Connect bug, and what's the recommended workaround? Any guidance is greatly appreciated — I've been blocked on this re-submission since yesterday.

Hi everyone, My new app, was recently approved and its status changed to "Ready for Sale" in App Store Connect. Everything seems to be working fine technically: I can download the app perfectly using the direct App Store link, and it also appears correctly when I click on my Developer Name. However, when I search for the exact and unique name in the App Store search tab, it doesn't show up at all. I am aware that search indexing can usually take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, but I wanted to ask if anyone else is experiencing unusual delays with the search index right now? Is there anything else I can do to trigger the indexing process besides waiting or pushing a new update?

Hello, I am posting here as a last resort after multiple unsuccessful attempts to contact Apple Developer Support through other channels. Timeline of my situation: I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program through the Apple Developer app on iPhone, and the annual membership fee was successfully charged to my credit card. The subscription appears as active under my Apple ID subscriptions. I was then asked by Apple Developer Relations to provide identity verification documents. I submitted my government-issued ID as requested. I received an email from the Apple Developer Relations Team confirming receipt of the documents, stating: "Thank you for providing the documents we requested. We will review them and follow up with you within two business days." That two-business-day window has now been exceeded by more than a week. Total elapsed time since document submission: 10 days. I have since sent three follow-up emails to Apple Developer Support. None of them have received any response. The Apple Developer app shows the message: "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account", and redirects to the web. On the web, the enrollment page shows "Purchase your membership" and asks me to complete my purchase, as if I had never paid. I have not clicked that button to avoid being charged a second time. reportaproblem.apple.com does not allow me to take any action on this subscription. At this point my payment, my submitted documents, and my enrollment status appear to be disconnected from each other in Apple's systems. The payment is confirmed, the documents were submitted as requested, but the enrollment remains in a pending state with no communication. I have seen several similar cases in this forum during 2026, some of which were resolved when Apple staff intervened directly. I would greatly appreciate if someone from Apple could review my case internally, confirm that the payment is linked to my enrollment, and allow the document review to proceed. If that is not possible, I would need clear guidance on how to obtain a refund of the membership fee that was already charged. I am happy to provide my Apple ID, the date of the charge, or any other information needed via a private channel. Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello, our subscriptions are stuck in "Developer Action Needed" state, while "Submit for Review" button is greyed out. Even after editing review notes (as suggested here). Subscriptions were rejected before because: "In order to approve your new In-App Purchase business model, we have to verify the purchasability of the items being sold. Please upload a new binary and make sure that your new In-App Purchase products are available for purchase at the time of review." We submitted new binary but we are still stuck in this state and are not able to resubmit. Thanks for any help. Issue: FB22860643

Hi Apple, I hope you are doing well. I am posting here regarding our app, [Poker Reflex] (6761329446: [6761329446]), which has been stuck in the “Waiting for Review” state since [Friday 22th 2026]. We fully understand that App Review times can vary depending on workload and internal processes. However, in our case, the app has remained in this status for several days without any visible progress, update, rejection, metadata issue, or request for additional information. At the moment: No rejection message has been received No metadata issue is shown in App Store Connect No compliance or permission request appears to be pending No additional information has been requested from our side The app simply remains in “Waiting for Review” This is becoming a real concern for us because the delay is now significantly affecting our release planning and business timeline. We have carefully prepared the submission, reviewed the App Store Review Guidelines, and ensured that all required assets, metadata, permissions, and compliance information were provided. What concerns us most is that there seems to be no action or movement at all, which makes us wonder whether the submission may be stuck in the review queue or blocked by an unseen issue. We would sincerely appreciate any guidance from Apple or the developer community regarding: Whether this type of delay is currently common Whether there is any way to confirm that the app is properly queued for review Whether there may be an invisible issue preventing the review from starting Whether this can be escalated or checked by the App Review team We are fully available to provide any additional information or make immediate changes if something is required from our side. Any help, advice, or update would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. [Alexis / Poker Reflex Team]
