I’m unable to get a response from Apple about correcting my account information. I’ve submitted support requests through Apple Developer Support and Apple Finance, and followed up by email, but my attempts to get help remain unanswered. As of 4 November 2026, the unresolved issues are: Tax information: I first submitted a correction request on 15 October, 20 calendar days ago. My App Store Connect tax form contains incorrect pre-filled citizenship and residence details that I cannot edit. Business/legal-entity information: I first requested a legal-entity name update on 11 October, 24 calendar days ago. I also submitted a membership business-type review/change request on 27 October, but the issue remains unresolved. Those waiting periods are measured from my first requests, not my latest follow-ups. Without a reply, I don’t know whether my requests are being reviewed or whether Apple needs anything further from me. How can I get these existing requests reviewed and receive a response? Is there an escalation route when support forms and email follow-ups produce no reply? I can provide case numbers and supporting documents privately to Apple. I’ve omitted personal, tax, banking, and account identifiers from this public post. Thank you for any guidance.

App: Drip Rides (App ID 6828609335), version 1.0.13 — a new app submission made on October 30, 2026. It has been in "Waiting for Review" since submission and has never moved to "In Review." An expedited review was requested for a timed launch and approved on Sunday, November 1, but the status has not changed since — over 90 hours in "Waiting for Review" in total. We announced a November 2 launch and have missed it. Developer Support case: 103017689548 App Review inquiry case: 30000003909762 (filed today, November 3) Could someone please check whether the expedited review is properly attached to this submission and escalate it to the App Review team for manual assignment? Thank you. — Eric, Drip Rides

My developer account is a US single-member LLC owned by a non-US individual. The LLC is a disregarded entity with a valid EIN. App Store Connect only shows me the W-9 workflow. But the IRS instructions for W-9 say: ▎ "If the owner of a disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9" So I legally cannot submit a W-9. I need the W-8BEN workflow enabled. Apple Finance told me all US legal entities must complete a W-9, then suggested I get an EIN (I have one) or change my address. When I sent the IRS guidance, they said their system can't make the change and forwarded it to the tax team. That was May 14 (Case-ID 19771345). Over 15 business days later: no reply, no timeline, and my paid agreement is still inactive. My business is on hold. Has anyone with a foreign-owned single-member US LLC gotten the W-8BEN workflow enabled? Is there any escalation path beyond iTSPayments and the Finance contact form? Both have gone quiet.

Hi, Quizadero 1.1.0 went to App Review on October 27, 2026, and eight days later it still shows "Waiting for Review". In the meantime we asked for an Expedited Review twice, on separate days. Neither request produced a confirmation email or any reply, so we can't tell whether they were received. The wait is holding up our release plans. Submission: App: Quizadero (Apple ID 6813638656) iOS, version 1.1.0, build 9 Submission ID: cfc0cff6-d34c-4298-a879-d03bc1cc1685 Submitted: Oct 27, 2026, 11:34 PM The submission contains one item, the iOS app version 1.1.0 (build 9), currently in Waiting for Review. If someone at App Review can check whether our expedited requests arrived, or pass this submission along internally, we'd be grateful. Thanks, Quizadero Team

Hi everyone, I submitted my first iOS app on Oct 21. On Oct 23 I got an automated message asking me to confirm the price of an in-app purchase (Guideline 3.0.0). I answered the same day, and I followed up on Oct 28. Since then I've heard nothing. App Store Connect still shows "Rejected" and "Unresolved Issues", and the only message in the Resolution Center is that automated price question. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take for you after you answered and did anything help besides waiting? How long do I have to wait still? Thanks!

Our first app cannot be added for review. App Apple ID 6823621704, iOS 1.0, Prepare for Submission.

Hi, hoping someone from App Review can take a look. App: Flipped Dating: Dates, Not DMs Apple ID: 6778089894 Submission ID: 4d2b40e3-2413-4c02-9e66-8ee58282f147 Timeline: Sep 24: iOS 1.0 rejected under 4.3(b). I replied the same day with a demo account and screen recording. Oct 5: filed an App Review Board appeal. Oct 14: App Review replied asking me to resubmit. Oct 15: resubmitted. It has been in “Waiting for Review” since then with no messages. I haven’t resubmitted again since I didn’t want to reset the queue. Is there anything pending on my side, or anything I can provide to get this picked up? Thanks.

Hello App Review team, Could someone please check the status of our submission? It has been in "Waiting for Review" since October 29 with no movement. App: Guidalia for Guides Apple ID: 6762551844 Version: iOS 1.20261029.2 Submission ID: c4d547f4-8891-41c1-a032-0b7e423af67c Current status: Waiting for Review Support case: 103004158595 Timeline: Oct 28: App Review asked for information about our business model. Oct 29, 2:00 AM: we answered all six questions in App Store Connect and submitted a new build. Nov 2: we requested an expedited review. Since then: several messages on the support case above, with automated replies only. Context: Guidalia for Guides is a free business tool for licensed tour guides. It lets them manage their profile, tour catalog, availability and booking requests. It has no in-app purchases or paid digital content. Travelers pay for in-person tours in our separate consumer app, Guidalia, which is already on the App Store (Guideline 3.1.3(e)). The timing matters to us: on November 23 we are presenting the platform at a launch event in Florence, and guides need this app to onboard in time for that. If anything else is needed from our side, we'll provide it right away. Thank you, Antonio Gazzeri Guidalia SRL

Hello App Review team, Our live app crashes within 15–20 seconds of launch for all users and has been unusable since October 29. The update containing the crash fix has been in "Waiting for Review" since October 31, despite multiple accepted expedited review requests and follow-up escalations through Contact Us. Apple ID: 1450809061 Version: 9.1 (iOS) Submission ID: 097aad7f-e972-4bcc-9521-5d6539727d3f Case ID: 103013406646 Context: The update was previously rejected twice for metadata guidelines only, and both issues were addressed the same day. Each time, Apple confirmed the expedited review, but the resubmission has not yet entered review. Could you please look into this submission and let us know if anything is blocking it, or if any action is needed from our side? Our entire live user base is affected. Thank you for your help.

Hello, My first app, "Terca MIDI" (iOS, version 1.0), together with its first non-consumable in-app purchase "Terca zauvek", has been in "Waiting for Review" since October 22, 2026 – 13 days now. Individual developer account, first app submission Paid Apps Agreement, banking and tax info are all Active No messages in App Review / Resolution Center I requested an expedited review on October 31 but have not received any response Is there anything blocking the review that I should fix on my side, or is this just a longer queue at the moment? Any help from the App Review team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm an EU citizen legally resident in Denmark, trying to enroll as an individual. I've been blocked since October 7 (case 102988764176) and I've run out of routes: Danish Apple Account, Apple Developer app: verification with my Danish driving licence fails. First "not accepted for your region", now "Verification could not be completed at this time. Please contact support." New Apple Account set to Italy, Apple Developer app: the only document offered is a driver's license. Passport isn't selectable, even though the enrollment documentation says passports are accepted in most regions. I hold an Italian passport but no Italian driving licence. Web enrollment with the Italian account: after entering my address and accepting the agreement, I get "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." Same in Firefox and Chrome. Support has sent one generic troubleshooting checklist. My email of October 19 has had no reply, and a callback I requested on October 28 never came. I've seen similar reports from Germany and Austria where only a driver's license is offered, so this looks like a regional configuration issue rather than a problem with my documents. Could someone from Apple look at case 102988764176, or tell me how to get a manual identity review? Has anyone in a similar situation found a way through?

Hello, My app, Fanverse, and its associated In-App Purchases/Subscriptions have been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status since October 27, 2026. Our team previously received confirmation that Fanverse would receive an Expedited Review. However, this submission has now been waiting for 8 days without any progress. We have already opened support tickets (Case ID: 103014800220) and sent follow-up emails, but we haven't received a human response yet. Our marketing timeline and business operations are heavily impacted by this delay. Could anyone from the App Review or App Store Connect team please look into this case and help us escalate it? Here are the specific details of the submission: • App Name: Fanverse • Apple ID (App ID): dillerlara@hotmail.com • Platform: iOS • Version: 1.0.1 (Build 8) • Submission ID: fde8f13d-4dba-4ed3-9dce-5cf65187ad3a • Submission Date: Oct 27, 2026, 8:00 AM • Support Case ID: 103014800220 Items currently pending review in this submission: iOS App 1.0 (1.0.1 Build 8) - Waiting for Review In-App Purchase (Dorameira Fundadora) - Waiting for Review Subscription Group (Dorameira Apoiadora) - Waiting for Review Subscription (Dorameira apoiadora) - Waiting for Review We would greatly appreciate any guidance or internal escalation to help resolve this limbo. Best regards, Fanverse Team

Hello App Review team, Our app, Detox: Digital Detox, has been live on the App Store for over three years. Until August, our updates usually cleared review within a day or two. Since August, every update has waited about 3 weeks in “Waiting for Review” before being reviewed, even with full review notes and demo access. Current submission App ID: 6450723324 Version: 5.0.0 Submitted: Saturday, 31 October 2026 Status: Waiting for Review Support case: 30000004708883 This submission has been waiting for 4 days so far. That is not unusual on its own, but it matches the start of the pattern we’ve seen on every update since August, so we wanted to raise it now rather than wait another three weeks. We met with App Review last week and were told there are long wait times right now. However, Apple has said that updates to existing apps are being reviewed first and average about 14 hours, so our pattern looks like more than the general queue. Could you check whether anything on our account or app is affecting review timing, and let us know if there’s anything we need to do on our side? More details are in the support case above. Thank you for your help.

Hello, My app's first version (1.0) was rejected earlier. I fixed the issue, replied in the Resolution Center and resubmitted on October 28, 2026. It has been in "Waiting for Review" since then, and nobody has looked at it yet. App details: - App name: ISO DNA - Apple ID: 6824472235 - Bundle ID: com.fossphorus.isolation - Platform: iOS, version 1.0 - Status: Waiting for Review since October 28, 2026 (resubmission after rejection) What I have checked: - No new messages in the Resolution Center - No emails from App Review - App Review Information is complete (contact details, demo accounts and notes for every role) - The new build is processed and attached to the version Has anyone seen resubmissions take this long recently? Is there anything else I should check? If an Apple representative can look at the submission, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

The app is marked as "in distribution" but is still not visible in the EU. Pricing and Availability shows Slovenia “Cannot Sell – Trader Status Not Provided”, when applying for trader status, the trader verification code never arrives (tried Hotmail and Gmail for several days). Please escalate or forward this to the team that handles DSA trader verification.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm asking for guidance on an unusually long delay in App Store review for my first iOS app. Submission details App name: Matchi App Apple ID: 6822307383 Bundle ID: com.playmatchi.ios Version: 1.0 (build 4) Submission ID: 01162389-ca53-4b39-a3f2-ed98f806791a Developer Support case ID: 103014614367 Availability: India only Release option: Manual release Timeline 23 Oct 2026, 5:38 PM: submitted for review; status "Waiting for Review". 31 Oct 2026: contacted Developer Support about the delay (case 103014614367) and requested an expedited review. 2 Nov 2026: accepted the updated Apple Developer Program License Agreement, and sent a follow-up on case 103014614367. So far I have received only the automated acknowledgement. 3 Nov 2026: still "Waiting for Review", 11 days after submission. Current situation The app has not moved to "In Review". No rejection, request for information, or other message from App Review. No pending agreements, tax or banking items are shown in App Store Connect. About the app Matchi helps people in Chennai, India discover and book cricket grounds and other sports facilities, and lets venue owners and organisers manage their facilities and bookings. This is the first public release. Questions Is an 11-day wait normal for a first submission right now? Are other developers seeing similar delays in late October or early November 2026? Could the submission be held for an account or administrative check that App Store Connect doesn't show? If so, how can I find out whether I need to do anything? I have already requested an expedited review and contacted Developer Support. Is there any other way to escalate, or a channel that can give a status update? Should I leave the submission as it is, or is there any benefit in withdrawing and resubmitting? I'd prefer not to lose my place in the queue. I fully respect the review process. My concern is the lack of any visible progress or communication. Any guidance from Apple staff or developers who have seen this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, playMatchi team

Hello everyone, I'm building a cloud-based AI mobile app development platform called TryAppnetic (https://tryappnetic.com), where users can generate React Native/Expo applications and publish them under their own Apple Developer accounts. I'm currently researching how to implement automated iOS app publishing and have some questions regarding the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. Specifically, Section 2.9 appears to restrict third-party service providers from submitting applications to the App Store or using TestFlight on behalf of developers. Section 5.1 also introduces restrictions around certificates and private keys. I'd like to understand what is technically and legally permitted for a platform like ours. Our intended workflow: A user generates an iOS application using our platform. We build the application in our cloud infrastructure. The user authorizes access to their Apple Developer account. We use authorized credentials or App Store Connect API keys to manage the build and upload process. The application is published under the user's own Apple Developer account. My questions: Is it permitted for a cloud-based platform to build and compile iOS applications on behalf of users? Can we automate code signing using certificates and provisioning profiles belonging to the user, provided they explicitly authorize their use? Can we use customer-generated App Store Connect API keys to automate uploading builds to App Store Connect? Does Section 2.9 prohibit automated build uploads as well, or does it specifically prohibit the actual submission of an app for App Store review and TestFlight distribution? Would it be compliant to automate the entire build and upload process but leave the final App Store submission and TestFlight distribution actions to the account owner? I'm particularly interested in hearing from developers who have built cloud-based development platforms, CI/CD services, or automated iOS publishing workflows. I'd also appreciate clarification from anyone familiar with Apple's interpretation of Sections 2.9 and 5.1. Thanks!

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm reaching out to ask whether anyone else is currently experiencing unusually long review times in App Store Connect. Our app, NumbuX, has been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status for approximately three weeks, without any updates or requests for additional information. We understand that review times can vary, but this delay seems significantly longer than usual. I would appreciate any clarification regarding the following: Are there any known technical issues or backlogs affecting the App Store review process? Are other developers experiencing similar delays? Is there a recommended way to escalate or request an update when an app remains in "Waiting for Review" for several weeks? Could there be an issue with our submission that is preventing it from progressing, even though no action is requested in App Store Connect? We want to ensure that there is nothing missing on our side and that our submission is being processed correctly. We have also opened few tickets in different areas and we have not had any replied yet. Is anyone in the same situation? Thank you in advance for any information or guidance.

My first app (watchOS) has version 1.0, build 16, approved by App Review and set to manual release, so it is Pending Developer Release. It has never been released. Since then I've added features (Apple Health workout recording) in build 17. I don't want build 16 released. I'd like to: Upload build 17 and test it with internal TestFlight testers. Submit build 17 for review and release it as the app's first public version. Questions Can build 17 be uploaded as version 1.0 while version 1.0 (build 16) is Pending Developer Release, or will the upload be refused with ITMS-90062 ("must contain a higher version than that of the previously approved version")? If it's refused, what's the right path: reject build 16 myself (Developer Rejected) and then submit build 17 under 1.0, or change the version to 1.0.1 for build 17? Can the version number of the existing 1.0 record be edited after a rejection, or do I need a new version? Is it safe to try the TestFlight upload before doing anything to build 16? I don't want to lose the current approval by mistake. Thanks for any guidance.

Hello Apple Developer Community and App Review Team, We're hoping someone has run into this before, or that an App Review team member can take a look. What happened September 29: Our first submission was returned. App Review asked us to confirm the price of our auto-renewable Pro subscription (Guideline 3 - Business). We confirmed the price, made an update, and resubmitted on October 8. On October 8, Developer Support confirmed the app was "Waiting for Review" (case number 102984068572) and that no action was needed from us. The app stayed in "Waiting for Review" for 12 days. We replied to Developer Support on October 13 and requested an expedited review on October 16, with no change in status. October 20: The app was reviewed (Submission ID 61a8809e-4366-4698-bb69-8986bb10fef2, version 1.0 build 119, iPad Air 11-inch M3) and returned again with the same request: confirm that the Pro subscription product has the correct intended price. What we've already tried We confirmed the price in our reply the first time. We then changed the subscription's price and description, but we received the same message again. Our questions Has anyone received this repeated "confirm the correct intended price" message and gotten past it? What did you do? Does the reply need to go in a specific place, such as the Resolution Center on the rejected submission, the review notes, or both? Is there something else App Review needs, such as an explanation of what the subscription includes? This is time-sensitive for us. We are preparing to release the app ahead of a national convention in November, so that professionals have enough lead time to download and test it. Thank you for any help or guidance.
