Hello, our app has been stuck in Waiting for Review for 9 days already, which is unusually long in my experience. I also opened a support ticket (Case ID 102845782608), but still haven’t received any response. Could someone from App Review please take a look? Thank you

App Review App Store Connect Hi everyone, My iOS app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for over 10 days, and I’m starting to worry there might be an issue with my submission or account. Here are the key timeline details (GMT+7): Feb 3, 2026 – Submitted app → entered Waiting for Review Feb 5, 2026 – App went In Review and was later Rejected by Apple Feb 5 – Mar 2, 2026 – I made fixes and resubmitted Then on Mar 2, 2026: Submitted again → Waiting for Review On Mar 8, 2026: I made several quick re-submissions (Developer Rejected → Ready for Review → Waiting for Review multiple times within minutes) Since then: Mar 8, 2026 → Today (Mar 18, 2026) Status has remained “Waiting for Review” with no progress I have already contacted Apple Developer Support: Case ID: 102845134369 However, I haven’t received any meaningful update yet. My concerns: My app was previously reviewed (reached In Review and got feedback), so it doesn’t seem like a completely new or blocked app. The app itself is relatively simple (no sensitive content, no unusual permissions). I did perform multiple rapid re-submissions on Mar 8 — I’m not sure if that might have affected the review queue. My questions: Could multiple rapid “Developer Rejected → Resubmitted” actions cause my app to be deprioritized or delayed in the review queue? Is it normal for an app to stay in “Waiting for Review” for 10+ days without any status change? Should I: Keep waiting, or Cancel and resubmit again, or Submit a new build version? Is there any way to verify if my app/account has been flagged or requires additional information that is not shown in App Store Connect? I understand that review times can vary, but this feels longer than usual, especially since there has been no transition to In Review. If anyone (or Apple staff) has experienced something similar or has advice on how to proceed, I would really appreciate your guidance. Thank you very much.

I am attempting to configure appclips, but I am getting this error in App Store Connect. I created an app clips target in my project, I have checked the XCAsset files and it is included when archived and pushed to App Store Connect. In both my parent and my app clips target I've added the associated domains capabilities, with the following associated same domains for both targets: appclips:akin-server-side-staging.onrender.com appclips:akin-server-side.onrender.com applinks:akin-server-side-staging.onrender.com applinks:akin-server-side.onrender.com My server is configured to serve the following json at all permutations of the staging endpoints and prod endpoints for both well known and aasa without well known. Here is one of them: https://akin-server-side.onrender.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association Here is the JSON it is returning: {"applinks":{"details":[{"appIDs":["8PJ28P9ZZ8.com.ElevatedUnderdogs.akin1"],"components":[{"\/":"\/appClips\/referral\/venueToUser\/*"}]}]},"appclips":{"apps":["8PJ28P9ZZ8.com.ElevatedUnderdogs.akin1.Clip"]}} And yet I'm still getting Invalid Entitlement: Unknown ID in the store.

Celebrating exactly 6 weeks since I purchased the Apple Developer account, and it still hasn’t been approved🙂🎂

Hey everyone 👋 I’m starting my journey in iOS app development coming from a Java background and I already have an app idea but want to approach things the right way so I’d love your guidance What AI tools do you recommend for coding debugging and learning Swift or SwiftUI 🤖 how do you approach app design 🎨 and where do you find UI inspiration graphics or useful resources for building apps 🚀 any tips or lessons learned would really help 🙏

Hello Apple Developer Community and App Review Team, I am reaching out here because I am completely stuck and have not received a response from the standard support channels. On March 4th, I requested and was successfully granted an Expedited Review for a critical bug fix for two of my apps ("Who Wants to Be AI Professor?" and "The Fed Chair"). However, it has been 12 days and both apps are still stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status. Suspecting a system glitch or "ghosting" issue, I contacted App Store Connect support on March 10th and received Case ID: 102840953234. The automated email stated I would receive a reply within 2 business days, but that time has long passed with no response. I kindly ask if an App Review Team member or Apple Staff could look into this Case ID and check if my submissions are stuck in a technical loop. I have refrained from canceling and resubmitting to avoid further delays, but I am currently completely blocked. Any help to push these manually to the review desk would be immensely appreciated. Thank you!

Is anyone else having trouble generating App Store promo codes? The promo codes page in App Store Connect is mostly failing to finish loading, and even when it does finish, promo code generation gets stuck on Generating.

I want to provide free test accounts so that mobile games reviewers can play my iOS game for free. They should be able to make in-app purchases(consumables) without any charges. I don´t know how to create the free test accounts. Is it necessary that my iOS game is already published in the Apple App Store before I can provide test accounts for mobile games reviewers? Or is it necessary to let the reviewers play my game while it is still in TestFlight? If yes, should I ask them to give me there email address so that I can add it to my Sandbox accounts? My game was not yet released in the App Apple Store. It´s only available on TestFlight.

Hello, I submitted my app for review for the first time about two weeks ago and it is still stuck in "Waiting for Review" with no update. I haven't received any feedback yet and I'm not sure if this kind of delay is normal or if something might be wrong. Has anyone experienced something similar? What did you do in this situation? Thanks.

Another Limbo with IAP. I'm genuinely baffled by this. My app " Tapix - AI Writing Keyboard " was reviewed, approved, and is currently live and downloadable on the App Store. Great except the auto-renewable subscription that I submitted at the same time is STILL sitting in "Waiting for Review." Let me spell out what this means for real users: A user finds my app on the App Store They download it They open it and hit the subscription screen Nothing works. They can't subscribe. The core functionality is locked behind a paywall that Apple hasn't approved yet. They think the app is broken They leave a 1-star review and delete it. This is an absolutely terrible first impression and there's nothing I can do about it from my side. Everything is configured correctly metadata, pricing, review screenshots, subscription group, product IDs all of it. The app was approved. The subscription just... wasn't. How is it possible that Apple approves and distributes an app but leaves the IAP that the app literally depends on in limbo? Shouldn't these be reviewed together? Why would you release an app to users in a state where its core monetization is non-functional? Every hour this sits in "Waiting for Review" is real damage and a launch that's essentially sabotaged through no fault of my own. I'm asking for any guidance on how to escalate this. This needs urgent attention. Thank you. App Name - Tapix AI Keyboard

Hey everyone 👋 I have 14 years of experience in iOS development, starting in my mid-teens and later working as a senior and lead developer with Fortune 50 companies. Around 1.5 years ago I began my indie journey as a side hustle, and for the past 3 months I have been building apps full time with a growing portfolio and increasing revenue 📈 I currently handle everything myself including development, ASO, and design, with marketing planned for later 🚀 I just shipped a major release last week and taking a relaxed week now, so feel free to ask anything about iOS development, indie life, ASO, monetization, or related topics 💬

I have an app for iOS already on the AppStore and I'm trying to add a macOS version of it. The AppID prefix for this app is different than my Team ID. This mismatch was always fine for submitting my iOS app. However for some reason, the macOS version gets rejected when I upload it. It tells me the AppID prefix must match my Team ID. I do not control my TeamID and I do not control my AppID prefix, they are both given to me by Apple. Yet the error message tells me they must match. How do I get past this? Here is the error message: Validation failed Invalid code signing entitlements. Your application bundle's signature contains code signing entitlements that aren't supported on macOS. Specifically, the "APPID_PREFIX.MY_BUNDLE_ID" value for the com.apple.application-identifier key in "MY_PACKAGE" isn't supported. This value should be a string that starts with your Team ID, followed by a dot ('"), followed by the bundle ID. (ID: 930b77ae-099f-4798-a14a-2803f2a9be9e) Thanks in advance for any pointer.

Hello everyone, I am seeking some guidance on how to break out of what appears to be an automated App Review rejection loop. My app has been rejected three times in a row for the exact same reason, and my replies in the Resolution Center seem to be getting ignored. The Issue: My app is named Linkwise (associated with my web platform, linkwise.app). I am being rejected under Guideline 4.1(c) - Design - Copycats. The rejection message specifically states: "The app's icon and name contain an icon, brand, or product name that belongs to the following developer: Linkwise." The bizarre part is that I am the developer of Linkwise. I am being accused of impersonating my own brand and product. Submission Details: App Name: Linkwise Submission ID: fa557f1b-3724-4e01-aa85-bf05ced4801f Version: 1.0.1 Review Device: iPhone 17 Pro Max What I've Tried: I have replied to the rejection message in App Store Connect three times explaining that I am the owner of the Linkwise brand and domain. Despite this, I keep receiving the exact same copy-pasted template response. It feels like a human is not actually reading the appeals. My Questions: How can I escalate this past the initial review tier to someone who can read the context? Has anyone else experienced being rejected for copying themselves? What specific "documentary evidence" does App Review usually want in this scenario to prove I own my own name? Would my domain registration receipt for linkwise.app be sufficient, or do they require formal trademark documentation? Any advice on how to get this in front of a real person would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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

Hello, I am trying to understand what is happening with my submissions because the situation has become very unusual. I currently have three applications in the App Store review queue: • Healthoria – submitted Feb 5, 7:01 PM • OrbitGoals – submitted Feb 17, 4:11 PM • Memochron – submitted Mar 10 All three of them are still in “Waiting for Review.” The first submission has now been waiting for over a month. During this time I have sent support emails and submitted an expedited review request, but I have not received any response or update. What makes this situation more confusing is that most developers report review times of 2–3 days. Seeing my apps remain in the queue for weeks without any communication makes it difficult to understand whether there is a technical issue, an account-related delay, or something else affecting the process. I completely understand that review times can vary, but having three separate apps all stuck in the same stage for this long seems highly unusual. If anyone from Apple or other developers have experienced a similar situation, I would greatly appreciate any clarification or guidance. Thank you. Best regards, Berkay

Hello, I submitted my app for review several days ago, but the status is still “Waiting for Review.” It appears that nobody from the Apple review team has started reviewing the app yet. This situation is extremely frustrating and unacceptable for developers who depend on timely reviews to maintain and release their applications. Waiting days, weeks, or even a month just to receive a potential rejection due to a fixable issue wastes a significant amount of time for development teams. The main problem is not only the delay itself, but the lack of progress. The status remains stuck at "Waiting for Review", which suggests that the review process has not even begun. I have also noticed that many other developers are currently experiencing the same issue, which suggests that this may be a broader problem affecting the App Store review system. Could someone from Apple please clarify: Why apps are staying in “Waiting for Review” for so long Whether there is currently a backlog or system issue affecting reviews What developers can do to avoid these long delays At this point, I would really appreciate an immediate solution or at least an explanation for what is happening with the review process. SUBMISSION ID: c56590cd-cbdb-429d-9555-163efabda47b Thank you.

My app has been released, and there is an "App Clip" link available in the advanced experience. Could someone please tell me if there is a way for me to modify or delete this link? (I'm not looking to deactivate the link; I just want to remove it so that other apps can use it.) If I remove the already published APP, can I also delete this link?

Hello everyone, I wanted to check whether other developers are currently experiencing unusually long “Waiting for Review” times. Our app Aslan Wealth (App ID: 6755077470) has been stuck in Waiting for Review for quite a while and has never entered the “In Review” stage. Timeline Feb 18, 2026 – Version submitted for review Feb 23 – Contacted Apple Developer Support regarding review status Feb 24 – Received reply that the case was escalated to the review team Mar 3 – Still in Waiting for Review (confirmed by support that the app is still in the queue) Mar 7–11 – Followed up with Developer Support again Mar 12 – Still Waiting for Review So the app has now been waiting for review for more than 3 weeks without ever entering active review. Additional information All agreements are active No messages in Resolution Center Build was not modified after submission App status remains Waiting for Review Questions Has anyone else recently experienced similar multi-week delays in the “Waiting for Review” stage? If so: Did your app eventually move to In Review without changes? Did Apple provide any explanation for the delay? Is there anything developers can do to help move the process forward? Any recent data points or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.
