Hi all, Like others my app submission has been stuck in “waiting for review” for weeks. I know initial app reviews take longer than updates, but this has been delayed far too long and makes me concerned about repeating the process in the future. I submitted this app for review back on Feb 10. It was initially rejected for a minor issue, which I resolved and resubmitted the same day. After that, the build remained in “Waiting for Review” for about two weeks with no further communication. At that point I canceled the submission and resubmitted the build, thinking it may have been stuck in the queue (I now know not to do this next time). Unfortunately the new submission has also been waiting for review for another 9 days now with no messages or updates. I’ve contacted app review support as well (case ID- 102826632729). I understand review times can vary, but delays like this make it difficult for developers to plan launches or push updates when the review process is the only path to distributing apps. As paying members of the Apple Developer Program, we rely heavily on this pipeline functioning reliably. Hoping this post will reach someone from Apple who can help move the process along. If any other devs have suggestions/tips that have worked for them, please share so others in this position can become unblocked. Thanks in advance.

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.

My subscriptions have a status of "developer action needed", but when I attempt to save an edit I receive an error "There was an error with editing your App Store localization. Try again later." Refreshing the page doesn't change anything. I have 2 localizations, one of them has a status of "waiting for review". I am unable to attach the subscription group to my binary as the ready to submit status required for the In-App Purchases and Subscription section to become active is not achievable. I have emailed and received no response. My app has been approved and is live on the app store with subscriptions that do not function. I understand I made an error, this is my first time releasing on the app store.

Hello App Review team and iOS developer community, I submitted an updated version of my app on App Store Connect on February 5, 2026, and it entered the review process on February 7, 2026. However, I do not understand why, as of today (March 8, 2026), its status is still "In Review." I have already contacted Developer Support on February 27, 2026 but have only received the following automated reply: “Thanks for submitting your support request. We’ve received your support request and will get back to you as soon as possible.” More than a month has passed, and I still haven’t received any official follow-up or updates from Apple regarding this issue My case ID : 102831527320 Apple ID : 1628986976 I would greatly appreciate your help in reviewing and approving this update as soon as possible, as the delay is affecting many users. Thank you for your support.

does anyone know why app store is doing this? all screenshots have uploaded. i’ve signed out and back in, deleted all screenshots and reuploaded, allowed it all night, and now i’ve cancelled the submission. yet when i try again it still says the same thing. it worked before, but there was something they said i should remove from the screenshots, and since i removed it i’ve been stuck here.

My app (GoreMade Fit, App ID 6758867367) has been repeatedly rejected because the review team reports "Invalid login credentials" when attempting to sign in with the demo account I provided. I have verified the following on my end: The demo account exists in Supabase Auth and the email is confirmed The password has been reset and tested — sign-in succeeds every time from my devices, Postman, and programmatically via the Supabase JS client (both service role and anon key) The account is not banned, rate-limited, or locked No MFA is enabled The account has a valid profile, active subscription, and assigned content Login works with both lowercase and uppercase email variations The Supabase project is on a paid plan with no regional restrictions The app uses standard Supabase signInWithPassword for email/password authentication. There is no geo-blocking, VPN restriction, or IP-based filtering. The screenshot Apple provided shows the login screen with the correct email entered and the error "Invalid login credentials" displayed — which is the standard Supabase error for an incorrect password. I have since reset the password again and confirmed it works. Is there a known issue with Apple review devices and Supabase authentication? Could the review team be encountering a network or DNS issue when connecting to Supabase endpoints? Any guidance on how to resolve this would be appreciated. I am considering adding a demo mode that bypasses authentication entirely for the review process. Environment: iOS 18.5 SDK Supabase Auth (email/password) React Native / Expo That said, honestly the most reliable fix is to add a demo mode button on the login screen. Many developers who've been stuck in this loop say that's what finally got them through. Want me to write a prompt for your Vibecode AI to add a "Demo Mode" button?

Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with my app submission being stuck in “Waiting for Review.” I initially submitted my app on 21 February and waited until 27 February, but the review process did not start and there were no updates. On 27 February, I contacted Apple Support regarding this issue, but I did not receive any response. Since there was still no progress, on 4 March I removed the app from review and resubmitted it again, but it is still showing “Waiting for Review.” This delay is affecting my operations, so I would really appreciate any guidance or help if someone has experienced a similar situation. App ID: 6741708449 Thank you.

One of my apps has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for the past 21 days. App ID: 6758734829. I have contacted other support channels over the past few weeks but have not received any response. I also have three additional apps, App IDs 6758755469, 6759047311, and 6759095185, that have been in review for the last 14 days. All of these apps have already been live on the Google Play Store for months. I am trying to launch them on the App Store so I can move forward with my marketing plans. I kindly request Apple to review these submissions and help resolve whatever is causing the delay.

Hello, I’m experiencing a delay with the App Store review process and wanted to check if this is normal. My app was initially approved very quickly (within a few hours after submission). However, shortly after that I noticed a few minor UI bugs, so I fixed them and submitted a new build. The new version has now been waiting for review for about 5 days, and there has been no update since submission. I also want to mention that I have already contacted Apple Developer Support twice about this issue but have not yet received any response. Previously the review happened very quickly, so I’m wondering if something might be wrong with the submission or if this delay is expected.

Hello Apple Developer Support, My app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since February 7, and I have submitted multiple inquiries without receiving any response. This delay has now become extremely concerning. Missing a planned launch due to an indefinite review timeline is very difficult for independent developers. If there is an issue with the submission, I would appreciate clear communication. If there are review delays, transparency would help us plan accordingly. I respect the review process, but the lack of updates after this amount of time is frustrating. I would sincerely appreciate clarification on the status. I kindly ask for a specific and personalized response regarding my case, as my previous inquiries received only general or automated replies without addressing the actual issue. Apple ID: 6758804549 Thank you.

Our app, BeeBot (app ID 6451085742) has been in review since January 26th. We've done the following: Submitted a support ticket (no answer) Requested expedited review (no response, expedited review window came and went) Called support (no help, just told us to wait) This is an just an update, not a new app submission. I've been doing iOS dev for over 10 years and I never have seen review times this long. There's been no communication from Apple. What's going on?

Hello everyone, I’m currently experiencing a very long review time and wanted to ask for your advice or hear about your experiences. I submitted my two apps for their initial release 23 days ago. Ever since then, they have been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status. Yesterday, I realized that my "Paid Apps Agreement" and Tax Forms (W-8BEN, etc.) were incomplete in App Store Connect. I immediately filled them out, and now all my banking, tax, and agreement statuses are successfully marked as "Active". My questions to the community are: Since the agreements are now active, will my apps automatically fall into the review queue, or do I need to trigger something? I submitted an "App Review Status" contact form to Apple Support today. Should I just wait for their response, or is it better to "Remove from Review" and resubmit them? (I am afraid of losing my place in the queue). Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Best, Berkay

Hello everyone, I’m facing an unusually long app review delay and would appreciate any insight from the community. My app has been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status since February 10, 2026, with no updates or feedback. App details: App ID: 6756574744 Case Number: 102824473424 During this time, I have: Submitted several support requests Filed multiple expedited review requests Tried contacting through email and the support section Attempted to follow up on the case status Despite all of these efforts, I have not received any response, acknowledgment, or update regarding its review progress. I understand that review times can vary, and delays sometimes happen. What concerns me more is the complete lack of communication. At this point, it feels like the app might be stuck in the queue. Has anyone else experienced long "Waiting for Review" times recently? Is there anything else I can do to get clarification or make sure the submission is not blocked for some reason? Thanks in advance for any insight!

Hello everyone, My app has been in “Waiting for Review” status since February 4, 2026, and there has been no progress or update since then. Normally, my previous submissions were reviewed within a few days, but this time it has been significantly delayed. There are no messages in the Resolution Center, and I have not received any communication from the App Review team. Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently? Is there anything I can do to follow up or escalate this review? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, it's been almost 3 days since I submitted an app update for review. Is anyone else also experiencing such a long waiting for review time ? It's the first time in years this has happened

Hello, I have submitted two applications to App Review and would like to request a status update, as both have been waiting for review longer than expected. App 1 Name: OrbitGoals Submission Date: Tuesday at 4:11 PM App 2 Name: Healthoria: Health Diary Submission Date: [Feb, 5 at 7:01 PM] Both apps are currently waiting for review, and I would appreciate any information regarding their status or if additional action is required from my side. Thank you for your time and assistance.

I’m sharing my situation in case others have experienced something similar. I initially submitted my app for review on February 4, and it remained in “Waiting for Review” for over 12 days without any feedback or request for additional information. I also sent a message through App Store Connect on February 11, but did not receive a response. To help move things forward, I’ve now resubmitted an updated build with clearer onboarding, improved permission explanations, and some minor UI improvements. I included detailed notes for the reviewer explaining the changes. I’m staying patient and cooperative, but I wanted to ask if others have encountered similar delays recently, and whether resubmitting helped unblock the review. Thanks in advance for any insights 🙂

After migrating our app to a new developer account, newly uploaded builds can't be selected during App Store submission. The old (expired) builds from the previous account still appear selectable, but not the new ones. Build is signed with the correct new team certificates, export compliance is set, version numbers match. Has anyone else experienced this post-migration? Support case open with Apple (102823632970) but no response after 6 days.
