My app was submitted this time last month and has been "In Review" for 15 days. Previous apps were reviewed in a week or less, so I've been really worried now for weeks. Is anyone else encountering such long review times?
App still in review after 30 days
It's not unheard of but that's definitely getting out towards the long tail of the bell curve... have you contacted App Review?
I have, and they've yet to reply. First email was 10 days ago.
you might want to call them on the phone. they seem very responsive that way...
After waiting that long you may have to self-reject the app and resubmit it.
May you show their phone number please? I don't have and I need to call them too
Apple Developer Relations:
(800) 633 2152
(408) 974 4897
I faced with a similar situation. (my case: 29days)
Even though I've made a phone call to Apple, they send me an email that they asks me to wait and be patient.
I submitted a minor update on May 30th and am still waiting.
I have emailed and been told to wait, I've also phoned developer relations who raised a ticket that has been "picked up" by thte review team but provided no further information. The TestFlight version was approved with no issue so it isn't that I'm doing anything that isn't allowed.
I've requested an expedited review but that was declined.
I'm loathe to reject the app and resubmit as, if they genuiently want to check it further, I will then be waiting another NN days.
Just to see if there are any common factors in the long review times here are the features of my app:
Home Automation
Voice recognition
iOS 8 only
iOS universal app
Apple Watch app
Today Screen extension
Pebble support
Beacon support
I'm currently at 21 days wait. And same reply...
"I have researched your app details and confirmed that your app is still In Review. Occasionally we encounter unexpected circumstances that require additional time to complete a review. Each app review is completely unique and therefore requires an indeterminable amount of time to complete."
What are the specifics of your app? Anything similar to mine?
No. Nothing special, and it's just a (minor) update, no new features.
Does it have any of the following features:
Home Automation
Voice recognition
iOS 8 only
iOS universal app
Apple Watch app
Today Screen extension
Pebble support
Beacon support
I want to see if there is some common functionality between delayed apps
the only thing mine has from your list is: Universal app.
What are they doing? I don't know why it take long time in state of review. I'm waiting day by day. Currently I met this problem.
