Hi everyone,
I’m relatively new to the App Store and currently navigating a review situation. I’d really appreciate any advice or perspective. Here’s the timeline:
Aug 11: I submitted version 1.3.0 of my app (App ID: 6742771536).
Aug 12: The status moved from “Waiting for Review” to “In Review.”
Since then, it has remained in In Review for about 13 working days without further updates.
In the past, my submissions have typically moved through review more quickly, so I’m wondering if there’s anything I might be overlooking. I do have a pre-order release scheduled for Sept 2, 2025, so I want to make sure everything is on track.
❓ My questions: -Is it normal for some apps to remain in “In Review” for this long? My previous version was approved within a few hours.
-Should I cancel the review and resubmit? I saw folks here mentioned that is a bad idea.
-Could there be any metadata or review note details I should double-check?
-For newer developers, is this something that occasionally just happens as part of the process?
Thanks in advance for any guidance — I’d love to learn from the experience of others here.
