I'm experiencing a confusing situation and need guidance.
SITUATION:
- Oct 12-15: Rejected 3 times with identical automated message (4.3a)
- Oct 15: Submitted appeal (saw "Successfully submitted")
- NO confirmation email, NO case number in "My Requests"
- Oct 23: Status inquiry → no response
HOWEVER:
- Oct 18 & 22: US-based IP addresses systematically tested my app (confirmed in GA4)
- Clear reviewer activity pattern in analytics
QUESTION: How can my app be under review if the appeal isn't in the system?
Possible explanations:
- Appeal WAS received but UI bug prevents me from seeing it?
- Automatic re-review process separate from appeals?
- Submission failed but triggered something else?
What should I do:
- Should I resubmit the appeal?
- If the appeal was properly received and is under review, should I wait?
- Is this a known system issue and normal behavior?
Any insights appreciated. I don't want to disrupt an active review by resubmitting, but I have no record of my submission at all.
My App id is 6753706909
Thanks for any advice.
