Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to seek guidance regarding an unusual delay in the App Review process.

Two of our new apps have been in the “Waiting for Review” status since October 30, 2025, with no change or update from the review team. Both submissions were uploaded from an active, established developer account that already has multiple live apps on the App Store.

We reached out to Apple Developer Support, and they kindly confirmed that the issue has been escalated under Case ID: 102741157121. However, as of today, both apps continue to remain in the same status without any progress.

At this point, we’re concerned that the apps might be stuck in the queue due to some technical issue, since no review activity seems to have started yet.

Has anyone else experienced a similar delay recently, or found any effective way to get such stuck submissions moving again?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I'm encountering a similar delay.

App in review since October 23rd, expedited on the 24th with a rejection on the 31st and a new build sent 7 hours later. App has been stuck in in-review status since then with no updates and no visible usage of the in-review app version based on server logs.

Thank you for your response.

However, I would like to mention that we received a Pending Termination Notice even before our app was taken into review. Our app is still in the review process and has not yet been approved or released on the App Store.

We kindly request you to please check this situation and provide clarification, as we want to fully comply with Apple’s guidelines and resolve any misunderstanding.

Thank you for your time and assistance.
