Hello everyone,
I’m looking for guidance regarding a prolonged App Store review delay.
I submitted my app for review more than 12 days ago, and its status has remained “Waiting for Review” with no updates. I have also tried contacting Apple through App Store Connect and the Contact Us option, but I haven’t received any response so far.
This app does not include any unusual features, private APIs, or sensitive content, and previous versions (or similar apps) were reviewed much faster. The long delay is blocking a planned release and affecting our timeline.
Could anyone please advise:
If this review duration is normal lately?
Whether there is a recommended escalation path beyond App Store Connect messages?
If there are any known review backlogs or issues I should be aware of?
Any insights or suggestions from developers who’ve faced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and help.
