Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to sanity-check App Store review queue times and see if there’s anything I might be missing.
I currently have two iOS apps sitting in “Waiting for Review” with no movement:
- App 1: Apple ID 6758135741 — submitted Feb 6, 2026 at 5:42 PM (11 days in “Waiting for Review”)
- App 2: Apple ID 6758885884 — submitted Feb 8, 2026 at 4:33 PM (9 days in “Waiting for Review”)
In App Store Connect I don’t see any warnings, messages, or visible account issues. Builds uploaded successfully and metadata looks complete.
A couple questions for anyone who’s seen this recently:
- Are 9–11 day “Waiting for Review” times currently normal due to queue volume?
- Are there common “silent blockers” that can keep an app in this state even without an obvious warning (e.g., Agreements/Tax/Banking, export compliance/encryption, missing compliance answers, etc.)?
- If this seems unusual, what’s the best next step—Support ticket, Resolution Center, or an expedite request?
Thanks in advance for any insight. If helpful, I can share the app category and whether it uses IAP, sign-in, or encryption.
Thank you for your post. We're investigating and will contact you in App Store Connect to provide further assistance. If you continue to experience issues during review, please contact us.
