45 days of "Waiting for Review"... What to do now?

The first time that I submitted a review for my app was on February 3, 2026. It is now March 15, 2026. I am at a dead end. I have been told numerous times by Apple support to resubmit and to call back. I have a large waitlist of over 100 users that want access, and I'm only able to let my internal users test because my test flight has also not been approved.

I have called Apple numerous times, being extremely respectful and explaining the situation. They then tell me to call back after 48 hours if it is not approved. I then call back and I get the exact same message. I've only had one Apple Support representative truly be honest with me and say wait a week or two because there's a backlog. I then proceeded to call back again, and was told to call back in 48 hours because they'd "expedited" it.

I even had once a representative give me his personal information to send him a voicemail to his contact if it hadn't been completed. This then led to a dead end where he didn't respond, never responded to my voicemail, and simply never helped me again. That was a really weird experience because I thought I was going to get somewhere with that representative. This representative told me in particular to resubmit, which put me at the end of the "line" After being told by a different representative that that was bad information to give me.

I don't know what to do at this point. I can't do any more development because I know that I've been told that resubmitting puts me at the end of the "line" And also, I'm now getting traction that I can't convert to people actually using the app.

As you can see, I've attached my case history, and I'm at a complete loss for what my next move should be because there's clearly no movement, and my app is just simply not getting reviewed. What should I do now?

I have attached the case history to show that support is aware of the situation but not helping anymore at this point.

Any advice or if Apple sees this... what do I do?!

It seems to me that your only option is to sit and wait quietly instead of flooding them with phone calls, which probably only fuels delay.

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.

Same here. Over 5 weeks now.

@Tomato , I can't see why calling would fuel delays. That'd be extremely unethical. The reason we are calling is because we don't have any other means of getting answers. We are completely left in the dark in a process that's core to our businesses
