Hi!

Our app(ID: 6754461151) has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" since March 3, 2026 - 17 days with no movement.

This is our second consecutive submission with the same issue:

Version 1.0.2: Submitted February 7, 2026. Waited 24 days with no review activity, no feedback, no communication. Were forced to withdraw it on March 3.
Version 1.0.3: Submitted immediately after on March 3, 2026. Now at 17 days - same result.

In total, our update has been blocked for 41 days across two submissions.

Steps we've already taken:

Submitted an Expedited Review Request 7 days ago - no response
Contacted App Review Status support
Verified App Review Information is complete: demo credentials and invite code are provided
Confirmed all agreements and banking details are up to date

We also have new IAP subscriptions in "In Review" status since March 11 (9 days), which may be contributing to the delay.

We're not sure if there is something in our submission that requires attention. We are fully prepared to make any necessary changes. Any guidance on what might be causing this would be incredibly helpful.

Two weeks have passed since the "App Review" response above. The only "assistance" I received was a template letter stating: "I've contacted the review team to bring this to their attention. There's no further action required from your end."

No one has contacted me since. Complete silence.

Let me update the timeline:

Version 1.0.2: Submitted February 7, 2026. Waited 24 days - no review activity, no feedback, no communication. Withdrew on March 3.

Version 1.0.3: Submitted March 3, 2026. Now at 37 days in "Waiting for Review" - same result.

Total time blocked: 61 days across two submissions. Zero feedback. Zero rejection. Zero communication.

This is a fully hand-coded app built over 12+ months by a professional development team. All review information is complete: demo credentials and invite codes are provided, all agreements and banking details are up to date.

The business impact is real and growing: marketing campaigns we paid for have expired unused, release deadlines have been missed repeatedly, and our team is at a standstill.

Steps we've taken all without result:

Expedited Review Request. No response.

Contacted App Review Status support. Template reply, no follow-up

Posted in this forum - template reply, no follow-up

I'm asking for one of two things (not for special treatment): either a specific explanation of what is blocking the review, or a realistic timeline for completion.

41 days of silence is not a review process.
