TestFlight External Build Stuck in 'Waiting for Review' for 32+ Hours

Hi everyone,

My TestFlight build has been stuck in 'Waiting for Review' for over 32 hours and I'm hoping someone can help or share their experience.

The situation: I have an External Testing group with a Public Link set up. The build was submitted for Beta App Review on March 19th but it's been over 32 hours with no update. I have 25+ testers waiting to install the app.

What I've tried:

  • Waited patiently
  • Checked App Store Connect multiple times
  • No rejection emails received
  • No issues flagged by Apple

Questions:

  1. Is anyone else experiencing unusually long review times for TestFlight external builds right now?
  2. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process or check if something is wrong?
  3. Has anyone successfully resolved this by contacting Apple Developer Support directly?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
