App stuck in “Waiting for Review” while other submissions review normally

I have a submission that has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” significantly longer than expected, while other apps submitted from the same developer account during the same period were reviewed and approved quickly (under 2 days).

Current pending submission App Store Connect ID: 6760300948

  • Waiting for Review - Mar 9, 2026 at 4:50 PM

Related history (previous record for the same app functionality) App Store Connect ID: 6759011698 Status history:

  • Waiting for Review - Feb 11, 2026 at 1:22 AM
  • Developer Rejected - Feb 28, 2026 at 10:18 AM

I withdrew that earlier submission out of frustration after attempting to reduce review friction (first by changing metadata/review notes, then by withdrawing it altogether). The current pending submission (ID 6760300948) uses very conservative metadata and includes demo mode to allow straightforward testing.

Can the App Review team check why submission ID 6760300948 is not progressing from “Waiting for Review”, and advise what the problem is or what information is needed to move it forward?
