App approved but not available in EU (Malta) – DSA compliance stuck "In Review"

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue with my app "FindUWay" (iOS), and I’m trying to understand if this is related to EU Digital Services Act (DSA) compliance.

Current situation:

  • App is approved and published on the App Store
  • All agreements, tax forms (including W-8BEN), and banking info are completed and active
  • App is set to be available in 175 countries, including Malta

Issue: The app is NOT available in Malta and shows "App Not Available" on multiple iPhones and Apple IDs.

Important detail: In App Store Connect, the only pending item is:

  • Digital Services Act (DSA) compliance → Status: "In Review" since April 5th

What I’ve observed:

  • The app works and appears normally in some regions
  • In Malta (EU), it does not open or install properly
  • This seems to affect multiple devices (including iPhone 17 Pro Max)

Questions:

  1. Is DSA compliance review blocking app availability in EU countries?
  2. Is it expected for the app to be unavailable while DSA is still "In Review"?
  3. Is there anything else I need to configure or submit?
  4. Has anyone experienced delays with DSA review recently?

This is impacting my app launch, so any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
