Concern Regarding Multiple Apps Stuck in “Waiting for Review” Status

Hello,

I’m hoping to get some advice regarding several app submissions that have been stuck in the “Waiting for Review” stage for an extended amount of time, along with another case where I have not received any follow-up after a rejection.

Here’s a breakdown of the situation:

  1. My first app was submitted as a new application on April 30, 2026. Shortly after submission, it received an automated rejection asking for more information about the app’s functionality. I responded the same day on 30th April, by uploading a detailed feature demonstration video and resubmitted the app. Since then, the status has remained unchanged at “Waiting for Review” with no additional communication.

  2. The second app was also submitted on April 30, 2026, and received a similar automated rejection requesting clarification about certain features. I provided a detailed explanation video and resubmitted it on May 1, 2026. After waiting several days without any response, I temporarily rejected the submission from my side to make some metadata adjustments, then submitted it again on May 8, 2026. It is still stuck in “Waiting for Review” with no updates so far.

  3. I also submitted another app on May 14, 2026. This one is currently showing the same “Waiting for Review” status. I additionally requested an expedited review because the release includes important bug fixes, but there has been no progress yet.

At this point, the ongoing delays across multiple apps are starting to seriously affect my business operations, especially due to the absence of any communication or timeline from the review team. If anyone has recently dealt with a similar issue or knows of any effective escalation channels to request a status update, I would truly appreciate your guidance.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Kind regards Jannat Tariq
