My app ActLike AI – Face Swap Video (Apple ID: 6761327996, Bundle ID: com.LCDMediaGames.ActLike-AI) has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for almost two weeks.

Normally, my app submissions move from “Waiting for Review” to “In Review” within 2–3 days. However, this submission has not started review yet.

I have already tried the following:

Contacted Apple Developer Support
Called support
Submitted an expedited review request
Removed and resubmitted the build

Unfortunately, the app is still stuck in “Waiting for Review”.

This delay is affecting my release schedule and causing unnecessary backend/infrastructure costs because the app uses AI video generation services.

Could someone from Apple please check whether this submission is blocked, delayed, or requires any action from my side?

Any help would be appreciated.

I’m in a very similar situation.

In my case, App Review asked me to prepare an externally accessible review endpoint, and I already set up a dedicated review environment for them. However, the submission has remained in “Waiting for Review” for a long time, so keeping the server environment running continuously would only create unnecessary infrastructure cost.

For now, I have stopped the server and I am waiting for either a status change or direct contact from App Review. I also booked an App Review appointment as a backup, since I need some advance notice before starting the review endpoint again.

It would really help if App Review could provide an approximate review time window in cases where developers are required to prepare and temporarily run an external review environment.
