Unusually Long "Waiting for Review"

Hello everyone,

The App Store review process has been an absolute nightmare lately.

My app has been stuck in review for way longer than it should be. No clear communication, no updates, and the support team hasn't been able to give me anything useful. The impact on my side:

• Launch date completely blown.
• No actionable response from Apple support.
• Status page shows nothing out of the ordinary

This level of opacity is genuinely unacceptable, especially for indie developers who have real deadlines to meet. Apple needs to do much better here.

Anyone else dealing with this right now? Is collective feedback to Apple even worth trying at this point?

I am in the exact same boat its very disheartening

96 hours. This is my second; I guess I'm spoiled, the first one response time was 18 hours. But as I said in my newsletter, this is like being in a waiting room with no chairs. No broken LED waitlist screen. No animal channel on TV. Maddening.
