Hi everyone,
My app update has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 5 weeks now, and I'd like to ask if anyone has experienced something similar.
App ID: 6763439171
Here's the timeline:
- Initial submission: took about 1 month in "Waiting for Review" before approval. Long, but I understood it was the first review.
- Subsequent minor updates: approved within 1–2 days each time. Great experience.
- Current update (minor UI/interface changes): submitted 5 weeks ago, still "Waiting for Review" with no status change.
I've also submitted an expedited review request 3 times during this period, but I haven't received any response — not even a rejection of the expedite request. There's nothing unusual about this update — no new permissions, no new SDKs, just interface adjustments.
I've searched the forums and other developers' experiences, but I couldn't find many cases where a simple update waited this long.
I'm hesitant to cancel and resubmit, because I'm worried that would put me at the back of the queue and reset the wait to another month or more.
My questions:
- Is a 5-week "Waiting for Review" for a minor update normal these days?
- Is it normal to get zero response after 3 expedited review requests?
- Would canceling and resubmitting actually reset my place in the queue?
- Is there any other way to reach the review team at this point?
Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!
