App Stuck in "Waiting for Review" for Over 3 Weeks After Re-Submission

Hello,

My app was reviewed and rejected on June 26, 2026 (3:48 PM). I fixed every issue mentioned by the App Review team and submitted a new build.

After about one week, the app was still stuck in "Waiting for Review" and had never moved to "In Review." Thinking there might have been an issue with the submission itself, I canceled it and submitted it again.

Submission ID: 0e03f336-27f3-42d0-9d15-a0df4e8ac77a

Unfortunately, even after re-submitting, the app is still in "Waiting for Review", and I haven't received any communication explaining the delay.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? If so, how did you get the review process moving again?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,

I'm experiencing a similar issue again, but this time with a different app.

The app was reviewed once and rejected. I fixed all of the issues mentioned by the App Review team and submitted a new build. Since then, the app has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for almost a week and has never moved to "In Review."

App details:

App ID: id6789958429

Resubmission Date: July 18

Submission ID: 6f1d7bb3-1b5a-4866-95a9-61c3ce52357e

Thank you for your help.

We are experiencing a very similar situation with DoggyRadar (Apple App ID 6802055069), version 1.0.1215. Our current production submission was submitted on October 7, 2026 at 1:52 p.m. and is still in “Waiting for Review” without any request for additional information or a Resolution Center message.

Our submission history also contains earlier attempts dated August 21, August 26, September 29, and October 7 at 1:20 p.m. Those attempts were removed while we updated our production servers and synchronized the iOS release with the newer backend and Android version, because we wanted to avoid releasing an iOS build that could be incompatible with the production environment. None of those attempts resulted in a completed App Review decision visible in our submission history.

The current submission ID is c02da663-04d6-4890-a9fa-43a15b5dd20d. We have contacted Apple Developer Support, but so far we have not received a substantive explanation or confirmation that anything is missing. We are not withdrawing the current submission again.

If anyone has found a reliable way to confirm whether a submission is affected by a queue or routing issue, please share what worked. We would also appreciate confirmation from App Review that the production submission is correctly queued and whether any action is required from us.

Same. Looking around the forum it looks this is a huge problem. Apps actually getting reviewed seems like the exception now.
