Hi everyone,
I submitted an app update for review on July 16, and the status has been stuck at "Waiting for Review" for a full week now (7 days and counting). The app is not in a sensitive category (not health, finance, VPN, or gambling related), and there are no legal or export compliance issues that I'm aware of.
A bit of background:
- App type: update (not a new app)
- Submission date: July 16, 2026
- Apple Developer Program membership: active and in good standing
- No messages in Resolution Center or App Store Connect inbox
- No changes made to the submission during this period (no metadata edits, no new builds uploaded)
I understand review times can fluctuate, but 7+ days in "Waiting for Review" — not even "In Review" — without any communication seems unusually long, especially for a routine update.
Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently? Is there anything suggested beyond withdrawing and resubmitting (which I'd like to avoid)?
Thanks in advance!
