Waiting for Review for 8 days, have a crash-fix build ready; replace the build or wait it out?

App: Halo Safe Apple ID: 6756702314 Platform: iOS Submitted: July 27, 2026 Status: Waiting for Review (8 full days)

My update has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" since July 27, 8 days now, well past the typical turnaround and past every previous review of this app (usually within a day or two).

I've checked App Store Connect and can't find anything on my end holding it up: no Developer Action Needed items, no pending agreements, no metadata or export compliance flags, and no leftover open submission blocking the queue.

Meanwhile, it's got more complicated: while this has been waiting, I've prepared another build with bug fixes for crashes some users are hitting on their devices in the current live version. So the stuck submission is now also blocking crash fixes.

Any thoughts?
