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 (update to an existing live app)

Submitted: July 27, 2026

Status: Waiting for Review (8 days as of August 4)

My update has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" since July 27, 8 full 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 that I can see.

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

I'm worried that If I resubmit it's going to take even longer to get the first batch of updates through. Anyone have any thoughts? How I can get some information?

Was reviewed this morning, no problems. Queue times are just very long at the moment I guess.
