Hello,
I currently have two apps submitted for App Store review, and both have remained in “Waiting for Review” for an unusually long time without moving to “In Review.”
In the past, my submissions have generally moved through the review process much faster, so having two separate apps waiting at the same time for this long seems unusual.
There are no messages from App Review, no requests for additional information, and as far as I can see, there are no actions required from my side in App Store Connect. Both submissions simply remain in “Waiting for Review.”
I’ve also noticed several recent posts from other developers reporting similar delays, so I’m wondering whether there is currently a larger backlog affecting App Review.
Has anyone else experienced unusually long review times over the past few days?
Is there anything we should do when an app remains in “Waiting for Review” for an extended period, or is it better to simply leave the submissions untouched and wait for the review queue to move?
I understand that review times can vary and that the App Review team handles a large number of submissions. I’m mainly concerned that the two submissions may have become stuck in the queue.
Any information from Apple or experiences from other developers would be appreciated.
Thank you.
