Resubmitted App Still Waiting for Review for 11 Days After Addressing Rejection Feedback

Hello Apple Developer Community,

I would like to ask for some advice regarding my app review status.

App Name: TopRead
Apple ID: 6787079131
Submission ID: 20c08ed4-8199-43da-9521-02d0a0f735ae

Here is the timeline:

  • July 22: Submitted my app for App Review.
  • July 30: Received a rejection notice from the App Review Team.
  • July 30: Addressed all the issues mentioned in the review feedback and resubmitted the updated version on the same day.
  • Today: It has been 11 days since the resubmission, and the status is still showing "Waiting for Review".

I have also contacted Apple Developer Support regarding this matter (Case ID: 20000122447322). However, the response only mentioned that the app is still waiting in the review queue and did not provide an estimated review timeline.

We fully understand that App Review requires time and follows a standard process. However, this extended waiting period is beginning to significantly impact our business operations, release schedule, and user expectations.

Since we have already addressed the issues from the previous review and submitted the updated version, we would appreciate any advice from the community or Apple team regarding whether this waiting time is normal, or if there are any recommended next steps we should take.

Thank you very much for your time and any guidance you can provide.

Best regards,

TopRead Team

Similar issue, after few days submitted for expedited review. Rejection on expedited review for use of background entitlement. Submitted new build and responded to reviewer with live demo and reason for use of entitlement-- waiting for a few days now.

App has been extensively tested.

I really hope the volume of slop apps aren't negatively affecting review processing and testing for apps specifically designed for Apple using the latest technology, design standards, quality and performance testing.

I even attended in person performance and design events at Dev Center to make sure I got everything right.
