First App Store release stuck in “Waiting for Review” over 120 hours

Hi Apple Developer Community,

Our first iOS release (Version 1.0) has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since August 7 with no status change.

We have already submitted an expedited review request due to a critical, time-sensitive business need this week.

We have also tried contacting Apple Developer Support through multiple channels. We requested a phone callback but have been waiting for over six hours without being connected, and we have not yet been able to reach the support team.

Could someone from Apple please advise whether there may be an issue with the submission, or whether there is any additional action we should take to help move the review forward?

Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

+1. I've had a very similar experience and under a similar deadline.
