First iOS app stuck in “Waiting for Review” for 12 days

Hello,

I am experiencing an unusually long wait for the first submission of my iOS app.

App Store Connect details:

Platform: iOS Version: 1.0 First submission for this app First submission for my developer account Current submission date: July 30, 2026 at 21:11 Current status: “Waiting for Review” Apple ID: 1413120388

The submission has now been in “Waiting for Review” for 12 days and has never moved to “In Review”.

There are no messages in the Resolution Center and I have not received any request for additional information.

The previous submission, made on July 28, was removed by me. The current submission is the new submission from July 30.

The app is a fairly complex collaborative social application centered around maps, including shared geo-organizers and collaborative elements.

I understand that review times can vary, especially for a first submission and for a more complex application. I am not requesting an expedited review.

I would simply like to ask whether the current submission is correctly queued for App Review, or whether there might be an issue preventing the review from starting.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I've been waiting exactly the same amount and just made a post too. Just wanted you to know you're not alone, good luck to you!

Mine has been under review for 8 days now. I am wondering the same!
