My first app submission has been in "Waiting for Review" for seven days with no status change and no communication from App Review.
App: ForensicCrash Apple ID: 6796457936 Platform: iOS Version: 1.0 (build 8) Submitted: Aug 10, 2026 at 4:55 PM Submission ID: 305f86f9-8263-4e20-b908-825c26395103
The submission contains three items, all showing Waiting for Review: the app version, the subscription group (ForensicCrash Membership), and one auto-renewable subscription (Expert Annual).
There is no rejection, no request for additional information, and nothing in the Resolution Center. Paid Apps and Free Apps agreements are Active, bank account is Active, and the W-9 is Active. Metadata, age rating, privacy labels, and export compliance are complete. Review notes include a working demo account, and the build has been running without issue.
This is an initial release from a new organization account. Is there anything on my side holding this in the queue, or is this current backlog? Any guidance appreciated.
Two notes on the mechanics. Open a Developer Support case first if you haven't — then add "Developer Support case number: 20000139746956" as the last line before the closing question, since posts carrying a case number tend to get picked up faster. And resist the urge to add anything about the delay being unacceptable or your launch timeline being at risk; the posts that draw the "we're investigating and will contact you in App Store Connect" reply read exactly like the above — flat, complete, easy to act on.
