Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here has seen something similar, or maybe someone from the App Review team can shed some light on this.

I have a small game, Cryospire, that shipped as 1.0 earlier this year. App ID is 6794310965, bundle ID com.janewilliams.cryospire.

I submitted version 1.1 on August 12, 2026 at 9:34 AM, and it went into “In Review” at 11:19 AM the same day. At the time I thought that was a good sign, but it’s now September 2 and the status hasn’t changed since. So it’s been sitting in review for 21 days.

I’ve checked the Resolution Center and there are no messages or open threads. I’ve also checked my email (including spam) and haven’t received anything from App Review.

The update itself isn’t a major technical change from 1.0. Same entitlements, no new permissions, no new SDKs. It’s mainly new features.

Has anyone else had a build stay “In Review” for three weeks recently? I’m trying to figure out if this is just an unusually long review or if the submission might be stuck somewhere.

Also, is there any way to reach an actual person about this besides the regular Contact Us form?

And if someone from App Review happens to see this, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a look at the App ID above.

Thanks!

It isn't an unusually long review in comparison with the other people who post reports about unusually long review times. People who aren't having long review times obviously aren't complaining about it.

Apple is now using AI in some respect with the App Review process. Primarily this impacts new enrolments and people with new apps and multiple rejections. But lately, I've seen a few reports of people with established apps that are suddenly thrust onto the "slow queue".

I don't have any other information.
