Hello,
I am looking for guidance on a submission that has been in review for an unusually long time, and to ask whether other developers are seeing the same thing.
App: Kids Coloring & Learning Games Apple ID: 6754971485 Platform: iOS Support case: 20000144299546
Timeline:
14 Aug 2026 — submitted, entered Waiting for Review 14–24 Aug — no movement (10 days), never entered In Review 25 Aug — cancelled and resubmitted the identical build ~3 Sept — entered In Review Today — still In Review
That is 35 days since first submission and about 17 days in In Review.
I have contacted Developer Support and my expedited review request was accepted and confirmed. Despite that, there has been no further movement and no communication. There are no messages in Resolution Center and the review team has not asked me for anything.
This is an update to an app already live on the App Store, in the Kids Category with in-app subscriptions. The build itself is unchanged from a version that was previously approved.
My questions:
Is there a way to find out whether something specific is blocking this review, as opposed to it simply being queued? Are other developers currently seeing extended In Review times, particularly for Kids Category apps with subscriptions? Is there anything further I should do, or is waiting the only option at this point?
I would rather fix a problem on my side than keep waiting if something is actually wrong. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you.
