Hello,

I'm looking for guidance on a submission that has been sitting in review without an update.

Platform: iOS App ID: 6800884404 Submitted: September 27, 2026 Current status: In Review Submission ID: 816d85a4-cc25-451a-baad-2641ba99bc61 Version: 1.0.43 (49)

It has now been 5 days in "In Review". There are no outstanding requests for information in my App Store Connect App Review section, and no messages from the review team since the status changed. The reply option on the submission thread is not available while the submission is in review, so I have no way to ask there.

Is this expected right now, or is there something I should do on my side?

Thank you.

Same here. It has been about six weeks since my first submission and the app is still not through. There is also no way to reach the review team while a submission is In Review - the reply option on the thread is disabled, and the Contact Us form has no option that fits "stuck in review". One thing worth checking if you haven't: in Business, open your legal entity and look for pending actions. If agreements show "Pending (New Legal Entity)", which happens after an account type change, submissions can sit without any message explaining why. Nothing in App Store Connect flags it as blocking.
