Two New Apps Stuck on “Waiting for Review” for More Than 7 Days After Rejection Fixes

Hello everyone,

I submitted two completely new apps to the App Store on the same day. Both apps were initially rejected, and I addressed the issues identified by the App Review team and resubmitted them.

However, both submissions have now remained in “Waiting for Review” for more than seven days.

I have already contacted Apple Support regarding the delay, but I would appreciate hearing from other developers who may have experienced a similar situation.

My questions are:

  1. Has anyone recently experienced this kind of delay with first-time app submissions?
  2. How long did it take for your apps to move from “Waiting for Review” to “In Review”?
  3. Is there anything else I should do, or is it better to leave both submissions in the queue?

I would prefer not to withdraw the submissions and upload new builds unless there is a genuine reason to do so.

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
