Hi all,
It seems like there are a ton of us stuck in a "Waiting for Review" traffic jam, with Apple providing essentially no information on their end. Immensely frustrating.
Given that, would people be up for posting their time submitted and (once they receive a review) editing to include the time it took? It would be good to get a sense of how long everyone is waiting.
I'll go first:
Submitted: October 8
Status: Waiting for review
I'll update this post when I hear back.
We're experiencing the same issue with our app, PriceEasy Enterprise.
Our first production release has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over 4 days, and the review hasn't started yet.
We've already submitted 4–5 expedited review requests and contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times, requesting manual escalation. We've also requested a callback and provided contact details for our CEO and Senior Developer, but unfortunately, we haven't received any response so far.
This delay is directly impacting our business operations and client commitments. Our headquarters is in Houston, Texas, and we serve clients across the US and internationally.
App Details:
Has anyone recently experienced a similar situation? Were you able to get Apple to move the submission into review through any escalation channel?
Any suggestions or help from Apple representatives would be greatly appreciated. We're particularly interested in knowing whether there is a way to reach the App Review Operations team directly.
Thank you!
My app is already live, but the latest update has been stuck in review since 18 October.
With developers flooding the App Store with hundreds of apps for review(I blame Claude ;)), Apple clearly can't keep up with the volume. Their entire developer support system seems to be overwhelmed.
I still have a support ticket open from two months ago regarding a TestFlight issue, and it hasn't even been looked at. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if it's simply been lost in all the noise.
