Hello Apple App Review Team and fellow developers,

I am an independent developer working on my first public iOS release, Marque: Car Collection, and I am becoming increasingly concerned about the lack of progress and communication regarding my submission.

Submission details:

  • App: Marque: Car Collection
  • Bundle ID: app.marque.collect
  • Version: 1.1.0 (Build 24)
  • Resubmitted: October 14, 2026
  • Current status: Waiting for Review
  • Time waiting: 8 days
  • Submission ID: b37a9421-6980-4708-a396-dd33df072f14

Our previous submission was rejected under Guideline 5.1.2(i), related to App Tracking Transparency.

We addressed the reported issue, implemented the ATT authorization flow, updated our App Privacy disclosures, uploaded a corrected build, and provided detailed Review Notes explaining how to verify the changes.

The current submission also includes our Marque+ monthly and annual subscription products.

Eight days have now passed, and the submission has not moved to “In Review”.

During this period:

  • I contacted Apple Developer Support to ask whether additional information was required.
  • I raised the issue on the Apple Developer Forums.
  • I checked App Store Connect regularly for messages or outstanding actions.

Unfortunately, I have not received a meaningful response or explanation, and no additional information has been requested.

I understand that some submissions require additional verification, particularly first-time releases. I respect the review process and am fully prepared to cooperate with any requirements.

However, the lack of communication makes it extremely difficult to plan a release or understand whether the submission is progressing normally.

Could someone from the Apple App Review team please clarify:

  1. Is this submission correctly queued for review?
  2. Is there any outstanding issue or verification requirement that has not been communicated?
  3. Can the current submission or existing support request be escalated for a status check?
  4. Is any further action required from my side?

I am not requesting an exception to the App Review Guidelines. I am simply asking for visibility into the status of a submission that has remained untouched for more than a week.

I would sincerely appreciate a response from an Apple representative.

Thank you,
Marque Development Team

Since the resubmission includes the monthly and annual subscriptions too, check that both IAP items are attached to the current submission and have complete metadata and review information. For the 5.1.2(i) fix, test on a fresh install that the ATT prompt appears before any tracking starts, and make sure the App Privacy answers match the SDKs and data flows in this build. In Review Notes, give the exact steps to reach the consent prompt and explain what happens if the user declines.

If those checks are clear and App Store Connect shows no action needed, keep the current submission in the queue. Follow up once on the existing support case with this submission ID and build 24, asking whether anything is incomplete or if they need more information. I wouldn’t withdraw and resubmit just to try to move it along.
