App review reviewed one app then rejected another

Hello App Review team, I'm hoping you can help with what looks like an inconsistent product state on an auto-renewable subscription, rather than a normal review delay. Details: App ID: 6459996442 Subscription products: 6762844313, 6762844514, 6762844429, 6762844600 Submitted: April 21, 2026 (~1 month ago) Support case ID: 102899130307 The issue: the subscription product has shown "In Review" for over 31 days, while the product's own localization (the display name) shows "Waiting for Review" for that same product. The two statuses have diverged and neither has moved since. On top of that, the product is locked — I'm unable to edit or delete it while it's in this state. — It is currently attached to version 1.19.0 of the app, which is ready to release and has been approved by App Review. — It no longer appears in the In-App Purchases section of my current version submission, so I'm unable to re-attach or resubmit it. This matches a pattern other developers have described, where a subscription falls into a stuck state that can only be cleared from Apple's side. I'd prefer not to remove and resubmit, since I understand that can reset the queue without fixing the underlying state. Could you please: Confirm whether the products are genuinely in the review queue or in an inconsistent state, and If it is stuck, reset the products back to "Ready to Submit" or "Approved" so I can resubmit and release cleanly. I'm happy to provide any additional information you need. Thank you very much for your time and help. @App Review

Hello, I am writing to politely ask for guidance regarding my app, which has been in "In Review" status for approximately 8 days, with no communication from the review team during that time. Submission details: App name: Cromos 2026 Apple ID: 6770304986 Build: 1.0 (4) Submission ID: 8413f01b-8946-450a-b25b-b8eca2e6c70b Submitted: May 19, 2026 In review since: May 20, 2026 Context: This is a resubmission addressing a previous rejection under guideline 5.2.1. I provided a detailed response in the Resolution Center at the time of resubmission, summarizing all the changes made to address the trademark concerns. I noticed that while the app is in review, the reply field in the Resolution Center is unavailable, which is why I am posting here. I am not requesting an expedited review — I just want to make sure my submission is being tracked and to check whether there is any additional information or clarification I can provide to help the review proceed. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hello! It's been 7 days since I received any response to the application I listed. I also wrote to support and still haven't received any response. I hope that someone from Apple will see this and help me approve the applications. Thank you! App ID: 6770487788 App ID: 6770216468

Hello Apple App Review Team and Developer Community, I’m looking for help with an in-app purchase review issue. My app is already live, but my in-app purchases have been stuck in “In Review” for weeks with no updates. App details: App ID: 6759992867 IAP Type: Non-consumable Current IAP status: In Review What I already checked: Paid Applications Agreement: Active Banking and Tax: Complete IAP metadata/localization/screenshots: Complete Cleared for Sale: Enabled Resolution Center: No outstanding messages Impact: Users can download the app, but cannot access paid features because the IAP products are still unavailable. Could someone from App Review please check whether these IAPs are stuck in an internal queue and advise next steps or help escalate? Thank you.

Hello, My app DramaTales - Watch Drama Reels (Apple ID: 6762190227) seems to be stuck in the App Review process and I'd like to check if something might be wrong with my submission. Timeline: Submission for review: May 20, 2026 Current status: Waiting for Review Waiting time: 9 days as of May 28, 2026 My app reviews are typically approved within 1-2 business days, so I suppose this delay seems to be unusual. Please help review this submission as soon as possible! I have a timeline for publishing app version that cannot be delayed for this long. Any guidance would be very appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi, My app was rejected on May 24 with guideline violations 2.3.10 and 1.1. I fixed both issues and resubmitted the same day. It's now been 4+ days and the status is still "Waiting for Review" with no movement. This update also includes a critical bug fix that needs to reach users as soon as possible. I submitted two expedited review requests — no response. Contacted Developer Support as well — case ID 102900051339, also no response yet. Is this normal after a rejection + resubmit, or is something stuck on the review side?

Hello, I am posting here after exhausting the official support channels available to developers, in the hope that someone from Apple can help review our case internally. I have also confirmed several other developers reporting the exact same situation on this forum within the past 7 days, and I would like to flag this as a broader pattern rather than an isolated incident. Summary of our situation: We submitted a critical app update that requires both a build review and an In-App Purchase review to go live. We filed an Expedited Review Request for the build, and the build review itself has been approved without issue — every expedited request we submitted for the build was accepted. However, the In-App Purchase items associated with this update remain in review and have not been processed, which means the update cannot actually be released to users despite the build being cleared. To our knowledge, there is no expedited review process available for In-App Purchases. This appears to be a structural gap: the build can be fast-tracked, but the IAPs that the build depends on cannot. What we have already tried: Submitted the Expedited Review Request for the build 2–3 times, each time including a detailed explanation in the request notes asking that the associated In-App Purchases also be reviewed alongside the build. The build was approved; the IAPs were not addressed. Sent inquiries through both available email contact channels for App Review / Developer Support. No substantive response so far. As an additional attempt, we added a test IAP item and used its review notes field to write a detailed explanation of the situation, politely requesting that the IAP review be picked up. Still no movement. Where this leaves us: The build is ready and approved, our team has done everything that the documented process allows, but the release is fully blocked on IAP review with no available escalation channel. Time-sensitive update content cannot reach our users, and we have no visibility into when, or whether, the IAP review will proceed. Within just the past 7 days, I have seen multiple posts on this forum describing the exact same pattern — build approved (often via expedited review), IAPs left pending, and no documented way to escalate the IAP side. Some of those threads were eventually resolved only after Apple staff intervened directly on the forum. What I am asking for: Could someone from Apple please check internally whether our pending IAP submissions can be routed for review, given that the corresponding build has already been approved through expedited review? More broadly, is there any official guidance on how developers should handle the case where a build is approved expeditedly but its associated IAPs are blocked with no expedited path of their own? I am happy to provide our Team ID, app identifier, and the specific submission references through a private channel. Thank you very much for your time, and apologies for the long post — I tried to lay out the full timeline so anyone looking into this has the complete picture.

Hi everyone, Our app (version 1.0, first-time submission) has been in "Waiting for Review" status since May 8, 2026 — it has now been 20 days with no movement to "In Review". Some context: This is an educational app built to support our language education center's daily operations (attendance, assignments, learning progress, and internal management for students, teachers, and staff). The submitted build is complete and ready for review. Demo account credentials are provided in App Review Information and are active. Our backend services are stable and accessible for testing at any time. What I've already tried: Opened a support case and received responses confirming the submission is in queue and that reviewers have been notified. Submitted an expedited review request, which was accepted — but the status has not changed. Followed up multiple times, but the most recent replies have been identical template responses with no specific update. I understand review times can vary, but 20 days significantly exceeds the typical 24–48 hour window. I've also noticed several recent forum posts describing similar extended delays, so I'm wondering whether this is part of a broader issue or something specific to my submission. Has anyone experienced similar delays recently? Are there any additional steps I could take, or any insight from the App Review team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, Is anyone currently having issues with App Store review submissions or missing confirmation emails? My app was stuck in review for about 2 weeks, and I never received the usual “Thanks for submitting your app” email. I removed the submission and submitted again, but still no confirmation email. Has anyone experienced this recently?

To the App Store Review and Developer Support Teams, I am reaching out via this forum as a last resort because my communication through standard support channels has been entirely ignored, causing significant disruption to my business. The Timeline of the Issue: May 16: I submitted 5 In-App Purchases (IAPs) with version 2.0. While 2 were approved, 3 were rejected. I immediately resubmitted them for review on the same day. May 21: Version 2.0.1 was approved, but the 3 IAPs remained "Under Review." May 25: Version 2.0.2 was approved. I specifically included a Note to the Reviewer explaining that the IAPs were stuck, but this was completely disregarded. The Bottleneck: It has been 12 days since the resubmission. I have opened multiple support cases to resolve this, yet I have received no response or actionable feedback from the support team. This lack of communication and the extreme delay in IAP synchronization is creating a broken experience for my users and causing financial loss. Reference Information: App ID: 6744109858 Current App Version: 2.0.2 Related Case IDs: 102900240277, 102896872200, 102896192600 I request an immediate investigation into why these IAPs are stuck and why my support cases are being ignored. I am looking for a direct resolution from an Apple representative. Regards,

To the App Review and Developer Support Teams, I am writing this post to bring an ongoing and critical issue to your attention, as standard support channels have failed to provide any resolution or clear communication. Issue Summary: My application’s last two versions have been successfully reviewed and approved. However, three In-App Purchases remain stuck in the review process. Lack of Communication: I have opened several support cases regarding this delay, yet I have received no response or actionable feedback. The lack of synchronization between the App Review and Support teams is causing significant operational disruptions. The current communication gap and the slow response times are directly impacting my business and user experience. Impact: It is unacceptable to have a live application with "Pending" monetization features for such an extended period. This delay is causing financial loss and preventing my users from accessing the services they need. Request: I request an immediate update on the status of these IAPs and a clarification on why the support cases remain unanswered. I am looking for a direct escalation or a response from an Apple representative who can resolve this bottleneck. App ID: 6744109858 Related Case IDs: 102900240277 102896872200 102896192600 I look forward to a prompt resolution. Sincerely

Hello App Review Team, My app update has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 8+ days with no progress. Previous submissions for this app were reviewed within 24–48 hours, so this delay is unusual. Apple ID: 1666011539 Bundle ID: art.dreamerai.ios Version: 1.62.0 Submitted: May 20, 2026 Status: Waiting for Review We have already tried every available channel: 2 Expedited Review requests submitted — both ignored, no progress Emailed App Review asking for status — no reply This is a major update with critical bug fixes and major new features that our existing users are actively asking about. Our marketing campaign around the launch has already been delayed because of this hold. The build is fully compliant with the Review Guidelines — no new entitlements, no new SDKs, no changes to data collection. Happy to provide any additional info needed. Any help from the App Review team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, My app submission has been waiting for review for an unusually long time after submission. This update is very important for us because it is related to payments. At the moment, a payment-related issue is preventing us from properly collecting revenue, so this is becoming a critical problem for our business. I submitted a request for an expedited review, but so far I have not received any action or update. I do not use the expedited review option often - only when there is a genuinely critical issue that needs to be resolved quickly. Could someone from Apple advise whether this waiting time is normal, or if there is anything I should check or do on my side? I can provide the Submission ID privately if needed. Thank you.

Hello App Review Team, I am following up on my earlier post about our app (App ID: 6761247061), as our situation has unfortunately not improved. Our app was finally reviewed on May 22 and rejected under Guideline 2.1(a). We resolved the issue on the same day and resubmitted, but the resubmission has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" again for several business days with no progress. Due to these repeated delays, we have been unable to release a new version of our app to our users for nearly three weeks. If there is anything we are missing, or any issue with our submission that we should address, we sincerely ask for your guidance. We are fully committed to complying with the Review Guidelines and resolving any concerns you may have. Any guidance from your team would mean so much to us. Thank you so much for your time and patience.

Hello, My app was submitted for review last week, but it is still showing the status Waiting for Review and has not moved into the review process yet. App details: App ID: 6751946791 Current status: Waiting for Review Submission time: Last week Additional context: Due to a time-sensitive launch schedule, I have submitted several expedited review requests, but the app status has not changed. I would like to ask: Could submitting multiple expedited review requests affect the normal review queue or delay the review process? Does staying in Waiting for Review for this long indicate any possible issue with the submission, metadata, account status, or review queue? If further follow-up is needed, should I contact the App Review team through the App Review contact form? Any guidance from Apple or developers with similar experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Apple App Review Team, I am writing to urgently request your assistance regarding our application 'Kavra'. We are facing a critical situation that is heavily impacting our entire launch roadmap and user base. To give you the timeline: we initially submitted the app for review on April 30th. After waiting for two full weeks without any updates or status changes, we assumed there might be a technical stall in the review pipeline. Consequently, we canceled the submission and resubmitted the app on May 14th. Today is May 27th, and the application has been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status for another 13 days. In total, we have been locked in the review queue for nearly a month. This prolonged delay has completely frozen our development cycle and disrupted our time-sensitive marketing plans. We have thoroughly audited our app against all App Store Review Guidelines and confirm 100% compliance. There should be no blockers from our end. If you require any additional information, test accounts, or documentation to move this forward, please let me know immediately. We kindly request you to look into our account for any technical glitches and expedite the review process. Thank you very much for your time, understanding, and support. Sincerely, [Bora Çoban]

I submitted my application on April 30th, and they responded with various errors. I fixed each one and resubmitted it, but I received no response until May 14th. Thinking it might be stuck in their system, I canceled the process and resubmitted it, but it's still pending review after 13 days. In short, I haven't received a response from Apple for a month. I leave a callback, they call back, I wait an hour, and no one gets through. It's a terrible customer support system.

My app "Fun Games - Mini Offline Games" (ID: 6761358642) has been in "Waiting for Review" for over a month. Apple Support told me on May 19 it was being expedited, but there's been no change for 8 days since. This is delaying our marketing campaign and causing financial loss. Could the App Review team please investigate or reach out? Thank you.
