Hi all, Like others my app submission has been stuck in “waiting for review” for weeks. I know initial app reviews take longer than updates, but this has been delayed far too long and makes me concerned about repeating the process in the future. I submitted this app for review back on Feb 10. It was initially rejected for a minor issue, which I resolved and resubmitted the same day. After that, the build remained in “Waiting for Review” for about two weeks with no further communication. At that point I canceled the submission and resubmitted the build, thinking it may have been stuck in the queue (I now know not to do this next time). Unfortunately the new submission has also been waiting for review for another 9 days now with no messages or updates. I’ve contacted app review support as well (case ID- 102826632729). I understand review times can vary, but delays like this make it difficult for developers to plan launches or push updates when the review process is the only path to distributing apps. As paying members of the Apple Developer Program, we rely heavily on this pipeline functioning reliably. Hoping this post will reach someone from Apple who can help move the process along. If any other devs have suggestions/tips that have worked for them, please share so others in this position can become unblocked. Thanks in advance.

Hello, My app "Zen Mahjong!" has been stuck in the App Review process for an unusually long time and I’m trying to understand if something might be wrong with the submission. Timeline: First submission entered “In Review” and stayed there for 6 days without a decision. I rejected that build, uploaded a new build and resubmitted on February 17. Since then the app has been in “Waiting for Review” for more than 3 weeks. Additional context: App size ~40 MB Only IAP is a “Remove Ads” purchase I already contacted Developer Support and opened an expedited review request. Support also mentioned that this delay seems unusual. Has anyone experienced something similar or could this indicate that the submission is stuck in the review pipeline? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My app (GoreMade Fit, App ID 6758867367) has been repeatedly rejected because the review team reports "Invalid login credentials" when attempting to sign in with the demo account I provided. I have verified the following on my end: The demo account exists in Supabase Auth and the email is confirmed The password has been reset and tested — sign-in succeeds every time from my devices, Postman, and programmatically via the Supabase JS client (both service role and anon key) The account is not banned, rate-limited, or locked No MFA is enabled The account has a valid profile, active subscription, and assigned content Login works with both lowercase and uppercase email variations The Supabase project is on a paid plan with no regional restrictions The app uses standard Supabase signInWithPassword for email/password authentication. There is no geo-blocking, VPN restriction, or IP-based filtering. The screenshot Apple provided shows the login screen with the correct email entered and the error "Invalid login credentials" displayed — which is the standard Supabase error for an incorrect password. I have since reset the password again and confirmed it works. Is there a known issue with Apple review devices and Supabase authentication? Could the review team be encountering a network or DNS issue when connecting to Supabase endpoints? Any guidance on how to resolve this would be appreciated. I am considering adding a demo mode that bypasses authentication entirely for the review process. Environment: iOS 18.5 SDK Supabase Auth (email/password) React Native / Expo That said, honestly the most reliable fix is to add a demo mode button on the login screen. Many developers who've been stuck in this loop say that's what finally got them through. Want me to write a prompt for your Vibecode AI to add a "Demo Mode" button?

Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with my app submission being stuck in “Waiting for Review.” I initially submitted my app on 21 February and waited until 27 February, but the review process did not start and there were no updates. On 27 February, I contacted Apple Support regarding this issue, but I did not receive any response. Since there was still no progress, on 4 March I removed the app from review and resubmitted it again, but it is still showing “Waiting for Review.” This delay is affecting my operations, so I would really appreciate any guidance or help if someone has experienced a similar situation. App ID: 6741708449 Thank you.

One of my apps has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” for the past 21 days. App ID: 6758734829. I have contacted other support channels over the past few weeks but have not received any response. I also have three additional apps, App IDs 6758755469, 6759047311, and 6759095185, that have been in review for the last 14 days. All of these apps have already been live on the Google Play Store for months. I am trying to launch them on the App Store so I can move forward with my marketing plans. I kindly request Apple to review these submissions and help resolve whatever is causing the delay.

Hello, I’m experiencing a delay with the App Store review process and wanted to check if this is normal. My app was initially approved very quickly (within a few hours after submission). However, shortly after that I noticed a few minor UI bugs, so I fixed them and submitted a new build. The new version has now been waiting for review for about 5 days, and there has been no update since submission. I also want to mention that I have already contacted Apple Developer Support twice about this issue but have not yet received any response. Previously the review happened very quickly, so I’m wondering if something might be wrong with the submission or if this delay is expected.

Hello Apple Developer Support, My app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since February 7, and I have submitted multiple inquiries without receiving any response. This delay has now become extremely concerning. Missing a planned launch due to an indefinite review timeline is very difficult for independent developers. If there is an issue with the submission, I would appreciate clear communication. If there are review delays, transparency would help us plan accordingly. I respect the review process, but the lack of updates after this amount of time is frustrating. I would sincerely appreciate clarification on the status. I kindly ask for a specific and personalized response regarding my case, as my previous inquiries received only general or automated replies without addressing the actual issue. Apple ID: 6758804549 Thank you.

Our app, BeeBot (app ID 6451085742) has been in review since January 26th. We've done the following: Submitted a support ticket (no answer) Requested expedited review (no response, expedited review window came and went) Called support (no help, just told us to wait) This is an just an update, not a new app submission. I've been doing iOS dev for over 10 years and I never have seen review times this long. There's been no communication from Apple. What's going on?

Hello everyone, I’m currently experiencing a very long review time and wanted to ask for your advice or hear about your experiences. I submitted my two apps for their initial release 23 days ago. Ever since then, they have been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status. Yesterday, I realized that my "Paid Apps Agreement" and Tax Forms (W-8BEN, etc.) were incomplete in App Store Connect. I immediately filled them out, and now all my banking, tax, and agreement statuses are successfully marked as "Active". My questions to the community are: Since the agreements are now active, will my apps automatically fall into the review queue, or do I need to trigger something? I submitted an "App Review Status" contact form to Apple Support today. Should I just wait for their response, or is it better to "Remove from Review" and resubmit them? (I am afraid of losing my place in the queue). Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Best, Berkay

Hello, My app has been in “Waiting for Review” since Feb 13. I’ve contacted Apple Support via Contact Us but received no response. Any advice on how to escalate would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I’m facing an unusually long app review delay and would appreciate any insight from the community. My app has been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status since February 10, 2026, with no updates or feedback. App details: App ID: 6756574744 Case Number: 102824473424 During this time, I have: Submitted several support requests Filed multiple expedited review requests Tried contacting through email and the support section Attempted to follow up on the case status Despite all of these efforts, I have not received any response, acknowledgment, or update regarding its review progress. I understand that review times can vary, and delays sometimes happen. What concerns me more is the complete lack of communication. At this point, it feels like the app might be stuck in the queue. Has anyone else experienced long "Waiting for Review" times recently? Is there anything else I can do to get clarification or make sure the submission is not blocked for some reason? Thanks in advance for any insight!

Hello everyone, My app has been in “Waiting for Review” status since February 4, 2026, and there has been no progress or update since then. Normally, my previous submissions were reviewed within a few days, but this time it has been significantly delayed. There are no messages in the Resolution Center, and I have not received any communication from the App Review team. Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently? Is there anything I can do to follow up or escalate this review? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, it's been almost 3 days since I submitted an app update for review. Is anyone else also experiencing such a long waiting for review time ? It's the first time in years this has happened

Hello, I have submitted two applications to App Review and would like to request a status update, as both have been waiting for review longer than expected. App 1 Name: OrbitGoals Submission Date: Tuesday at 4:11 PM App 2 Name: Healthoria: Health Diary Submission Date: [Feb, 5 at 7:01 PM] Both apps are currently waiting for review, and I would appreciate any information regarding their status or if additional action is required from my side. Thank you for your time and assistance.

I’m sharing my situation in case others have experienced something similar. I initially submitted my app for review on February 4, and it remained in “Waiting for Review” for over 12 days without any feedback or request for additional information. I also sent a message through App Store Connect on February 11, but did not receive a response. To help move things forward, I’ve now resubmitted an updated build with clearer onboarding, improved permission explanations, and some minor UI improvements. I included detailed notes for the reviewer explaining the changes. I’m staying patient and cooperative, but I wanted to ask if others have encountered similar delays recently, and whether resubmitting helped unblock the review. Thanks in advance for any insights 🙂

After migrating our app to a new developer account, newly uploaded builds can't be selected during App Store submission. The old (expired) builds from the previous account still appear selectable, but not the new ones. Build is signed with the correct new team certificates, export compliance is set, version numbers match. Has anyone else experienced this post-migration? Support case open with Apple (102823632970) but no response after 6 days.

Hello, My new app has remained in the "Waiting for Review" status for an extended period. I initially submitted it on January 23, 2026. After several days without any progress, I submitted an inquiry on January 27 but have not yet received a response. On February 1, I canceled and resubmitted the app, wondering if there might have been an issue with the review queue, but it still remains in the "Waiting for Review" state. I had scheduled my marketing activities based on the typical review timeframe, but since the review has not started and there is no indication of how much longer the wait will be, it has been difficult to adjust my plans accordingly. If anyone has experienced a similar issue and managed to resolve it, I would greatly appreciate any insights you could share. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a great day.

I am trying to submit my app for review but when I click on the 'add to review' button, I am getting the message: Unable to Add for Review The items below are required to start the review process: There are still screenshot uploads in progress. However, there is nothing I am uploading... I tried removing all screenshots, nothing works. It has been 4 days, I cant update my app on the app store... impossible to get any response from Apple... Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Apple Staff and Community, An important update for my app has been unexpectedly stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 9 days (submitted on February 9th). This is not a new app, but an update to an existing one. • App ID: 6756239914 We have an active marketing campaign tied to this specific update. Deadlines are failing, leading to daily financial losses. I already submitted an Expedited Review request through the Contact Us form but have received absolutely no response or movement. Could an Apple representative please help investigate if this update is stuck due to a system glitch and escalate it to the review team? Thank you.
