Hello,
I am posting here to ask whether anyone has recently experienced a similar situation.
My app has remained in “Waiting for Review” for an unusually long time.
Timeline:
The initial submission stayed in “Waiting for Review” for about 10 days
I assumed it might be related to a temporary queue or system issue, so I canceled that submission and resubmitted
The current submission was resubmitted on March 19, 2026
It is still showing “Waiting for Review”
I have contacted Apple through multiple support cases regarding this issue. Some of those cases have not received a response, and despite these inquiries, there has still been no visible review activity.
In addition, I submitted an expedited review request on March 17, 2026. Later, on March 31, 2026, I received a response from Apple Developer Support confirming that the expedited review request had been accepted and that the review should begin shortly.
However, even after that response, the submission still remains in “Waiting for Review,” and there has been no visible change indicating that the actual review has started.
For reference, the related support case IDs are:
102846840976
102853198849
I have also already reviewed and updated the relevant account-side items, including agreements/contracts and related App Store Connect requirements, and I do not see any visible issue on my side.
Current status:
No rejection
No “In Review” status
No visible error in App Store Connect
At this point, I am trying to understand whether:
this is currently a known review queue delay,
it is normal for an accepted expedited review to remain in “Waiting for Review” for this long, or
there may be some hidden submission or account issue that does not appear in App Store Connect.
If anyone has experienced a similar situation recently, I would appreciate hearing whether the review eventually started on its own or whether any additional action was required.
Thank you.
