Waiting for Review since July 30, 2026 — Express Evaluations iOS 1.0 (12+ days)

I am also getting a long wait time on each review cycle.

I sent a help ticket regarding the previous stalled review (20000124297320) and I got a response ten days later (after that review cycle had already resolved).

The message stated "review times vary for each app" and that it's "proceeding through the review process".

It seems to take several days to get out of "waiting for review" on each submission.

Thanks for sharing. We're in the same situation — Waiting for Review since July 30 with a status Case open and no movement yet.

Wow, I've been waiting since July 30 too. I think this is the 3rd or 4th post I've seen so far that submitted the same day and are still waiting, maybe we're all in the same cohort?

Thanks, everyone, for sharing. We’re seeing the same long Waiting for Review delays in other threads too.

Quick update on our side:

• We submitted Android and iOS around the same time.
• Android is already live (approved in about 3–4 days).
• iOS version 1.0 is still in "Waiting for Review" with no Resolution Center messages.
• Submitted: July 30, 2026
• App Review Status Case ID: 20000133168856 — still no reply.

If anyone from App Review can check whether our submission is progressing normally, we’d appreciate an update.

Same situation here. Mi Basket, iOS 1.0, submitted August 4, 2026 still "Waiting for Review" a week later, no Resolution Center messages, nothing pending on our side.

Opened an App Review status case as well, no reply yet.

Adding the data point since this increasingly looks like a queue problem rather than anything app-specific: late July and early August submissions all seem to be sitting in the same state, while the Android build of the same app moved along normally.

Same situation — submitted a new app and it took 2 weeks to get a rejection for a small metadata change requiring about 30 minutes and a small change to the binary (adding Citations & References—about 10 minutes). Replied to the Resolution Center next day describing changes made and resubmitted but now at 10 days and waiting. Basically, one rejection now costs 1 month in waiting time. I'd have thought a $5 trillion company could have implemented a better system even with the flood of vibe coding.

I'm in the same boat guys, been waiting over a week now for my latest program. Sadly it's all this AI vibe coded rubbish that seems to have caused these problems. I think Apple needs to pop these through a different approval process.

Hi, I have the same situation. Apple sent me this email when I submited my app: "On average, 50 percent of apps are reviewed in 24 hours and over 90 percent are reviewed in 48 hours. Once we've completed the review, your app's status will be updated and you will be notified."

I opened 2 App Review status cases as well, no reply yet. With google in the play store 0 problems I have my app available yet.

Same here I have also submitted at Date Submitted Aug 1, 2026 but no nothing is happening at all. It's still "Waiting for Review" :(
