Resubmitted after fixing Guideline 2.1, still Waiting for Review

Hello, Our first submission was previously reviewed and we received feedback under Guideline 2.1 because the reviewer was unable to access the app due to a forced update issue.

We fixed the issue completely, uploaded a new build, and resubmitted on Friday. The submission has now been in Waiting for Review for approximately 4–5 days with no further messages or requests.

Could someone please confirm that the submission is correctly queued and that nothing else is required from our side?

App: KIBAKI: Persian Community

Submission ID: d1f921a3-9001-4ef2-a392-657860c437cd Current status: Waiting for Review

Thank you.

Another developer here, not Apple, so I can't see the queue. But you can confirm the two things that matter yourself:

  1. The resubmission carries the new build. The version page's Build section should show the new build number. Over the API: GET /v1/appStoreVersions/{versionId}/build. Worth reading back even if you are sure you attached it; the attach call (PATCH .../relationships/build) answers 204 whether or not it took.
  2. The submission is queued. GET /v1/reviewSubmissions/{submissionId}?fields[reviewSubmissions]=state should read WAITING_FOR_REVIEW, and the version's appStoreState the same. After a rejection, the resubmission reuses the rejected submission's id, so seeing the old id there is expected. If a second, empty submission shows up under Draft Submissions, that is a stray container from an earlier attempt; remove it there.

If both read that way, nothing else is needed from your side; the next state is IN_REVIEW.

One more thing to check while you wait: which inbox review mail actually goes to (Users and Access → your user → Notifications, plus the Account Holder's address). On one of our apps the verdict went to a mailbox nobody read, and we saw REJECTED in the API four days before anyone saw the email.

Good Luck! Im still waiting since 12 September…! App ID: 6747684577
