App remained in “Waiting for Review” from November 5 to November 10 — guidance requested

Hello App Review team and fellow developers,

We would appreciate guidance regarding a previous iOS submission that remained in “Waiting for Review” without entering review.

App: GOSH
App Apple ID: 6794188001
Platform: iOS
Version: 2.0.0

Timeline:

  • November 5, 2026: We resubmitted after addressing the previous Guideline 1.1 feedback concerning promotional screenshots.
  • November 5–10: The submission remained in “Waiting for Review.”
  • November 9: We submitted an expedited review request.
  • November 10: We removed the submission to address an ITMS-90683 warning concerning NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription. It was still showing “Waiting for Review” when removed.

The build upload had completed successfully, with ITMS-90683 listed under Warnings.

We understand that review times vary. Could you please clarify:

  1. Can an ITMS-90683 upload warning prevent a successfully processed build from entering review, or lead to rejection during review?
  2. Which support channel should we use to determine whether the previous delay required any additional information or action from us?

We can provide the relevant submission details privately through the appropriate Apple support channel.

Thank you for your guidance.
