Yet Another iOS App Stuck in Waiting for Review
We re-submitted our iOS app (Apple ID 6816000449 ) on 2026-11-09. The submission confirmation email says: 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. It's been 28 days since our initial submission on October 14, and we're still struggling to move forward with the App Review process. We've submitted several times, contacted Apple Support via email without receiving a response, and tried scheduling a Meet with Apple appointment. Unfortunately, every available session is fully booked. Our latest submission (iOS 1.4.0) is still Waiting for Review. Apple ID 6816000449 Can Apple please provide: A reasonable estimate of when our current submission will be reviewed? Clarification on whether anything is preventing our app from progressing? Assistance in escalating our case or arranging a direct conversation with the App Review team? It's been four weeks of trying to move forward without clear guidance. Can we please get some assistance with our review? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Unbelievable: 2 App Store rejections, ZERO uses of our app's main feature. What would you do - appeal or resubmit?
I'm genuinely at a loss with Apple's App Review process. Our backend records show that across BOTH reviews, Apple's reviewers did not complete a SINGLE use of our app's core functionality. Not once. ZERO completed generations. For the latest review, our logs confirm Apple successfully logged in, but recorded ZERO generation requests and ZERO credits consumed. This isn't some minor feature. It's the entire foundation of our app. Our app fundamentally changes and becomes personalised as it's used. Without completing that process, you're essentially judging an incomplete product. Submission ID: 6a126514-9bb6-4d91-923c-bf29aacb1b68 Here's why this is so frustrating. We spent months deliberately building an app that offers functionality and a user experience fundamentally different from existing competitors. This wasn't another copycat app - avoiding that was central to its design from day one. We explained these differences extensively in our App Review notes. Yet Apple has rejected us TWICE under Guideline 4.3(b) — Design Spam. We even provided a narrated walkthrough demonstrating exactly what makes our app unique. Our video analytics show ZERO views. So we're being rejected for supposedly lacking originality, despite neither review producing a completed use of our main feature and no recorded views of our demonstration. After both rejections, we've received nothing but generic responses telling us to improve the app, without identifying a single specific problem. How are independent developers supposed to fix something when Apple won't explain what's wrong? We've now filed a formal appeal, which could take a month, with no visible queue position, progress updates or estimated timeframe. Meanwhile, we've already missed multiple planned marketing opportunities, and waiting could mean missing even more. We're not asking for guaranteed approval. We're asking for a fair review of what we've actually built. Has anyone else experienced this? What would you do? Wait for the appeal, hoping the App Review Board properly evaluates the app, even if it takes another month and we miss more deadlines? Withdraw the appeal and resubmit, hoping for a different reviewer, but risking another rejection without proper testing and further warnings against our developer account? I'd genuinely appreciate advice from anyone who's experienced something similar, especially those who've successfully appealed a 4.3(b) rejection. At this point, I genuinely don't know whether this is a reviewer misunderstanding, an automated rejection process, or something else entirely. But how can Apple determine that an app lacks originality when its defining functionality hasn't even been tested?

App stuck in “Waiting for Review” for 13 days after resubmitting a fix. No contact from App Review
Hi everyone, I’m honestly at a loss and quite frustrated, so I’m hoping someone here has seen this before. My app, Wisp: AI Meeting Assistant (Apple ID 6821276376), is my first release. Here is my timeline: Oct 20, 10:43 PM: submitted version 0.1.0 (Waiting for Review) Oct 28, 11:03 PM: In Review, after about 8 days of waiting Oct 29, 1:38 AM: Rejected because the app crashed on launch Oct 29, 2:30 AM: I fixed the crash, uploaded build 14, and resubmitted, less than an hour after the rejection Today, Nov 11: still Waiting for Review, 13 days later It has never moved to In Review again. I have received no message in the Resolution Center and no email asking for anything. The first review alone took 8 days, and now the resubmission of a one-issue fix has waited even longer. The standard time is 24 to 48 hours, so this is far beyond normal. What I’ve already checked: The build processed without problems in TestFlight, and the Info.plist purpose strings are in place (I had an ITMS-90683 warning on build 13, fixed in build 14). There is nothing new in Resolution Center and no email from Apple, including spam. I did not reply to the rejection message, since the issue was a crash and the fix was the new build. I don’t think a reply was required, but please correct me if I’m wrong. I requested an expedited review on Nov 6 and have had no response in the 5 days since. As an indie developer this is hard. I’ve now spent almost three weeks without being able to ship the fix to anyone, I can’t plan anything, and I get no information about whether my app is even in the queue. Being rejected is fine, because I can fix problems. Silence is the part I can’t act on. Questions: 1/ Has anyone had a resubmission sit in Waiting for Review this long after a rejection? How did it get resolved? 2/ Is there something that can leave a resubmission stuck that I can’t see from my side? 3/ Would you cancel the submission and resubmit, or does that just send me to the back of the queue? Any advice or similar experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Paid Apps Agreement stuck: bank account "Processing" for 3 weeks, W-8BEN citizenship field locked
I'm an individual developer. My Paid Apps Agreement has been stuck in "Pending User Info" since October 20, 2026, because of two issues: My bank account (Vietnam) has been in "Processing" status for 3 weeks. I cannot edit it, and there is no explanation of what is wrong. App Store Connect shows "Missing Tax Info" and asks for a new W-8BEN, although I submitted one on October 20. In the new form, "Country or Region of Citizenship" is locked to my country of residence (Vietnam), but my citizenship is different (Moldova), so I cannot submit a correct form. I contacted Finance Support on October 23 (Case-ID 23071849) and followed up on November 6, but received no response. Has anyone had a similar issue? How did you get it resolved? Could someone from Apple please look into this case? Thank you!

Stuck in Review
My app took over a month to move from “Waiting for Review” to “In Review,” and now it seems to be stuck there. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? My Android version is already live, performing very well and generating revenue, while the iOS version is still waiting for Apple’s review process to move forward. How long are we, as developers, expected to wait and bear these losses because of such delays? Every day of delay means lost revenue and missed opportunities. Apple, please look into this issue and help developers get their apps reviewed in a reasonable timeframe.

W-9 Line 1 locked to LLC name for single-member LLC disregarded entity- Case 23029434
Organization: OCTOBER FOURTH TO SUCCESS, LLC Team ID: X463RJR2VU Case-ID: 23029434 Account Holder: Yanjiao Yang My company is a single-member LLC, owned solely by me, and has not elected corporate tax treatment. On the App Store Connect U.S. Form W-9, I selected “Limited Liability Company – Disregarded Entity.” However, Line 1 remains locked with the company name, “OCTOBER FOURTH TO SUCCESS, LLC.” Selecting this option did not make the field editable or provide a separate field for the owner's name. The W-9 instructions indicate that a disregarded entity should enter its owner's name on Line 1 and the entity's name on Line 2. My legal tax name is Yanjiao Yang. I have not submitted the form because I want to ensure the name and taxpayer identification number are entered correctly. This was first acknowledged on October 21, 2026. I followed up on October 26, 27, 30 and November 3, and have received no response. Could Apple please provide a secure method for submitting a correctly completed W-9, or correct the locked field? This is blocking my Paid Apps Agreement and in-app purchase testing.

New app in review since October 7th (35+ days)
I submitted my new app (ID 6796733340) on the 7th of October. At time of writing it is the 11th November, 35 days (so far) since submitting. I got a rejection / query on the 29th October because it looked like my app had paid features. I was happy to clarify by reply (within 30 minutes) that it did not. In the 13 days since I have had no response. This seems to be an extraordinarily long time, longer than almost any other case reported here. Could any App Review representatives get this progressed please? By comparison, my Android version of the app, of equal complexity, and sharing largely the same codebase, got approved in approximately an hour. Submission ID: 8a1aea48-8e3b-4c41-b6ec-29e089d02f43 Developer Support case: 102998324983 (escalated to App Review on 9 November)

Just like many others, the review is delayed…
From my understanding, there are many developers experiencing exceeding long app review times, without any feedback or decision being made. As of currently, there is no known major event or announcement that was made in regards to the delay, or when we can expect to possibly hear anything back.. With that being said, I am in need of help for my AppStore Connect Review. If a decision or feedback is temporarily not an option due to the department being temporarily overwhelmed, it would be nice if someone could provide me with a new app processing timeline to accurately reflect the delay... Just so I know when I should become concerned or consider the possibility of my app being stuck in some recipient error. I requested an "expedite" that is more so to highlight the apps current status rather than actually being expedited, FYI but here is that current ticket number to help better identify me and the app in question. CASE ID 30000004085903

App stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over a month (7+ days on current build) despite approved TestFlight and expedite
Hello Apple Developer Community and App Review Team, I am writing to urgently seek assistance with an app submission that has been severely stuck in "Waiting for Review." The original submission dates back to September 28, 2026, meaning it has been stuck in the review process for over a month. The current build (resubmitted on November 3rd) has also been waiting for over a week with zero updates. App Details: App Name: Viipture Apple ID: 6812593628 Submission ID: 0fc3b976-a2ea-4940-ad04-ad398f295ed4 Current Status: Waiting for Review since November 3, 2026 (Original submission on Sept 28) Background & Troubleshooting: This app was previously rejected, but I have since fixed all the highlighted issues (Guideline 5.1.1 regarding camera permissions and Guideline 4 regarding localization) and resubmitted a new build on November 3rd. Despite taking the following steps, there has been no progress: Expedited Review: I previously had an expedited request approved (Developer Support Case ID: 103001055446). The team confirmed that resubmitted builds would automatically return to the expedited queue, but the status remains unchanged. TestFlight Verification: Crucially, recent builds submitted via TestFlight external testing were approved normally and are currently being tested by users. Account Status: Another app under the exact same developer account was recently updated and approved normally. The account's legal entity address change is also fully complete. Request: Given that TestFlight builds and other apps on the same account process fine, but this specific App Store submission has been stuck for a month, I strongly suspect a system bug or a stuck queue state on this specific binary. Could an App Review representative please investigate this submission? If it is blocked, I kindly request assistance in moving it back to the normal queue. Thank you for your time and help.

App Review appointments are full this week. Could someone from App Review please check whether this submission is stuck or correctly queued? Schools are waiting to start using the app. Thank you.

W-9 Line 1 locked to LLC name for single-member LLC disregarded entity- Case 23029434
Organization: OCTOBER FOURTH TO SUCCESS, LLC Team ID: X463RJR2VU Case-ID: 23029434 Account Holder: Yanjiao Yang My company is a single-member LLC, owned solely by me, and has not elected corporate tax treatment. On the App Store Connect U.S. Form W-9, I selected “Limited Liability Company – Disregarded Entity.” However, Line 1 remains locked with the company name, “OCTOBER FOURTH TO SUCCESS, LLC.” Selecting this option did not make the field editable or provide a separate field for the owner's name. The W-9 instructions indicate that a disregarded entity should enter its owner's name on Line 1 and the entity's name on Line 2. My legal tax name is Yanjiao Yang. I have not submitted the form because I want to ensure the name and taxpayer identification number are entered correctly. This was first acknowledged on October 21, 2026. I followed up on October 26, 27, 30 and November 3, and have received no response. Could Apple please provide a secure method for submitting a correctly completed W-9, or correct the locked field? This is blocking my Paid Apps Agreement and in-app purchase testing.

New app in review since October 7th (35+ days)
I submitted my new app (ID 6796733340) on the 7th of October. At time of writing it is the 11th November, 35 days (so far) since submitting. I got a rejection / query on the 29th October because it looked like my app had paid features. I was happy to clarify by reply (within 30 minutes) that it did not. In the 13 days since I have had no response. This seems to be an extraordinarily long time, longer than almost any other case reported here. Could any App Review representatives get this progressed please? By comparison, my Android version of the app, of equal complexity, and sharing largely the same codebase, got approved in approximately an hour. Submission ID: 8a1aea48-8e3b-4c41-b6ec-29e089d02f43 Developer Support case: 102998324983 (escalated to App Review on 9 November)

Just like many others, the review is delayed…
From my understanding, there are many developers experiencing exceeding long app review times, without any feedback or decision being made. As of currently, there is no known major event or announcement that was made in regards to the delay, or when we can expect to possibly hear anything back.. With that being said, I am in need of help for my AppStore Connect Review. If a decision or feedback is temporarily not an option due to the department being temporarily overwhelmed, it would be nice if someone could provide me with a new app processing timeline to accurately reflect the delay... Just so I know when I should become concerned or consider the possibility of my app being stuck in some recipient error. I requested an "expedite" that is more so to highlight the apps current status rather than actually being expedited, FYI but here is that current ticket number to help better identify me and the app in question. CASE ID 30000004085903

New app stuck in "Waiting for Review" after Guideline 2.1 resubmission
Hello, Our new app (Apple ID: 6779879945) received a Guideline 2.1 Information Needed request on November 6, 2026. We provided all requested information, including a screen recording on a physical device, and resubmitted the same day. We also submitted an expedited review request and contacted Developer Support, but the app is still "Waiting for Review." Our launch and App Store Pre-Order are scheduled for December 1, 2026. Could someone from App Review please check the status? Thank you.

App stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over a month (7+ days on current build) despite approved TestFlight and expedite
Hello Apple Developer Community and App Review Team, I am writing to urgently seek assistance with an app submission that has been severely stuck in "Waiting for Review." The original submission dates back to September 28, 2026, meaning it has been stuck in the review process for over a month. The current build (resubmitted on November 3rd) has also been waiting for over a week with zero updates. App Details: App Name: Viipture Apple ID: 6812593628 Submission ID: 0fc3b976-a2ea-4940-ad04-ad398f295ed4 Current Status: Waiting for Review since November 3, 2026 (Original submission on Sept 28) Background & Troubleshooting: This app was previously rejected, but I have since fixed all the highlighted issues (Guideline 5.1.1 regarding camera permissions and Guideline 4 regarding localization) and resubmitted a new build on November 3rd. Despite taking the following steps, there has been no progress: Expedited Review: I previously had an expedited request approved (Developer Support Case ID: 103001055446). The team confirmed that resubmitted builds would automatically return to the expedited queue, but the status remains unchanged. TestFlight Verification: Crucially, recent builds submitted via TestFlight external testing were approved normally and are currently being tested by users. Account Status: Another app under the exact same developer account was recently updated and approved normally. The account's legal entity address change is also fully complete. Request: Given that TestFlight builds and other apps on the same account process fine, but this specific App Store submission has been stuck for a month, I strongly suspect a system bug or a stuck queue state on this specific binary. Could an App Review representative please investigate this submission? If it is blocked, I kindly request assistance in moving it back to the normal queue. Thank you for your time and help.
