Hello Apple Developer Support, My app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since February 7, and I have submitted multiple inquiries without receiving any response. This delay has now become extremely concerning. Missing a planned launch due to an indefinite review timeline is very difficult for independent developers. If there is an issue with the submission, I would appreciate clear communication. If there are review delays, transparency would help us plan accordingly. I respect the review process, but the lack of updates after this amount of time is frustrating. I would sincerely appreciate clarification on the status. I kindly ask for a specific and personalized response regarding my case, as my previous inquiries received only general or automated replies without addressing the actual issue.

Apple ID: 6758804549

Thank you.

I’m experiencing a very similar situation.

Multiple iOS app updates (already live apps) have been in “Waiting for Review” since February 6–11 (4–5 weeks now).

All agreements are active, builds are properly attached, and there are no compliance or metadata warnings in App Store Connect.

One of the submissions was even marked for expedited review about a week ago after contacting App Review Support, but the status has still not changed from “Waiting for Review.”

This appears to be more than a normal backlog. It may indicate a queue or account-level issue.

Would appreciate any updates if anyone sees movement on their submissions.

I understand things happen, but be transparent and let us plan accordingly. i submitted apps in the begining of feb and they were approved in a day or two.

@BikeDev @Dr_Mustafa similar situation here. Our app 6756793528 has been Waiting for Review since Feb 10. No contact from Apple.

Very disappointing there is no statement from them regarding what is going on as it's clearly a widespread issue causing much distress from their customers. Ghosting customers for this long is hard to validate under any circumstances.

I've been waiting since February 9th too. This situation is really starting to annoy me.
