Hello,
My app "Glow Mode: AI Skin Scanner" (Apple ID: 6762376419) has been blocked from distribution in all 27 European Union countries for 49+ days due to Digital Services Act trader verification stuck in "In Review" state.
Current state in App Store Connect: • Business → Compliance → Digital Services Act: "In Review" since 24 March 2026 • Pricing and Availability → Manage Availability: all 27 EU countries show "Trader Status Not Provided" → "Cannot Sell" • App-level: declared as "trader app" ✓ • Account: published in 148 other countries, all agreements / banking / tax forms verified and Active
Apple's stated typical review time is 5 business days. I'm at day 49.
Several other developers have reported identical issues in recent threads: • https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/822744 — DSA Review stuck • https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/822857 — App not available in EU • https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/818244 — Review stuck 2+ months
I've also filed a support case (ID: 20000114608599) but wanted public visibility in case this is a systemic issue affecting multiple developers.
Questions for Apple staff and the community:
- Has anyone resolved a DSA verification stuck this long? If so, how?
- Is there a backend status that may already show "approved" while the UI continues to show "In Review"?
- What is the recommended escalation path beyond the standard support form?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
