Hello, Following a rejection, I resubmitted my application for review on May 8, 2026, and requested an expedited review. The status changed to 'In Review' but there have been no updates since then (it has now been 5 days). I have already reached out to developer support but have not yet received a reply. Usually, approval takes only 1 or 2 days, so this delay is unexpected. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation recently? Thank you for your time.

Hello, My app (Apple ID: 6768121501) has been in "Waiting for Review" status long time with no progress and no messages in the Resolution Center. Could someone from the App Review team please check whether there is any issue with this submission, or confirm that it is simply pending reviewer assignment? Thank you.

Hello, My app (Apple ID: 6766249889) has been in "Waiting for Review" status long time after resubmission and answer/replay to Apple Review Team. The account is in good standing, all agreements and banking information are active. Could someone from the App Review team please check whether there is any issue with this submission, or confirm that it is simply pending reviewer assignment? Thank you.

Hi, I have resolved the issues reported regarding the guidelines 2.3.10 and my app is stick waiting for review for days. re: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/826280

Hello Apple Review Team and Community, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out regarding our app (Apple ID: 6743547441), which has been stuck in the "Pending Review" status since May 5th — now more than 8 days with no updates or feedback. I fully understand that review times can vary and that the queue may currently be experiencing higher-than-usual volume, and I truly appreciate the hard work the review team puts in. I am not looking to escalate — I simply want to make sure everything is in order on our end. Could anyone kindly help confirm whether: There is a specific issue or blocker with this submission that requires our attention Any additional information, documentation, or clarification is needed from our side Or whether the app is simply still awaiting reviewer assignment We are happy to provide any further details or make any necessary adjustments as quickly as possible. Thank you so much for your time and support. We look forward to hearing from you. Best regards

Hi, Have old equipment. I know I should upgrade but new to the Apple development environment (very new) so please excuse my ignorance. Just trying things out for the first time. Hardware & OS: Mac Mini 2018, macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 iPhone SE 3rd gen, iOS 18.7.8 (dev device) Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 11.6.2 Xcode 16.4 (16F6) Setup: The Apple Watch was freshly erased and re-paired to the iPhone SE via the Watch app. Developer Mode is enabled on the iPhone. The iPhone connects to Xcode and appears under Window → Devices and Simulators. However the Apple Watch shows as Disconnected in Xcode even though: The Watch app on the SE shows the watch as paired Bluetooth on the SE shows the watch as connected Both devices are on the same WiFi network The watch is unlocked and worn Error seen previously with Xcode 16.0: "Internal logic error: Connection was invalidated" After upgrading to Xcode 16.4, the watch appears in the device list but shows as Disconnected. Restarting both the iPhone and the watch does not resolve it. Replugging the USB cable causes the iPhone to reconnect but the watch remains disconnected. Has anyone seen this with a freshly paired watch on a dev-only iPhone? Any suggestions appreciated. Just a newbie.

I have a question. After how many days in the “Waiting for Review” status should I conclude that there is an issue with my app review request and contact the support team?

Just found a simple typo you might want to fix:

HI, Following up on this thread, the situation has escalated significantly. After my app was stuck in review for nearly 2 months, I received a Pending Termination Notice on my entire developer account citing section 3.2(f), concept or feature switch schemes. All of my apps have been removed from the App Store, including apps that were already live and had not been submitted or modified in any way. The notice states that automation may have been used as part of the review process, and I received the exact same notice for every single app on my account, which suggests this was a blanket automated action rather than a specific finding per app. I have already submitted individual app appeals and a full account reinstatement request through the official channels. I am an independent developer based in France under the Small Business Program and this account represents years of work. I would kindly ask if this can be looked into and escalated to the appropriate team. I am happy to provide any information needed. THANK YOU

Hello, My app (Apple ID: 6760485927) has been in "Waiting for Review" status since May 7, 2026 — now over 5 days with no progress and no messages in the Resolution Center. The account is in good standing, all agreements and banking information are active, and no action appears to be required from my side. Could someone from the App Review team please check whether there is any issue with this submission, or confirm that it is simply pending reviewer assignment? Thank you.

I just signed up in the developer program and I want to change my primary language of App store connect: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/both App dev program and apple id interface are set to English but Appstore connect is set to French by default. Thanks.

Hello, I'm experiencing a persistent issue with TestFlight and app reviews on App Store Connect, and I hope someone else has encountered this before. About a week ago, when trying to add external testers to test the initial TestFlight builds, I received the following error: There was an error processing your request. Please try again later. Since there were no other details, it was impossible to know the source of the problem. After doing some research, I found the root cause of the problem in the browser console; "errors" : [ { "id" : "c7300330-93d7-4aee-af8e-1aeffeff81ae", "status" : "422", "code" : "ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title" : "Beta contract is missing for the app.", "detail" : "Beta Contract is missing." } ] Since then: I've researched everything needed for TestFlight, including contracts, bank details, and so on, but I can't create external TestFlight tests. Internal TestFlight builds appear, but they can't be downloaded ("Requested application not available or present"). My applications just won't get past the review process. I've been trying to find a solution for about 10 days now. I've checked everywhere. We even checked with AI, but there's no reason. Important details: This is an individual developer account. I am the account holder. All contracts appear active and valid. This is my first and only application. I've contacted Apple Developer Support, but unfortunately, I haven't received a real solution yet, which makes it unclear how to proceed. Suggestions include checking forums, etc. Has anyone experienced this problem or found a solution? Any information would be greatly appreciated. What should I do? Please help. Thanks!

Hello, I would like to check the status of my app, as it has been stuck in "waiting for review" for almost a month (ID: 6746933136). Thank you

Hello, I submitted an update for my app for review on April 27th. Since then, the app has remained in the “Waiting for Review” status. I contacted support by email after one week and again after two weeks, but both of my messages were left unanswered. Please provide me with an overview of what is going on with my app submission for review. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm dealing with a critical issue regarding the Screen Time API and hoping someone here has experienced something similar. We recently completed an app transfer to a new developer account. Upon successful transfer, the app completely lost its previously approved "Family Controls" entitlement. We immediately submitted a new request for the entitlement on the new account, but it has now been stuck on "Pending Approval" for over 12 days. We haven't received any feedback, emails, or status changes, and Developer Support has been unresponsive so far. This is completely blocking our production updates. Has anyone successfully transferred a parental control / Screen Time app recently? Is it normal to lose the entitlement during a transfer? For those who had to reapply, how long did the approval take? Are there any effective ways to escalate this to get an actual human review? Any advice, workarounds, or shared experiences would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Issue: Sandbox test account stuck in a loop when trying to access account management Environment: iOS version: [iOS 26.4.2] Device: iPhone 12 Steps to Reproduce: Created sandbox test credentials on Apple Developer site (App Store Connect → Users and Access → Sandbox → Testers) On iPhone, navigated to Settings → Developer → Sandbox Apple Account Clicked "Sign In" and entered sandbox test email and password Successfully verified using verification codes (both email and phone number) Clicked on the signed-in sandbox account A popup appears with "Manage" option Clicked "Manage" Expected Behavior:- Should open sandbox account management interface Actual Behavior:- Popup immediately closes and the same popup reappears. Clicking "Manage" again produces the same result - an endless loop preventing access to account management. Has anyone encountered this issue with sandbox test accounts? Is there a known workaround or fix for this behavior?

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. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm encountering a blocking issue with my first-time Non-Consumable In-App Purchase​ after a rejection. Here is the exact workflow: Initial State: My App and IAP (com.marryflow.app.premium.lifetime) were linked and submitted together for the first time. Rejection: The IAP was rejected, and the App was consequently rejected as well (metadata rejection). Resubmission: I fixed the IAP issues and submitted it again. Its status is now "In Review". The Block: When I uploaded a new binary and went to the App Version page (under the "In-App Purchases" or "Subscriptions" section), the IAP that is "In Review" does not appear in the list. The interface only seems to allow selecting IAPs with "Ready to Submit" status. My Questions: Is this an expected system restriction? Meaning, once a first-time IAP enters a standalone review cycle, it cannot be manually re-attached to an App version? If so, is the correct resolution to ask the App Review team to reset the IAP's status back to "Ready to Submit"​ so that I can select it on the App Version page and submit them together? Currently, my App is submitted (without the IAP attached) and the IAP is stuck in "In Review". Any guidance on the proper workflow would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an unusually long wait time for my TestFlight external build review and wanted to see if others are facing similar issues in 2026. Current Status: Platform: iOS App Version: 1.2.90 (Build 24) Build Type: TestFlight External Testing Current Status: In Review - not "Waiting for Review" Time in Current Status: Over 2 weeks Submission Timeline: Current Submission: Wednesday at 9:49 AM (iOS 1.2.90 Build 24) Previous Submission: March 9, 2026 at 2:20 PM (iOS 1.2.90 Build 11) - Status: Completed (Rejected) Full History: March 9, 2026 2:20 PM - Initial submission (Build 11) March 15, 2026 5:25 AM - Rejection from Apple March 24 - April 15, 2026 - Multiple back-and-forth communications (5 messages total) April 15, 2026 2:22 PM - Last response from Apple Recent (Wednesday 9:49 AM) - Resubmitted new build (Build 24) Current - Still "In Review" after 2+ weeks What I've Tried: ✅ Addressed all rejection issues from the previous review ✅ Submitted a new build with higher build number (11 → 24) ✅ Submitted expedited review request through App Store Connect ✅ Contacted Apple Developer Support via email ✅ Requested phone callback for escalation What Concerns Me: The build has been stuck in "In Review" status for over 2 weeks This is AFTER already going through a full review cycle (rejection + resubmission) Normal review times are supposed to be 24-48 hours, even with the 2026 backlog The previous review cycle took over 1 month (March 9 → April 15) This is completely blocking our beta testing program Questions for the Community: Is anyone else experiencing 2+ week "In Review" times for TestFlight external builds in 2026? Does a previous rejection cause indefinite review delays on resubmission? Has anyone successfully resolved this by canceling and submitting a brand new build? Are there effective escalation paths beyond standard support channels? Could this indicate an account-level review issue? What I Understand: Review times have increased in 2026 due to higher submission volumes Previous rejections can lead to more thorough reviews However, 2+ weeks "In Review" (not even "Waiting") seems abnormal This delay is severely impacting our development timeline and beta testing plans. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.
