iOS app stuck in 'Waiting for Review' for 30 days


Hello,


I’m posting here to seek guidance regarding our app submission, which has remained in the “Waiting for Review” state for the past 30 days without any updates.


Our iOS app was submitted on April 17, 2026, and since then there has been no visible progress in the review process. This application is extremely important to our business operations, and the prolonged delay is beginning to seriously impact our plans and timelines.


Over the past few weeks, we have contacted Developer Support multiple times in an effort to understand the situation or receive assistance. However, the responses provided have been largely generic and have not offered any meaningful clarification, estimated timeline, or actionable next steps. We fully understand that app reviews can occasionally take longer than expected, but a full month without movement or communication is becoming very concerning, particularly since this developer account has successfully published apps in the past without complications.


For reference:

• Initial submission date: April 17, 2026

• Current status: “Waiting for Review”


If anyone from the App Review team comes across this post, or if other developers have recently experienced a similar delay and found a way to resolve it, any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. We are actively trying to move this forward, as the delay is creating significant pressure on our release schedule.


Thank you for your time and assistance.
