Hi, hoping someone from App Review can take a look. App: Flipped Dating: Dates, Not DMs Apple ID: 6778089894 Submission ID: 4d2b40e3-2413-4c02-9e66-8ee58282f147 Timeline: Sep 24: iOS 1.0 rejected under 4.3(b). I replied the same day with a demo account and screen recording. Oct 5: filed an App Review Board appeal. Oct 14: App Review replied asking me to resubmit. Oct 15: resubmitted. It has been in “Waiting for Review” since then with no messages. I haven’t resubmitted again since I didn’t want to reset the queue. Is there anything pending on my side, or anything I can provide to get this picked up? Thanks.

Hello, My app Opinion Scanner (Apple ID 6812309557, iOS, version 1.0) was first submitted on September 29, 2026. The only message I ever received from App Review was an automated one on September 30 (guideline 3.1.2, Terms of Use link). I fixed it the same day: custom EULA set in App Store Connect and Terms of Use link added to the description. Since then: I resubmitted several times (September 30, October 4, October 10, October 21), with new builds. The current submission (October 21) is still “Waiting for Review”. Two expedited review requests were accepted. Two support cases are open without any answer: 102990023433 and 103001051587. All agreements are active, the updated Paid Applications Schedule is accepted, and the App Privacy details are up to date. My server logs show visits from the review team on October 12 and October 16, but the status never changed and no message was sent. I am not asking for an approval. I only need an answer: could someone confirm that my submission is correctly queued, or reject it with the reason so that I can fix it? Thank you for your help. FredMar

Our latest submission has remained in "Waiting for Review" status for over seven days. This is a new version submitted after addressing the issues identified in our previous rejection. We have completed the requested changes and resubmitted the application. We have also attempted to contact the App Review team, but have not received an update.

Hello, I am a developer at Trippy, Inc. Our app "Oz Chat" (Apple ID: 6482977162) has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" and I would like to ask whether anyone else has experienced this, and whether the App Review team can confirm our submission is correctly queued. Timeline: Sep 24, 2026: Our submission of version 2.5.16 was rejected (Guidelines 2.3.7, 1.1, and 5.1.1(v)). We addressed all points. Oct 5, 2026: We resubmitted version 2.5.16. An In-App Event was submitted together with it. An expedited review request for this submission was approved by Apple Developer Support (case 102994810252), and we were told the review would begin shortly. Oct 25, 2026: We sent a written follow-up asking for the status. Nov 3, 2026: We sent another inquiry via the contact form. Nov 4, 2026: Developer Support told us by phone that the review is "progressing normally," that reviews are backlogged overall, and that escalation is not possible. As of today, November 4, the submission has been in "Waiting for Review" for 30 days and the review has not started. The In-App Event's scheduled period (ending Oct 31) has already passed while waiting. Including the rejection cycles, we have been unable to release a new version of this app for about five months, which is having a serious impact on our business. We have verified on our side in App Store Connect that the submission is complete and simply awaiting review. Could someone from the App Review team please confirm: That this submission is correctly placed in the review queue, and That the approved expedited review has actually been applied to it? If any additional information is needed from us, we will provide it immediately. Thank you.

I've built a new app and have submitted for review. It went into review almost 6 days ago. But no feedback, no rejection, no approval? Did the sole person reviewing my app suddenly die or something? Or maybe quit without finishing? What can I do? I've never had an app take more than a few hours once it goes into review. This is incredibly frustrating.

Hi, Is it permitted to use PushKit and CallKit for monitoring alerts that users explicitly enable? An API event would trigger an incoming call, displaying the monitoring channel as the caller. Answering would acknowledge the alert and end the call, without establishing a voice connection. Alternatively, the app could read the alert locally using AVSpeechSynthesizer after answering. Are either of these approaches permitted, or is a network-based voice connection required?

I have submited my app for review Oct 22, 2026 at 12:42 PM after 4 days Oct 26, 2026 at 5:25 PM app got rejected, requested motre infomration and screenrecording , i have submited everything and resubmited back Oct 26, 2026 at 9:15 PM status nevere changed form WIATING TO REVIEW, on Oct 31, 2026 at 4:11 PM I canceled submition created new BUILD and resubmit app on Oct 31, 2026 at 4:25 PM Nov 2, 2026 at 2:06 PM rejected the app again and resubmitted updated build on Nov 2, 2026 at 2:12 PM statsu nevere change, what is going on with APPLE? I have created 3 ticked regarding this issue. no answer, no contact back, nothing ... I NEED SOMEONE FORM APPLE TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE I've seen in my admin portal that apple created an account and never tested the game. seems like they don't wanna work at all. 2 accounts has been created and app never been tested. my Admin consol can truck the players current page in the game. like main menu, or in the room. once account created then app was closed. no crushes, no bugs, they just didn't test it, and my app is still showing Waiting for Review. I can't undertand what they doing. They don't care at all, they forget that it is B2B relation and they must be professional.

Hello everyone, I ask for your help. I made a Colorspeak app (6804846576, https://testflight.apple.com/join/6knHy44U) for colorblind people. It not only recognizes colors like many other apps, but also simulates different forms of colorblindness for friends and relatives of the person with colorblindness. After receiving the first rejection with guideline 4.3(a), I added necessary support for iPhone Duo, added an object recognition feature using the new iOS 27 SDK, and added Siri shortcuts. Wrote a huge comment to the reviewer that presents the app and shows its distinction from the existing apps in the App Store: many of them are abandoned or made for old versions of iOS. A lot of them do not support not only iOS 27, but iOS 26 too. And now I am receiving the same guideline 4.3(a) rejection (submission ID: 9c5e4382-5428-45e4-905e-0fc3d9c15f4e). No additional data: what is wrong, what to fix, and who am I "copying" with this app? I spent a lot of time after my regular work, feel very sorry about it, and hope to deliver it to the store. But blindly trying to change something and send it again may be a reason for a ban of my developer account. I ask for advice: what should I do? It's definitely my app. It's not repacked or copied from somebody else. It has only one bundle ID. It is useful. What's wrong? :(

Hi everyone, I submitted my first iOS app on Oct 21. On Oct 23 I got an automated message asking me to confirm the price of an in-app purchase (Guideline 3.0.0). I answered the same day, and I followed up on Oct 28. Since then I've heard nothing. App Store Connect still shows "Rejected" and "Unresolved Issues", and the only message in the Resolution Center is that automated price question. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take for you after you answered and did anything help besides waiting? How long do I have to wait still? Thanks!

Hello App Review Team, My first iOS app has been in the “Waiting for Review” status since October 27, 2026, and has not yet moved to “In Review”. App Details: App Name: WeOnly: Couples & Relationship Apple ID: 6818244418 Version: 1.0 (Build 40) In-App Purchases: First subscription group (WeOnly Pro: Pro Monthly, Pro Yearly) Submission ID: 6df7a758-061d-400d-b734-3301c4702bce Timeline: October 27: App submitted (manual release). October 31: Expedited review request accepted. November 2: Sent a status inquiry to App Review (received only an automated acknowledgment). All agreements, tax, and banking information are active. A demo account and review notes have been provided, and there are currently no messages or outstanding requests in App Store Connect. I have intentionally kept the submission active and have not cancelled it to avoid losing my place in the review queue. Could you please check whether anything is preventing the review from starting or if any additional information or action is required from my side? Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards, Fariz Mirzayev

Hello Apple Developer Community and App Review Team, We're hoping someone has run into this before, or that an App Review team member can take a look. What happened September 29: Our first submission was returned. App Review asked us to confirm the price of our auto-renewable Pro subscription (Guideline 3 - Business). We confirmed the price, made an update, and resubmitted on October 8. On October 8, Developer Support confirmed the app was "Waiting for Review" (case number 102984068572) and that no action was needed from us. The app stayed in "Waiting for Review" for 12 days. We replied to Developer Support on October 13 and requested an expedited review on October 16, with no change in status. October 20: The app was reviewed (Submission ID 61a8809e-4366-4698-bb69-8986bb10fef2, version 1.0 build 119, iPad Air 11-inch M3) and returned again with the same request: confirm that the Pro subscription product has the correct intended price. What we've already tried We confirmed the price in our reply the first time. We then changed the subscription's price and description, but we received the same message again. Our questions Has anyone received this repeated "confirm the correct intended price" message and gotten past it? What did you do? Does the reply need to go in a specific place, such as the Resolution Center on the rejected submission, the review notes, or both? Is there something else App Review needs, such as an explanation of what the subscription includes? This is time-sensitive for us. We are preparing to release the app ahead of a national convention in November, so that professionals have enough lead time to download and test it. Thank you for any help or guidance.

Hello App Review team, Our live app crashes within 15–20 seconds of launch for all users and has been unusable since October 29. The update containing the crash fix has been in "Waiting for Review" since October 31, despite multiple accepted expedited review requests and follow-up escalations through Contact Us. Apple ID: 1450809061 Version: 9.1 (iOS) Submission ID: 097aad7f-e972-4bcc-9521-5d6539727d3f Case ID: 103013406646 Context: The update was previously rejected twice for metadata guidelines only, and both issues were addressed the same day. Each time, Apple confirmed the expedited review, but the resubmission has not yet entered review. Could you please look into this submission and let us know if anything is blocking it, or if any action is needed from our side? Our entire live user base is affected. Thank you for your help.

Hello App Review team, We need urgent assistance with a critical bug-fix update for XFIT. Users are experiencing crashes in the currently released version, 6.8.0. The fix is included in version 6.8.1, which remains in Waiting for Review. Submission details: App: XFIT Apple ID: 1081081073 Platform: iOS Version: 6.8.1 Build: 2026.10.30.15.23 Submission ID: 16a4c326-fdd9-429f-822e-19252d5b7086 Current status: Waiting for Review Current submission date: October 31, 2026, at 18:12, as displayed in App Store Connect Timeline: October 27, 2026: version 6.8.1 was first submitted and entered Waiting for Review. October 31, 2026: we withdrew the previous submission and resubmitted version 6.8.1 with the current build. November 3, 2026: the current submission is still in Waiting for Review. This is a critical bug affecting existing users of the live app. Until the update is reviewed and released, affected users continue to experience crashes and cannot receive the fix. Could someone from App Review please check this submission, confirm whether anything is blocking the review, and help expedite this critical bug-fix update? If any additional information or action is required from our side, please let us know. We can provide further technical details privately through App Store Connect. Thank you for your help.

Hi all, I'm looking for guidance on getting my app back on sale. I've done everything I know to do and I'm not sure what step I'm missing. Details below. Timeline: Aug 16: The app was removed from sale through App Store Notices (ref APP265997). Sept: I renamed the app with a new name, icon, and listing, which was the agreed resolution. Oct 2: Apple lifted the submission hold. Oct 5: The other party confirmed to App Store Notices that the matter is closed and the app can be restored. Oct 7: Version 1.0.4 was approved. App Store Connect shows it as "Ready for Distribution," but the version page also shows a banner: "This app was removed from sale from the App Store." The product page returns "can't be found." I've accepted all current agreements. Oct 20: I submitted 1.0.5 (Manual release). It has been in "Waiting for Review" for 8 days and hasn't moved to In Review. Oct 23: I followed up with App Store Notices and have not heard back yet. My questions: Once an App Store Notices matter is closed, is there a separate step to restore the app to sale, or does App Store Notices lift the removal on their end? Could the removal be why 1.0.5 hasn't entered review after 8 days? Is there a better contact or channel for this than the App Store Notices thread? Any guidance from Apple staff or anyone who has been through this would be a huge help. Existing users can't get the latest fixes, and new users can't find the app at all. Thank you.

App: Drip Rides (App ID 6828609335), version 1.0.13 — a new app submission made on October 30, 2026. It has been in "Waiting for Review" since submission and has never moved to "In Review."

Hello, Our iOS app update has been "Waiting for Review" since October 9, 2026, with no status change or message from App Review. App: LoveYug: Couple Games for Two Apple ID: 6764535507 App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6764535507 Version: iOS 2.0.1 (Build 61) Submission ID: ee368da7-67ea-47b4-af79-6a0b301f3896 Timeline: October 2: Version 2.0.1 was rejected under Guideline 1.1 for a keyword in our App Store metadata. October 3: We removed it from the metadata in every localization, replied in App Review, and resubmitted. October 9: We withdrew the submission to include a new build (61) and resubmitted the same day. November 2: Still "Waiting for Review", with no further questions or issues reported. What we have tried: Requested an expedited review twice Contacted App Review through the Contact Us form Opened two Developer Support cases: 102988518785, 103012593576 None of these has received a substantive response. Our app is already live on the App Store (version 2.0.0), and this update is already live on Google Play. iOS users are stuck on the older version, without the new features and fixes. We fixed the earlier issue the same day and have not changed the binary or metadata since October 9. We are not asking for approval without review. We only want to confirm the submission is correctly queued and not stuck on a hold, or to learn whether we need to do anything else. Could someone from App Review look at this submission or escalate it? Thank you.

My app was rejected under Guideline 2.3.7 (Accurate Metadata). One screenshot showed an unlock sheet that mentioned the price and the word “free”. The review was on an iPad Air 11-inch (M3), version 1.0 (13). The message says to revise the metadata and reply to the message. I replaced that screenshot with one that has no purchase wording. The new one is in the iPhone 6.3" and iPad 13" sets. I then replied to App Review through Resolution Center. I’ve replied twice now, and it has been a week with no response and no status change. Is a reply alone enough, or do I have to resubmit? The message doesn’t say whether a new binary is needed. The binary is unchanged. I’ve read that metadata-only rejections can be answered with Resolve → Reply to App Review, and also that an accidental “Add for Review” can cost you the reply option. Which has worked for you on a rejected version? And how long did Apple take to answer a reply? I can’t edit the iPhone 6.9" and 6.5" screenshot sets. Both still show the old screenshot at the end. In Media Manager the tiles open a preview but have no delete control, and the upload buttons are disabled. Is the rejected version locked? Is there an Edit control I’m missing? Could those old sets be why my replies are stuck? I’d also like to know whether Apple’s check reads all device sizes or only the one reviewed, and whether the 6.9" and 6.5" sets can just be removed when the 6.3" set is there. If you’ve been in this spot, did anything get a reviewer’s attention? Examples would be a call request through App Review Contact, an expedite request, or resubmitting. Thanks for any advice.
