Unusually long “Waiting for Review” 9 days on a resubmitted update
Hi all, I resubmitted an iOS update (build 1.1 (6)) on July 24, 2026 after fixing the issue behind a previous rejection. It has now been in “Waiting for Review” for 9 days and has never moved to “In Review”. Timeline: • Rejected over AppTrackingTransparency (a dormant ad SDK). SDK and tracking usage strings removed, App Privacy set to “Data Not Used to Track You”. • July 24, 2026: resubmitted • August 2, 2026: still “Waiting for Review” • Contacted Developer Support — no substantive reply so far. I have deliberately not cancelled and resubmitted, since that sends you to the back of the queue. Are others seeing similar wait times right now? I’m mainly trying to work out whether this is a general backlog, or whether resubmissions after a privacy-related rejection get routed differently. Thanks

Typical App Review time for a first-time app submission?
Hi all, I submitted my first app for review on Friday evening and it's currently in "Waiting for Review". As a first-time developer I'm just curious about the process: What review times are you all seeing lately for a brand-new (first version) app? Does the weekend tend to slow things down, or is review running 7 days a week? For an app that requires sign-in, is it common for review to take a little longer since the reviewer has to log in and test? Not in a rush, just curious what to expect. Thanks!
