Update — 19 October 2026 A further update on GoldEngine AI's launch across Google Play and Apple's App Store. Since my original post, Google Play has continued to show encouraging growth: 259 device acquisitions, up from 108 (+140%). 177 reported installs in the latest production overview. 96.2% install base reported by Google Play Console. Meanwhile, the iOS version remains in Apple's expedited review queue, with the latest submission waiting for review since October 14. It's now five days since that submission entered the queue, and three days since Apple confirmed on October 16 that the application was still in the expedited review process. As an independent developer, it's encouraging to see Android users discovering GoldEngine AI, but frustrating that I still cannot offer the same application to iPhone users. I appreciate the comments from other developers experiencing similar delays. Hopefully, my next update will be to confirm that GoldEngine AI is available on both platforms.

HI jln19, we have to wait it out.

Hi StoneEcho, the only response I've received from Apple was to confirm that I don't need to press the expedited review button again once my app is in that queue. They explained that any subsequent resubmissions automatically stay in the expedited review queue, so I don't need to request it again. I originally requested expedited review myself, but unfortunately, I haven't received any meaningful update on when the review will actually take place. Like you, my Android app is already live on Google Play, but I'm still waiting on Apple.

Now 189 Installs on Google Play Store… Waiting for release on the Apple Play Store…

Update — 13 October 2026 A brief update on our release progress. GoldEngine AI has now been successfully approved and published on the Google Play Store and is publicly available for Android users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.goldengine.mobile Meanwhile, our initial iOS submission, originally submitted on 4 October 2026, remains in Waiting for Review as of 13 October. Both platforms are part of the same product launch, and we are continuing to wait for Apple's review process to progress. We have not withdrawn or resubmitted the iOS application, as we would prefer to preserve its existing place in the review queue. If other developers are experiencing similar delays with initial iOS submissions during October 2026, I would welcome any updates on their review timelines. Thank you.
