Hi, App ID 6449141384 has been stuck in App Review for 17 days. After repeated rejections on a previous build, I submitted a new build — but review hasn't started at all. I'd like to request that an Apple reviewer check the status and expedite the review process. If anyone has experienced the same issue or knows the escalation path, your input would also be appreciated. Timeline May 2: Bug fix update submitted → Rejected under Guideline 4.1(a) (Copycat) May 7: Resubmitted with official collaboration authorization document → Rejected again under the same guideline May 12: Contacted Developer Support → No response to date May 13: New build submitted → Review has not started as of today Supporting Documentation The following was submitted in the review notes: Official collaboration authorization document from the IP holder (QWER, a K-pop group) Link to the IP holder's official channel promoting the app: https://youtu.be/vI6QCGZ5t0s Despite this, we have not received any specific guidance on why the rejection was upheld. Questions Is it normal for a new build to remain stuck in the review queue after repeated rejections on a prior build? If Developer Support does not respond, is there an official escalation path? The collaboration event ends on May 29. A response from an Apple reviewer or anyone who has navigated this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
