Stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 13 days after expedited review was accepted. Anyone else?
Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this right now, or has been through it before. I resubmitted my iOS app (version 1.0, with one In-App Purchase in the same submission) on October 16 after answering a Guideline 2.1 information request. I requested an expedited review the same day and it was accepted. It has now been 13 days, and both the app and the In-App Purchase are still in "Waiting for Review". Nothing in App Store Connect has changed since October 16, and there are no new messages from App Review. I've contacted Developer Support by email several times and once by phone. Their latest reply only confirmed that the expedited review was accepted and that the review "should begin shortly". For those who had a similar wait: How long did it take before the review actually started? Did anything help, such as contacting a different support topic, or cancelling and resubmitting? Or did it just start on its own eventually? I'd rather not cancel and resubmit unless that's known to help. Apple ID of the app, in case it's useful: 6809826557 Thanks.

Expedite request accepted, but still "Waiting for Review". Anyone else seeing this?
Hi everyone, I'd like to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation recently. My first iOS app was rejected under Guideline 2.1(b). I addressed the issues in the App Review notes and resubmitted it. Right after resubmitting, I requested an expedited review, and the confirmation page said the review would be expedited. The app and its in-app purchase are still "Waiting for Review." There are no new messages in App Store Connect, and my follow-ups through Contact Us have received only automatic acknowledgements. A few questions for anyone who has experienced this: How long did it take for your review to start after an expedite request was accepted? Did contacting Developer Support by phone help? Is there anything else worth doing while waiting, or is it best to simply wait? Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

App and non-consumable IAP still Waiting for Review since October 2 — similar experiences?
Hi everyone, My iOS app version 1.0 (build 74) and its associated non-consumable in-app purchase were submitted together on October 2, 2026 at 19:18 KST (UTC+9). As of October 9, both still show "Waiting for Review" in App Store Connect. I contacted Apple Developer Support on October 8 and received an acknowledgement. The support case number is 102989754595. Has anyone experienced a similar wait when submitting an app and a non-consumable IAP together? Is there an appropriate way to confirm that the existing submission is queued normally and that no additional information is needed, without withdrawing or resubmitting it? I would like to keep the current submission in place. If an Apple staff member can help check the status, please use the existing support case for any account-specific follow-up so those details can remain private. Thanks for any guidance or similar experiences.
