App stuck in "Waiting for Review" for over 2 months
Hello everyone, I would like to ask whether other developers are currently experiencing unusually long App Review delays for new apps. Here is the timeline for my app (Apple ID: 6759361892): Build 1 — Feb 19, 2026: Initial build submitted Feb 21, 2026: Rejected because ads were not working properly Build 2 — Feb 23, 2026: Updated build submitted Build 3 — Feb 26, 2026: Another updated build submitted Mar 11–18, 2026: Status remained “Waiting for Review” and never entered the “In Review” stage Mar 18, 2026: Submission cancelled and resubmitted Current status: Still “Waiting for Review” During this period, I have already tried several ways to resolve the issue: Contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times Submitted an expedited review request Sent several follow-up emails regarding the delay Contacted Apple Support and asked them to leave messages for the App Review team Each time, I was told that the situation would be checked or that the review would “begin shortly.” I have now received that same response multiple times, including after my expedited review request was accepted, but there has still been no visible progress or transition into active review. While browsing the Developer Forums, I also noticed that several recent posts seem to describe similar situations, especially involving new app submissions remaining stuck in “Waiting for Review.” So I would like to ask: Are other developers currently experiencing similar delays? Has anyone recently seen their app finally move from “Waiting for Review” to “In Review” after a very long delay? Could this possibly be related to a broader App Review queue slowdown? I’m mainly trying to understand whether this is an isolated issue or something other developers are also currently facing. Any recent experiences or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

App Review Status
My game has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since March 18 (2 months now). I already received confirmation that my expedited review request was accepted (although it was only accepted about a week ago, despite requesting it much earlier), but the app still has not entered active review. Developer Support keeps confirming that the app is in queue and that it will be “reviewed shortly,” but I have heard that four times already, with no concrete action or explanation provided. Has anyone experienced something similar recently or found a solution?
