Same here — with one data point that may be useful: my submission is after the 8 August maintenance that has been mentioned in this thread.
First submission of a new app, version 1.0.0
Submitted 12 August 2026, 14:04 UTC
Still "Waiting for Review" six days later. It has never once moved to "In Review"
Nothing has been modified on the submission since it was created
Contacted Developer Support on 17 August (App Review > App Review Status). No reply so far
Most of the reports above are submissions from 30 July to 4 August, so from before that maintenance. Mine is four days after it and is stuck in exactly the same way, which suggests whatever is happening is not limited to submissions that predate 8 August.
I will report back here if the status changes.
