We pay $99 annually for the Apple Developer Program, and developers deserve at least basic communication and transparency. Keeping apps under review for days or weeks without updates, responses, or even an estimated timeline is unacceptable. If Apple cannot provide timely manual reviews, it should consider AI-assisted review systems to speed up the process, with human oversight where necessary. At the very least, developers should be told why their app is delayed and how long they can reasonably expect to wait. We understand that reviews take time, especially after a previous rejection, but an indefinite wait with zero communication is not fair to developers. We invest our time, money, and effort into building apps and complying with Apple's guidelines. We deserve a clear status update and a reasonable timeline so we can plan our next steps. Apple needs to do better when it comes to supporting its developer community.

I posted a message on the Apple Developer Forums, but it has been deleted. I’m not sure why, as I was only sharing my experience with the ongoing “Waiting for Review” delay.

We pay $99 every year for the Apple Developer Program, and waiting days without a review or any response from support is simply not acceptable. We're paying members and deserve clear communication and timely assistance. Many developers are facing the same issue. Apple needs to address this and provide a proper update instead of leaving developers waiting indefinitely.

Honestly, Apple should introduce an AI-based preliminary review system. It could help developers identify guideline violations and fix issues before submitting, making the review process faster and more transparent for everyone. It would save both Apple and developers a lot of time, especially for startups. Hope Apple considers this! 🙏

I’m following up on case 102977383631 regarding the expedited review for MAA NEST – CAREGIVER IN MINUTES. We received confirmation that the app would be processed through an expedited review as a one-time exception. However, the app has still not completed App Review. Could you please check the status of the expedited review and confirm whether the app is currently in the expedited review queue? We have provided the requested information and are ready to respond immediately if anything else is required from our side. We would greatly appreciate your help in moving the review forward. Thank you.

Same here 🥲
