Hi everyone, I'm looking for some guidance from developers who may have experienced something similar. I recently submitted a new app and initially received a rejection under Guideline 4.3(b) (Spam), with Apple stating that the app duplicated functionality found in an already saturated category. After the rejection, I made updates and submitted a new build along with detailed review notes explaining how the app differs from other apps in same category. The new submission has now been sitting in "Waiting for Review" for over a week, and there has been no communication from App Review. I'm trying to understand whether this is normal for apps that were previously rejected under 4.3(b), or if it may indicate that the app has been escalated for additional review. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on April 12th, 2026. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” I think the reason my account is still stuck is because I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using one Apple ID and completed the payment using a different Apple ID (the subscription is currently active under this account) It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information. I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback!
