App will be removed in 6 days — version is ready but there is no "Add for Review" button
My app is under a Guideline 4.1 grace period that ends on 19 August 2026. If I do not ship a compliant update by then, the app will be removed from sale. The update is ready. Version 1.1.1 has a processed build attached, the app has been renamed, and all metadata has been corrected in every localization. The version status is "Ready for Review". The problem: there is no way to submit it. No "Add for Review" or "Submit for Review" button appears anywhere on the version page. I believe the submission is blocked by pending compliance items in App Information — the updated age rating questionnaire and/or the Digital Services Act trader verification, which still shows "This developer has not identified as a trader for this app." Here is where I am stuck. The DSA trader verification requires a phone verification code. I am currently travelling abroad and my registered Spanish line has no roaming service at my location, so I cannot receive SMS or calls on it. I have also now hit the "too many verification codes have been sent" limit. So I have a compliant version I cannot submit, blocked by a verification I physically cannot complete from where I am, against a deadline six days away. Questions: Is the DSA trader verification (or the age rating questionnaire) what blocks "Add for Review"? I would like to confirm before spending more of the deadline on the wrong thing. Is there any alternative to SMS/phone for the trader verification — email, or documentation review? If this cannot be resolved in time, can the grace period be extended given that the blocker is an account verification step and not the guideline issue itself? I have already replied in App Review Messages explaining the fix. Any pointer would be appreciated — I am running out of runway. App: Whodoku — App ID 6787716218 Version ready: 1.1.1 (build 20) Grace period ends: 19 August 2026

Expedited review for a revenue-critical bug fix?
Hi all, The live version of my game shipped with a broken ad unit ID: ads have been served to thousands of users for a week now without earning a single cent. Version 1.1.0 fixes it — no new features, just the corrected ad configuration — and it's been sitting in review; lately my reviews have been taking 100+ hours, and every extra day costs me around $40 as a solo indie dev. I've already submitted the "Request an Expedited App Review" form citing a critical bug fix with financial impact. Just want to make sure: is that still the right (and only) channel, or is there anything else I should do to avoid losing more days? Review ID: f59f7b94-fd9e-46f0-b2b6-627a8f0b2365 Thanks!

App Update Stuck in "Waiting for Review" for Over 100 Hours — No Status Change or Communication
Hello, My app update has been in "Waiting for Review" for over 100 hours and has never moved to "In Review". There are no messages in the Resolution Center and no requests for additional information. I have already sent emails in multiple days but no answer. Details: • Apple ID: 6787716218 • Platform: iOS • Version: 1.0.1 (update — 1.0 is live and was reviewed without issue) • Build: 7 • Submitted: July 26, 2026 • Current status: Waiting for Review • Developer Support case number: 102937394456 This is an update to an existing, previously approved app. Agreements, Tax and Banking are all active, and all version metadata, export compliance and age rating information is complete. Nothing has changed on my side since submission. Could someone confirm whether the submission is proceeding normally or whether any action is required from me? Thank you and best regards, Eric
