Hello Apple Review Team, Our app update has been stuck in "In Review" status for almost 2 months, and we are unable to get any updates or response through the standard channels. App Details: App Name: Pomodoro Timer: CoffeePomodoro App ID: 6756186616 Version: 1.3.0 (Build 2) Submission ID: 50057266-51aa-4b7a-ad93-c3310c200f21 Date Submitted: March 15, 2026 Current Status: In Review (for ~60 days) We have already submitted multiple "Contact Us" requests through App Store Connect, but have not received any response or explanation for the extended review time. This prolonged delay is significantly impacting our release schedule and our ability to deliver bug fixes and improvements to our users. The update contains important fixes that our users are waiting for. Could someone from the App Review team please: Look into why this submission has been pending for this long? Provide an estimated timeline or any feedback if there's an issue with the build? Let us know if any additional information is required from our side? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Best regards

Hello, I'm posting again — and unfortunately, I already know how this thread is going to go. My app (ID: 6756186616) has now been stuck in "In Review" for 80 days. To save everyone time, here is the reply I expect to receive within a day or two, copy-pasted from the response on my last thread: "Thank you for your post. We're investigating and The App Review team will contact you in App Store Connect to provide further assistance. If you continue to experience issues during review, please contact us." Nothing actually happened after that reply last time. No follow-up in App Store Connect. No further communication. Just silence. When I escalated to Developer Support (case #20000111565861), I was told explicitly that Developer Support has no way to reach the App Review team and no authority to intervene on submissions stuck in review. So Developer Support points back to App Review, and the standard forum reply points back to "contact us" — which loops back to Developer Support. This is a closed loop that doesn't actually resolve anything for an independent developer. Concrete questions: Is there any real escalation path that doesn't end in an automated reply? Why has a submission been "In Review" for 80 days with zero communication? What should a solo developer do when both Developer Support and the forum response are dead ends? I'm not asking for special treatment. I'm asking for the review to actually move — in either direction. A rejection with feedback would be infinitely more useful than 80 days of silence. Thank you.

Hello everyone, My app (ID: 6756186616) was submitted on Mar 15, 2026, and has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" status for over 17 days. I contacted Developer Support (case #20000111565861) and received confirmation that it's proceeding normally, but no update since. On average, Apple reviews 90 percent of apps within 24 hours. However, there might be cases that need more review time, but mine exceeds two week. Any recent experiences with long queues? Thanks!

Hello, I'm posting again because my situation has not improved despite previous outreach. My app (ID: 6756186616, iOS 1.3.0) was submitted on March 15, 2026 — over 6 weeks ago. After about 4 weeks in "Waiting for Review," it moved to "In Review" on April 14, 2026. It has now been stuck in "In Review" for two full weeks with no further updates. I opened a Developer Support case (#20000111565861) earlier in the process and was told my submission was being investigated, but I have not received any follow-up communication since. Given Apple's stated review timelines, a 6+ week review with two weeks of silence during the active In Review phase is a serious blocker for an independent developer. I would really appreciate: Any clarity on whether something specific in my submission is causing this delay Whether there is an escalation path beyond Developer Support Whether anyone else has experienced similar timelines recently and how they were resolved Thank you for your time.
