My app was submitted on 1/27/26 for review and is still in "Waiting for Review" status, with no updates. I thought there might be an issue and submitted a Support Request several days ago, but haven't heard back, and my request to schedule an App Review session was denied as well.

Hi everyone - My first iOS app submission has been in "Waiting for Review" since Jan 27 (we actually submitted Jan 23, saw no movement, and resubmitted with a small update), and Apple Support has not responded to my outreach. Since Jan 27, our team has implemented a handful of app updates from our roadmap and plans to submit the updated version of the app once the first submission is approved. However, we're at a crossroads: Do we wait for the first submission (currently 14 days and counting) and submit the updated version once (hopefully) approved, rolling the dice that an update to an existing app would see a faster 2-3 day turnaround? Cancel our current version and resubmit the updated one, with the risk that we're just moving ourselves to the back of the queue and get stuck in another 15-20 day "Waiting for Review" status? Any devs with insight or experience navigating these choices, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My app was submitted on 1/27/2026 and is still in "Waiting for Review" with no updates. I submitted a request to Support several days ago with no response to see if there was an issue that needed to be addressed, and my request to schedule an App Review session was denied.
