Hi everyone,
I’m wondering whether anyone else is currently experiencing unusually long App Review delays.
My app, LiveTunes, version 4.1.1, was initially rejected under Guideline 1.1 because of wording in the App Store description. The issue was metadata-only. I updated the description across all supported localizations and resubmitted the same build, which Apple allows for metadata corrections.
The app then remained in “Waiting for Review” for an unusually long time. I eventually canceled and resubmitted it. Interestingly, the related new in-app purchase, which had also been waiting for review, was approved approximately 10 to 20 minutes after I canceled and resubmitted the app.
However, the app itself is still stuck in “Waiting for Review” with no movement.
I also submitted a Developer Support request but have not received a response.
A few details:
• Existing app with a long App Store history
• Version 4.1.1
• Same binary that was previously reviewed
• Original rejection was for metadata, not the app binary
• All requested metadata changes were completed
• Associated in-app purchase is now approved
• No unresolved messages or required actions appear in App Store Connect
• Active subscribers are waiting for the new content in this update
Has anyone seen a submission become stuck after a rejection or resubmission like this?
Did uploading a fresh build number help, or did it simply restart the waiting period?
I’m trying to determine whether this is a current App Review queue issue, a routing issue related to the previous rejection, or something specific to resubmitting the same build.
Thanks for any insight.
