Update: it has been 3 weeks now.... for a simple bug fix update .... three weeks stuck at "waiting for review"....

still not resolved and App Review team is not responding to emails.

Update: After posting this (so 2 days ago) I received and email from App Review support telling me that my expedited review request was accepted and that review will begin shorty after, yet it NEVER did and the app is still waiting for review after 48 hours of that email!!!! The update has been waiting for review for 14 days now! I would really appreciate some help from the App Review team because this does not seem normal at all.

Just got approve. weird timing

Did you manage to find any workarounds regarding this?

When defining an event, starting from iOS 17.4 you can set includesPastActivity to true. Which I think solves one of the problems you mentioned. try something like this: let event = DeviceActivityEvent( applications: appTokens, threshold: DateComponents(minute: 60) includesPastActivity: true )
