Same issue here. I submitted my first app 7 days ago and it is still under "Waiting for Review" status. I don't know if this is my luck each time I participate in a new platform, but all my iOS developers colleagues confirmed that Apple usually takes around 24-48 hours to start reviewing the app, which is not in my case. I really get frustrated about the process here, since Apple does not have an automated process to review the applications like Google does. I did not experience this delay ever in my life with Google. The process there usually takes minutes, and in worst cases takes around 24 hours (rarely happens).
And the most frustrating issue, Apple does not respond to the profiled cases via Email at all. I have sent the developers support team 3 times without a single response, this is very annoying.
Does Apple take these cases seriously? I hope so!
