I am looking for some insight into current App Store review times.
The Situation: I submitted my new app for its first review on February 3rd. It has been sitting in the "Waiting for Review" state for 11 days now and has not moved to "In Review."
The Impact: We had a major launch event planned for today (Feb 14). We have marketing campaigns live and users waiting, but we have officially missed our launch window because the app is still sitting in the queue.
My Questions:
Is anyone else experiencing wait times this long (10+ days) just to enter the review stage?
How much time does it typically take for a first-time submission to go live once it finally enters review?
Is there any way to flag this delay if it has exceeded the standard 48-hour window?
We are losing marketing budget every hour this is delayed. Any advice on how to get this moving would be appreciated.
Thanks.
