App stuck in review for an extended time resubmitted an updated build

I’m sharing my situation in case others have experienced something similar.

I initially submitted my app for review on February 4, and it remained in “Waiting for Review” for over 12 days without any feedback or request for additional information. I also sent a message through App Store Connect on February 11, but did not receive a response.

To help move things forward, I’ve now resubmitted an updated build with clearer onboarding, improved permission explanations, and some minor UI improvements. I included detailed notes for the reviewer explaining the changes.

I’m staying patient and cooperative, but I wanted to ask if others have encountered similar delays recently, and whether resubmitting helped unblock the review.

Thanks in advance for any insights 🙂

Just in case my new submission number is 5dc73caf-023c-45fb-858d-12d51efa283c
