Hello everyone,
I am trying to understand whether this is a normal delay or if there may be an account-level review issue affecting my submissions.
I am an individual developer. I submitted my first app for review on March 14, 2026. It remained without a meaningful response until March 31, 2026. During this time, I sent three expedite review requests, but none of them helped.
Because nothing moved, I withdrew the previous submission and uploaded a third build for the same app. However, the app is still stuck in review flow.
At the same time, I submitted my second app on March 22, 2026. I also requested an expedite review for that app, but it is still in Waiting for Review as well.
So currently: • App 1 was first submitted on March 14, 2026 • Multiple expedite requests were sent • The original submission was withdrawn and a new build was submitted • App 2 was submitted on March 22, 2026 • Both apps have been heavily delayed • One is still in review flow, and the other is still Waiting for Review
I would like to ask: 1. Has anyone experienced this kind of delay on an individual account, especially with multiple apps at the same time? 2. Could this indicate an account-level issue, manual queue hold, or some kind of hidden review flag? 3. Is there any effective way to escalate this beyond normal expedite requests? 4. Would contacting App Review again help, or is there another correct channel for this situation? 5. If I withdraw and resubmit again, is there any chance that it makes the delay worse?
I am not asking for special treatment. I am only trying to understand what may be causing such an unusual delay and what the most effective next step is.
Any insight from developers who faced a similar situation would be very helpful.
Thank you.
