App version and TestFlight build both stuck in “Waiting for Review”. Is this expected?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand if what I’m seeing in App Store Connect is normal, or if there’s something I should check on my side.

I submitted an iOS 1.2 app version for App Review and I also submitted a TestFlight beta build around the same time. Both are still showing as Waiting for Review.

The app version was submitted Thursday at around 10:59 PM, and the beta build was submitted Thursday at around 6:48 PM. Usually my beta builds have moved much faster than this, so I’m not sure if this is just current review backlog or if having both the app version and beta build waiting at the same time can slow things down.

A few details:

  • App: Mossly: Plant Care Journal
  • Platform: iOS
  • Version: iOS 1.2
  • Beta build: iOS 1.2 (40)
  • Both currently show: Waiting for Review

I haven’t received any message from App Review asking for more information.

Has anyone else seen TestFlight beta review and App Review sit in “Waiting for Review” for several days at the same time? Is there anything I can do besides wait, or any setting/submission state I should double-check?

Thanks.

I m sorry to hear yours, even mine is stuck since last 9 days, not sure whats wrong and no response from contact center. I am worried too

Sorry you’re dealing with it too. I think this may be a broader review backlog rather than something specific to my app/submission. I’ll keep waiting for now and avoid cancelling/resubmitting. If I hear anything from Apple or the status changes, I’ll update this thread.
