Apps stuck in "In Review" for over 4 weeks

We are an established Apple Developer with multiple production apps.

Over the past four weeks, every submission under our developer account—including both new apps and updates—has either remained in "Waiting for Review" or "In Review" significantly longer than expected.

We have already:

Contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times
Been granted an expedited review
Replied to all support cases

Despite this, none of our submissions have progressed.

I'm unsure if this could be related to an account-level review or another issue affecting our developer account.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

Thank You!

We are not alone; hundreds of developers have the same problem. It appears that Apple is aware of the issue, but they cannot fix it.

Same situation here—I've been waiting for a review for over a month.

I've posted on this forum many times, but nothing ever changes.

I have several case IDs, and their email replies are completely random.

The app; World Football Live submission is still Waiting for Review and has now been waiting since Wednesday, August 12th.

We have contacted Apple Developer Support and followed up with App Review through App Store Connect, but have not received any further response.

One additional point: the current World Football Live version contains the same content as our SWC Live 2026 app, which was reviewed and approved by Apple on the same day. There is no explicit content available on the app.

We're trying to determine whether this is simply a review backlog or whether there may be an issue/hold preventing the submission from entering the review queue.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
