Hello, My first submission for a new app has been in “Waiting for Review” for 7 days, with no status change and no message in App Store Connect. Details:

•	App Apple ID: 6794950418
•	Version: 1.0 (build 11)
•	Submitted: August 4, 2026 at 13:51 CEST
•	Submission ID: 24fe4981-11a7-4425-8694-93cae015b2cd
•	Current status: Waiting for Review (never moved to In Review)

There is no rejection, no request for additional information, and nothing in the Resolution Center. Review notes include everything needed to test the app, and the build has been running fine in TestFlight. Is there anything on my side that could be holding this submission in the queue, or is this simply the current backlog? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Did you ever resolve this? I'm going on day 3 with a new app. I've had two apps in the past that were usually 12-24 hours always. I'm wondering if it's just because this is this app's first submission, new leadtime for the app store connect, or what. Any info on if it finally entered review or if you took it down and resubmitted would be helpful, thanks!

No we are still waiting for review without any additional information. I have also submitted an app earlier this year and I hadn’t this problem.
