Waiting For Review Since July 31, 2026

I submitted my app to App Review on July 31, 2026, at 7:04 PM PDT. As of August 12, 2026, it remains in Waiting for Review and has not moved to In Review.

This is a new app submission. I understand review times can vary and that Apple’s stated review timing is an average rather than a guarantee. However, the submission has now been waiting for nearly 12 days, which seems unusually long.

Has anyone else experienced extended Waiting for Review times recently? Is there a known App Review backlog, or is there anything I should check in App Store Connect that could be delaying the submission?

Thank you.

I'm in the same boat as you. I submitted my app on the July 30th and it still shows Waiting For Review. So you're not alone... Google Approved my App in 1 day but I'm waiting for Apple so I can launch them together. It's very frustrating.
