Launch event in a few days — expedited review approved but still Waiting for Review

Hi everyone, I submitted my new dating app and requested an expedited review because we have a launch event planned in a couple of days.

Apple accepted the expedited review request, but the app is still “Waiting for Review.” If it isn't reviewed in time, we'll unfortunately have to cancel or postpone the event.

Does anyone know if there is a way to contact the App Review team or a reviewer directly, or an email/support channel I can reach out to about the status of an already-approved expedited review?£

Thanks!

If you have any update ! Please update post Thank you

Quick update: I cancelled my previous review and submitted a new build with additional features, fixes, and improvements.

The new submission is now back in the review queue.

I’d really like to know if there is any way to get in touch with someone from Apple about this. For a social app, especially one launching iOS-only, it’s extremely difficult to coordinate a launch when the entire timeline depends on an unpredictable review delay.

We have users and launch activities waiting on the App Store release, so postponing everything simply because the app hasn’t been reviewed in time is becoming a real problem.

If anyone knows the best support channel or a contact path for App Review, I’d really appreciate it.
