Hi everyone,

Our first app submission has been in "Waiting for Review" for 8 days now, and I'm wondering if others are seeing similar delays right now.

Details:

App: Pogne (iOS), version 0.1.0, build 15
Submitted: September 30
Status: Waiting for Review (it has never moved to "In Review")
Expedited review requested: October 6
Contact case ID: 102984777071 (phone support currently shows as unavailable)
Also emailed App Review support twice, no reply yet.

Everything on our side looks complete: agreements, tax and banking are all Active, and there are no messages in App Review or the Resolution Center. Demo account credentials are provided in the review notes.

A few questions for the community:

Are others seeing longer than usual wait times this month?
Is there anything else we can do besides waiting, without resubmitting? (We'd rather not lose our place in the queue.)
For those who requested an expedited review recently, how long did it take to hear back?

Thanks a lot for any insight. And if anyone from App Review sees this, we'd really appreciate a look at the case above.

Same here. My first app has also been in "Waiting for Review" since 30 Sep, after answering a Guideline 2.1 request. Expedite requested 5 Oct, status case opened 7 Oct, no reply yet. I'll share here if mine moves.

Our first app was submitted for review Sept 30 or October 1. Got feedback that it needed work October 2. I re-submitted very quickly after getting feedback and it's been stuck "Waiting for Review" since then.

I have been able to speak to the dev support. The agent was super sweet and forwarded my "waiting for review" to " in review". Well see from here.

Yeah same here, Sep 30 was our last rejection, during which the reviewer didn't use the test account credentials we provided and rejected us. Have been waiting ever since, even tried the Expedited queue, still zero movement. Wishing everyone luck!
