I submitted my first app (App ID: 6786999941) on October 1, 2026. Today is October 16, 2026, and the app is still stuck in the "Waiting for Review" state.

The automated email I received upon submission stated that "50 percent of apps are reviewed in 24 hours and over 90 percent are reviewed in 48 hours."

My app appears to be among those 10% that get delayed.

While I am waiting patiently, there is no indication on my dashboard as to why the build hasn't been picked up for a human review yet. All agreements, tax modules, and banking forms are fully accepted and active.

I submitted an App Review Status Inquiry 7 days ago under Case ID: 102992050872, but I have not received a response.

This is my only developer account, and this is a completely custom lifestyle app built entirely from scratch. Could an Apple team member please help verify if my submission is correctly queued, or if there is an administrative/identity hold blocking it from routing to a reviewer?

Kindly help me understand if I missed an essential step, and suggest how I can get traction on this review. Thank you in advance.

Dear Developer Support Team, When should I expect somebody to look at my app. It entered third week and still "Waiting for review". It is very discouraging. Kindly take a look.

Same here - unusually long waiting time lasting 4 days already, while our Android OS updates was live within 24 hours.

No way to contact anyone either.

It’s not just you, majority of new app submissions are taking several weeks to review due to all the vibe coders bloating submissions. I’d say realistically 90% of submissions are taking multiple weeks now.

The only apps getting 24-48 hours are those that are already on the app store (from personal experience here).

I’ve had personal apps reviewed within 24 hours and business app in review for weeks on submission and still waiting, so much that it’s impacting our business but Apple couldn’t care less.

ThankYou Apple review team!

All,
My app got reviewed on 20th day, with a rejection. I have fixed the issue and re-submitted on October 21st, 2026. Hoping a faster response time time.
