Hello Apple Developer Community,

I submitted my iOS application, SUDOne, for the first time on 14 October 2026 on 12:43 AM, and its status has remained Waiting for Review since submission.

I understand that App Review timelines can vary depending on several factors. However, the delay is affecting our planned release schedule and project deadlines. The Android version has already been released, and we are waiting for the iOS version to proceed.

I have already contacted Apple Developer Support regarding this issue, but so far I have received only automated acknowledgements.

Could anyone please advise on the following?

Is it normal for a first-time app submission to remain in “Waiting for Review” for several days?

Is there an official way to request a status update or check whether any action is required from our side?

Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently, and how was it resolved?

I am not looking to bypass the review process; I would simply appreciate guidance on the appropriate next steps.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

I'm experiencing the same, I think it's because they're busy with iPhone Duo apps

Hello everyone,

I’m following up on my earlier post, as I have still not received any response or guidance regarding my app’s review status.

My iOS application, SUDOne, was submitted for its first App Review on 14 October 2026 at 12:43 AM IST, and its status is still showing “Waiting for Review” as of 26 October 2026.

The delay is affecting our planned release schedule and project deadlines, as the Android version has already been released and we are waiting for the iOS version to go live.

I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times and also submitted an expedited review request, but I have not yet received a meaningful update. I have received only automated acknowledgements so far.

Could anyone from the community who has experienced a similar situation recently please share their experience or suggest the appropriate next steps? I would particularly appreciate guidance on whether there is any way to confirm that the submission is progressing normally or whether any action is required from our side.

I fully respect Apple’s review process and am not seeking to bypass it. I am simply looking for an update or guidance on how to proceed.

Thank you for your time and support. I would be grateful for any advice.
