Adding our experience here, as we’re facing a similar and increasingly difficult situation. Initial submission: October 11, 2026. Latest resubmission: October 27, 2026. Current status: Waiting for Review, over 8 days. We’ve gone through multiple review cycles, a formal App Review Board appeal, and direct communication with an App Review representative. Following that communication, we promptly addressed all remaining feedback, updated our screenshots, provided technical clarifications and supporting screen recordings, and submitted an expedited review request. Despite all of this, the latest submission has not entered review, and our support follow-ups have not resulted in a substantive update. We’re a small startup with retail partners and a commercial launch that has now been delayed for more than three weeks. Has anyone in a similar situation managed to get their submission escalated or reviewed after App Review Board involvement? If an Apple App Review representative sees this, we’d be extremely grateful for assistance checking whether our submission is correctly queued or awaiting additional internal verification. Thank you.

Update: Our submission has now been Waiting for Review for over 100 hours. We have contacted Apple Developer Support, requested expedited review, and provided a detailed explanation of the disputed Guideline 4.3(a) rejection. We still have no substantive response. Could an Apple App Review representative please advise how to obtain direct assistance or escalate this case privately?

Hello Apple App Review Team, I’m facing a similar situation. Our startup’s application was rejected under Guideline 4.3(a), which we dispute and have provided evidence to explain. Our third submission has remained in Waiting for Review for over 60 hours, despite an expedited review request and multiple support follow-ups. This is causing serious disruption to our launch. Could an Apple representative help escalate our existing case or advise how to reach App Review directly? I can provide all identifiers privately through an official Apple channel.

Hello, I’m experiencing a similar issue. Our app was rejected under Guideline 4.3(a), despite being independently developed. We provided a detailed explanation and resubmitted, but it has remained Waiting for Review for over 60 hours. We have requested expedited review and contacted Developer Support without receiving a substantive response. The delay is causing serious financial harm to our startup. Could an Apple representative assist us privately or help escalate our case?
