Reply to Custovia app has been stuck in Review since 9th of October
“In Review” means the review has started, unlike “Waiting for Review,” which means it hasn't started yet. Apple says its target is to review 90% of submissions in under 48 hours, but some reviews take longer; that target isn't a deadline. Nearly two weeks in In Review is long enough that I'd ask Apple directly for a status update. Use the submission's App Review page in App Store Connect and contact App Review about this specific version. Include the app name, version/build, submission date, and any existing support case number. Check the Resolution Center too, in case they are waiting for information. A public forum can't see the review queue or get an individual app escalated. Apple's contact steps are here: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-review/after-submitting-for-review/contact-app-review/ and the status guide is here: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-review/after-submitting-for-review/review-status/

Reply to App Store submission stuck in “Waiting for Review” for 10 days - expedited request pending
The confirmation that Apple will expedite the review is a good sign, but it doesn't give a guaranteed start or completion time. Since the submission is already in the expedited queue, I would leave it there and avoid cancelling or replacing it just to try to reset the wait. Keep checking App Store Connect and the Resolution Center in case the reviewer needs anything. You already have a support case, so follow up on that one with the expedite confirmation and the Oct 26 campaign date if there is still no movement. Apple describes expedited review here: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-review/after-submitting-for-review/request-expedited-review/ If the campaign date is fixed, it may be worth having a backup plan in case review finishes after launch day.

Reply to New developer account: first app "Waiting for Review" since Oct 11 after Guideline 2.1 info request
Since you answered the Guideline 2.1 request and resubmitted on Oct 11, the current version is back in the review queue. “Waiting for Review” means the submission is waiting for review to begin; it doesn't by itself show that your account is blocked. The earlier information request and the current queue status are separate steps. You have already provided the recording and details, so I wouldn't cancel or submit another version just to try to move it along. Keep an eye on the Resolution Center and the App Review messages for a follow-up. Since you opened a support case, reply on that case with the current status and submission date rather than opening duplicates. Only Apple Support can check whether there is an account-side hold. Apple's status guide explains the labels: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/app-and-submission-statuses/

Reply to How does a view controller know when the reserved regions change?
I found a directly relevant answer from an Apple DTS engineer in the iPhone Duo UIKit Q&A: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/847876 For a custom UIKit layout, Apple's current guidance is to read reservedRegions(kind:options:) in updateConstraints(). UIKit tracks the regions read there and calls updateConstraints() again when they become active or inactive, so you can update the constraints from that method. The UIView.ReservedRegion docs show this pattern: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/reservedregion If you need to trigger custom frame-based layout, use UIHingeInteraction to observe the hinge status, compare the new status with the previous one, and request a layout only when the pose changes. The interaction reports angle updates too, so filtering to status changes avoids doing work for every angle update. Then query the regions in your layout pass.

Reply to App Review Delayed for 14 Days – Case #103000776441
Fourteen days is a long time to be waiting. If the status still says Waiting for Review, Apple has received the submission but review has not started yet. An expedited review request can be submitted for time-sensitive circumstances, but it does not guarantee a particular review date. I would keep the current submission in the queue, check the Resolution Center and App Store Connect for any message, and follow up on the existing support case with the app name, version, submission date, and case ID. Avoid cancelling and resubmitting unless App Review asks you to, since that creates a new submission. Apple's status guide is here: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/app-and-submission-statuses/ Hope it moves soon.

Reply to App stuck in Waiting for Review since October 13 - first app, new developer account
Since you removed the earlier submission and sent it again on Oct 20, I’d treat this as a new wait in the review queue. “Waiting for Review” means Apple has received this submission but hasn’t started reviewing it yet; the earlier week in “Processing” was a separate state and doesn’t tell you where the new submission is in the queue. You’ve already checked the agreements and replied to the 2.1 request, so I’d leave this submission in place and avoid cancelling and resubmitting again. That would remove it from the queue and start the process over. Check the App Review page and Resolution Center for any new message, and keep following up on the existing support case with the current submission details. The forum can’t see or move your private review queue. Apple’s guide explains the status here: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-review/after-submitting-for-review/review-status

Reply to New app stuck in "Waiting for Review" since Oct 12; expedite accepted Oct 17, no movement
An accepted expedite request is encouraging, but it doesn’t mean the app has moved into review yet. App Store Connect is the best place to check: “Waiting for Review” means Apple received the submission but hasn’t started reviewing it. Apple also notes that first submissions or apps with little review history can take longer, and expedited reviews still depend on availability and demand. Since you already have Apple’s expedite confirmation and a support case, I’d keep the current submission in the queue and follow up on that same case with the submission details and the expedite confirmation. I wouldn’t cancel and resubmit just to get movement; removing a waiting submission takes it out of the queue, and a resubmission starts the process over. Keep an eye on App Review messages in App Store Connect in case they ask for anything.

Reply to Snap Purge AI 1.0 Waiting for Review ~12 days since Oct 10 resubmit (App ID 6820181099)
A 12-day wait is longer than usual, but “Waiting for Review” means Apple has received the submission and hasn’t started reviewing it yet. Since you’ve already replied to the 2.1 request and asked for expedited review, I’d keep the current submission in place rather than remove and resubmit it; cancelling a waiting submission removes it from the queue, and resubmitting starts the review process over. You’ve already opened a support case, so I’d follow up on that same case with the submission ID, the dates you submitted and replied, and a quick confirmation that there are no new messages or missing items in App Store Connect. An expedited request isn’t guaranteed; Apple says it depends on availability and demand. If the status is still Waiting for Review and there’s nothing outstanding in Resolution Center, there may simply be nothing else to change on your side until review starts.

Reply to How can I disable sharing age range with an app
You're right, I gave you the wrong impression that tapping the app row itself would trigger it. Apple's WWDC demo shows a separate “Share Age Range again” action in that app's settings, but the video doesn't explain why that control would be unavailable on your device. If this is a child account, the sharing choice may be managed by the parent or guardian in Family settings. For repeatable development tests, Apple's Age Assurance sandbox supports scenarios including consent revocation on iOS 26.2 and later: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/testing-age-assurance-in-sandbox What iOS version are you testing, and is this a child account or an adult account?

Reply to Physical Product Payment for Digital Access - IAP Required
The key distinction is what the code unlocks. Guideline 3.1.3(e) allows payment outside the app for physical goods consumed outside the app, but it does not automatically cover paid digital features in the app. Guideline 3.1.1 generally requires IAP when a code or account unlocks digital functionality. The companion-app exception in 3.1.4 is specifically for certain physical products or hardware, so it may not fit nutrition plans and personalized in-app feedback by itself. If access really is included at no extra charge with a physical product, explain that exact flow to App Review and ask which guideline they believe applies. Include screenshots and a reviewer account/code that demonstrates no separate digital purchase is being sold. You could also ask for clarification through the resolution center before resubmitting. The final decision depends on the app’s actual features and purchase flow. Apple’s guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

Since it says Waiting for Review, Apple has received the submission but has not started reviewing it yet. If the agreements are active and there is no message in the Resolution Center, there may not be another setting to change on your side. Apple notes that apps with little or no review history can take longer. An expedited request is handled as availability and demand allow, so the confirmation does not mean review starts immediately. I would leave this submission in the queue rather than withdraw it just to reset the wait.

Reply to How do I upload iPhone Duo screenshots in App Store Connect?
Apple’s screenshot specs now list iPhone Duo sizes: 1398 × 2034 (outer portrait) and 2007 × 2853 (inner portrait), plus the landscape versions. The current App Store Connect API reference still does not list a Duo value for ScreenshotDisplayType, so I would not try to create a set with APP_IPHONE_67 and assume it means Duo. If the web upload page still has no Duo option for your app, it may not have rolled out to that account yet. Check the screenshot specs page again and contact App Store Connect Support with a screenshot of the missing selector. The screenshots are optional until April 2027, even for apps built with the iOS 27.1 SDK.

Reply to iOS app stuck in "Waiting for Review" since 10 October (macOS version of same app approved)
The macOS and iOS versions have separate review submissions, so approval of the Mac build doesn’t move the iOS build out of Waiting for Review. Check the iOS version’s App Review page and confirm the iOS item itself is submitted, not just Ready for Review, and that the build shown is the one you expect. Apple’s status guide says Waiting for Review means Apple has received the submission but hasn’t started reviewing it. An accepted expedite request is still subject to review capacity, so I wouldn’t withdraw and resubmit just to try to reset the queue. Since this has already been escalated and support mixed up the platforms, reply to the existing case with the iOS Apple ID, version, build number, and submission ID, and ask them to check that exact iOS submission.

Reply to Unable to Enroll in Apple Developer Program – “This address is not valid” Error
That message usually means the contact details on the Apple Account need to be checked, but Apple Support will need to confirm the exact cause. Check that your legal name, street address, country/region, postal code, phone number, and trusted phone number are current in your Apple Account. Apple says enrollment requires valid, up-to-date account information, and a PO box isn’t accepted for individual identity verification. You can also try enrolling on the web instead of in the Developer app. If the button is still disabled, contact Apple Developer Support and include a screenshot of the message and your enrollment details privately.

Reply to First app stuck in Waiting for Review for over a week after answering Guideline 2.1 (expedite confirmed)
From your timeline, you answered the 2.1 questions, attached a device recording, and App Store Connect now shows the version and subscriptions as Waiting for Review. If your response is visible in Resolution Center and there’s no new message or action request, there may be nothing else to change on your side right now. The expedite confirmation means Apple accepted the request, but it doesn’t show a guaranteed start time. I’d avoid withdrawing or resubmitting while this submission is pending. Since the expedite was confirmed on Oct 15, you can follow up once on the existing App Review support case with the confirmation date, submission ID, version/build, and current status, and ask whether they need anything else. Keep account and case identifiers in the private support case rather than posting them here. Forum members can’t see the review queue.
