My first app submission has been in Waiting for Review since 16 October 2026 with no change of state — twelve days. App: Parozo: Restaurant POS & KOT Apple ID: 6817765731 Version: 1.0.0 (iOS) Submitted: 16 Oct 2026, 9:10 AM Case ID: 103011293263 Version 1.0.0 was reviewed and rejected on 14 October. I addressed the feedback and resubmitted on 16 October. Since then the submission has not entered review. I understand this is a first app with no prior review history, and that review times are longer than usual at the moment, so I am not looking to jump the queue. I have already contacted App Review through the App Review Status form and have the case ID above. If anyone from Apple is able to confirm the submission is queued normally, or point out anything outstanding at my end, I would be grateful. Happy to provide demo credentials or a walkthrough video.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice from developers who have experienced prolonged App Review delays, and hopefully some help from someone at Apple who can look into this situation. My app, Parozo: Restaurant POS & KOT (iOS version 1.0.0), was initially reviewed by Apple, and I received feedback regarding several guidelines: Guidelines 2.3.10 and 2.3.3: App Store screenshots and accurate representation of the app. Guideline 3.1.1: In-app purchases and business subscription functionality. Guideline 4.5.4: Push notification permissions. I carefully reviewed Apple's feedback and made the requested changes. I replaced the screenshots with actual iOS app screenshots, made push notifications optional, and removed plan, pricing, registration, and renewal screens and purchase links from the iOS app to address the subscription-related concerns. I then submitted the updated build 1.0.0 (7) for review on October 16, 2026. However, the submission is still showing “Waiting for Review,” and more than seven days have now passed without the new review process starting or any further communication. I've also contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times regarding these delays. Unfortunately, I haven't received a meaningful response to my previous requests. I submitted another support request yesterday, but the issue remains unresolved. My latest App Review support case is 103003613618. I completely understand that app reviews take time and that Apple must carefully evaluate every submission. I'm not asking for the review guidelines to be bypassed or for special treatment. I have addressed the issues identified in the previous review and simply want to understand why the corrected submission is still waiting and whether any further action is needed from my side. As an independent developer, these repeated delays and the lack of communication make it difficult to plan a product launch, particularly after spending time addressing the feedback provided by App Review. Has anyone experienced a similar situation after fixing all the issues identified by Apple? Did your resubmission eventually move into review, and is there an effective way to get a status update when repeated support requests receive no response? I'd especially appreciate guidance from anyone who has successfully escalated a similar case, or from an Apple representative who can direct me to the appropriate team. Thank you for your time and help.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice from other developers who have experienced long delays with Apple App Review and, hopefully, some assistance from someone at Apple who can look into my situation. My first iOS app, Parozo: Restaurant POS & KOT (version 1.0.0, build 6), has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” since October 4, 2026. As of today, October 13, it has been waiting for approximately nine days, and the review process still hasn’t started. I’ve contacted Apple App Review and Developer Support multiple times, but unfortunately, I haven’t received a meaningful response or any update explaining the delay. I also have an existing App Review support case (Case ID: 102988509189), but the issue remains unresolved. I understand that review times can vary, especially for a first submission, and I’m not asking Apple to bypass its review guidelines. My concern is the prolonged waiting period combined with the lack of communication, despite repeated attempts to reach support. As developers, we rely on the App Store review process to launch our products and plan our business activities. When a submission remains pending without any communication, it’s difficult to know whether we simply need to wait or whether some action is required from our side. I’m hoping this post might reach someone from Apple who can help check the submission status or direct me to the appropriate escalation channel. Has anyone experienced a similar situation recently? If you managed to get a response or resolve a submission that was stuck in “Waiting for Review,” I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you. Thank you.
