My first submission has been in "Waiting for Review" for 10+ days, and every attempt to reach App Review has gone unanswered.

App ID: 6818449706

  • Oct 3: Guideline 2.1 – Information Needed. Replied the same day with everything requested and resubmitted.
  • Oct 6: Contacted App Review about the status. No response.
  • Oct 9: Requested an expedited review. No response.

I've done everything that was asked, promptly and in full, and I've had no communication since. I haven't withdrawn the submission, so I'm still in the queue.

Someone from the team, please confirm that my 2.1 reply was received and check whether the submission is stuck for a technical reason? If anything else is needed from me, I'll provide it right away.

Upd: on Oct 13 (after the above was posted) my expedited review was picked up, and I received a Guideline 2.1(b) "Information Needed" request. I answered the same day.

Since then, 8 days with no response and no status change, even though it's in Expedited Queue now :(
The submission is waiting on App Review, not on me.

Lets see how long it takes to finally publish first app on app store

Upd: the wait after my 2.1(b) answer ended up being 2 weeks. On Oct 27 I got a rejection under Guideline 3.1.1. I fixed it and resubmitted on Oct 28, and it's now been a week back in Waiting for Review.

I'm keeping this thread as a diary of updates, so other devs can get a rough idea of the timelines while publishing very first app in App Store
