Hi everyone,

I submitted my iOS app (Hatırlatıcım) for review on October 13, and it's still showing "Waiting for Review" today, October 26.

It's been almost two weeks now, and the status hasn't changed at all. I haven't received any emails or requests for additional information from Apple either.

I contacted Developer Support on October 19, but haven't heard back from them yet.

I've seen a few other developers mentioning similar delays recently, so I'm wondering if this is a general issue with App Store reviews right now.

Has anyone who submitted an app around October 13–14 had theirs reviewed yet?

I'm also not sure if I should just keep waiting or if there's anything else I can do at this point.

Thanks!

ME TOO I've been Waiting for Review for weeks now and going above a month+.... No update or followups.. What is the point of paying $99 for this when others dont hassle you like this. Apple developer environment for distributing apps seems really bad compared to others.. I'm really considering just jumping ship and banning all apple products in my lineup.

Ditto. First review was immediately rejected (automation). Resubmitted on the 13th with no movement. Very dissapointed in Apple. As starlord said, "what is the point of paying $99 for this" when we seemingly get nothing but the silent treatment?

Just wanted to give an update on my situation.

I submitted my app on October 13 and after waiting about 14 days, Apple finally reviewed it on October 27. Unfortunately, it was rejected because some screenshots looked too similar to Apple's Clock app.

They only mentioned the screenshots, so I removed them and resubmitted the app on October 28. I didn't change anything in the code.

It's now October 30 and I'm back to Waiting for Review again.

So it's been 17 days since my original submission, and I'm still waiting. Honestly, it's pretty frustrating, especially since the issue was just with the screenshots.

Has anyone here had a resubmission reviewed recently? I'm wondering if I'll have to wait another two weeks.

Yeah, I did a reubmission and the wait got even longer. I'm in the loop since Sep 29th now. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/849963
