First app stuck in "Waiting for Review" since Oct 16 – expedite granted, event starts Nov 2

Hello,

Our first app "SDC 2026" (iOS, version 1.0, build 8) was submitted for review on October 16, 2026 and is still in "Waiting for Review".

  • Expedited review was granted on October 20.
  • We sent an App Review status inquiry on October 22 (Case ID 10300471494) but have had no reply.
  • App Store Connect shows no messages, warnings or missing information. Agreements are active.
  • TestFlight external testing for the same app was approved quickly.

The app is the official app for the 29th Sustainable Development Conference organised by SDPI, which starts on November 2, 2026, so attendees need it before then.

Could someone from App Review please check whether anything is blocking this submission?

Thank you.
