Hi, hoping someone from App Review can take a look.

App: Flipped Dating: Dates, Not DMs
Apple ID: 6778089894
Submission ID: 4d2b40e3-2413-4c02-9e66-8ee58282f147

Timeline:

Sep 24: iOS 1.0 rejected under 4.3(b). I replied the same day with a demo account and screen recording.
Oct 5: filed an App Review Board appeal.
Oct 14: App Review replied asking me to resubmit.
Oct 15: resubmitted. It has been in “Waiting for Review” since then with no messages.

I haven’t resubmitted again since I didn’t want to reset the queue. Is there anything pending on my side, or anything I can provide to get this picked up? Thanks.

Not resubmitting again is the right call; a new submission would restart the wait. A few things worth checking:

Is the Oct 15 submission really tied to the appeal? On the App Review page, open the submission and confirm the build and version match what the Board asked for, and that nothing is listed under "Unresolved Issues".
Reply in the original rejection thread, not only a new support case: "Following the App Review Board's Oct 14 message, we resubmitted on Oct 15 (submission ID …). Is anything else needed from us?" That puts the appeal history in front of whoever picks it up.
Review notes: dating is one of the categories 4.3(b) names, so the reviewer who opens it needs the difference up front. Put two or three sentences in App Review Information → Notes on what's distinctive ("dates, not DMs": how the flow differs from swipe-and-chat apps), plus the demo account and a link to the screen recording.
If there's still nothing after that, the Contact Us form under App Review is the right channel to follow up on an appeal; mention the Board's reply date.
