Is Apple Experiencing Delays or Technical Issues with the App Store Review Process?

Hello Apple Developer Community,

I'm reaching out to ask whether anyone else is currently experiencing unusually long review times in App Store Connect.

Our app, NumbuX, has been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status for approximately three weeks, without any updates or requests for additional information.

We understand that review times can vary, but this delay seems significantly longer than usual.

I would appreciate any clarification regarding the following:

Are there any known technical issues or backlogs affecting the App Store review process?

Are other developers experiencing similar delays?

Is there a recommended way to escalate or request an update when an app remains in "Waiting for Review" for several weeks?

Could there be an issue with our submission that is preventing it from progressing, even though no action is requested in App Store Connect?

We want to ensure that there is nothing missing on our side and that our submission is being processed correctly.

We have also opened few tickets in different areas and we have not had any replied yet. Is anyone in the same situation?

Thank you in advance for any information or guidance.

Same here. First app on a new organisation account: answered an “Information Needed” (2.1) request and resubmitted on 24 October, and it has sat in “Waiting for Review” ever since.

A support request from 29 October and an expedite request from 2 November have had no reply, and two phone callbacks today ended after 30 and 60 minutes on hold. Nothing is asked of us in App Store Connect.

Would also really appreciate knowing whether there’s a backlog, or anything on new accounts that holds submissions back.
