I used to submit games and they were reviewed within a week's time till mid-2018 but since September, my games keep going to "In Review" status and stay in that status for ever.
I did try to cancel the submission and re-submit it, but every time, it goes to "In Review" within 24 hours and stays in same status for weeks. Its been at-least a month for 1 of my app and almost 3 weeks for another.
App Id's : 1437438165 , 1435726513
Any one else also facing similar issues?
My app has been stuck for almost a week. Please Apple take a look at the status since the "waiting for review" has not changed at all. We got rejected a few times and all those times the review went by at least 24 hrs before receiving a status. Now the it's been almost a week and it still stuck on waiting for review. Please take a look Apple !
Hi,
One of your colleagues held a grudge and with awareness of the crucial bug we have on the previous version and every week will make 1000 players angry with each cycle, he/she intentionally used the systemic gap for processing a request and holding our request under review status to cause more damage to us.
Do you have any suggestions for this kind of case after 10 days, because the Expedited Review request and contact to App Review Support were useless? @Andreas@AppReview
Hello, We're facing the same issue. Our app with id 1522000131 is "In-Review" for a month already. Status requests only gave us automated responses. Could you help us, @Andreas@AppReview please
Hello, the same problem with our app id 1566122910, cumulatively it is "In-Review" for more than 2 months. Could you help us too, @Andreas@AppReview please
Aug 26 2022 - Currently in 21st day of waiting for a new iOS app review. Received a message saying only "We need more time'. Curiously a MacOS app was reviewed within 24 hrs - does Apple treat iOS apps and MacOS apps differently? And are upgrades treated differently from new apps? Is Apple under attack for being sole gatekeeper to the iOS platform?
SimonKravis, not really. My iOS Game has been stuck in the review for the past 3 weeks. I worked on that game for 5-6 months and then submitted it on Appstore. It's painful, but we really can't do anything here.
Just waiting for a response from the App review team :-(
After the initial immediate rejection and the resolution message 'We need additional time to evaluate your submission and Apple Developer Program account. Your submission status will appear as "Rejected" in App Store Connect while we investigate. However, we do not require a revised binary or additional information from you at this time. ' , I noticed the Submit for Review button was enabled and clicked submit on 21 August.
The status then changed to In Review and on Sep 5 the iOS app was reviewed (and rejected). Whether this took 10 or 31 days I don't know. New version submitted on 7 Sep with no immediate rejection so we'll see how this one goes
The latest submission was reviewed in less than 24 hours - perhaps I was just unlucky
Same here... app id 629019487, iOS app have been stuck "In Review" for days. When I contacted @AppReview - got a response "I can confirm that your app is in the "Ready for Sale" status on the App Store as of Sep 8, 2022.", but that's macOS app, and not iOS app that was approved on Sep 8, 2022. Any help would be appreciated @Andreas, as this update fixes a crash that really bugs my users.
Hello @Andreas @AppReview,
Since July, our app(1536885649) has been stuck in Waiting for Review for at least 5 days for most of the versions.
Some versions were even stuck for 2 weeks, even though we submitted expedited reviews.
It's not happening intermittently, but for almost every version we submitted.
I'm worried that it may lead to delays in delivering our important features or hotfixes.
We would appreciate it if you could help us get our app's review speed back to normal.
Any information in this regard would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello, @Andreas @AppReview! Our app (1505352161) has been stuck in 'In Review' for 10 days. After sending information about our partners at the end of October, there is no news and no more questions. I would like to understand the reason for such a long delay and the estimated timeframe, since the latest version has fixed application crashes, which is important for users.
Thank you!
Similar issue. Our app, first release, was rejected for “other reason” on October 8, and we got a template message at the same time which said,
We need additional time to evaluate your submission and Apple Developer Program account. Your submission status will appear as "Rejected" in App Store Connect while we investigate. However, we do not require a revised binary or additional information from you at this time. While there may be a delay due to high submission volumes, we are working to complete our review as soon as possible. If we notice any issues that require your attention, we will let you know via App Store Connect. If we find no issues with your submission or account, the submission will be approved. Then we tried to write reply to the review team, resubmit the app, and make an appeal but nothing worked. We still haven’t got any information since then, almost 6 weeks. This is really unusual. Our app ID is 1624344206. Should we make an appeal again or just wait, or is there anyone we could talk? Any help would be appreciated @Andreas,@AppReview. Thanks a lot.
Oh, the audit team is not as efficient as the external publicity. I think we should work together to communicate with Apple's managers.
Hello. Our application with the ID ID 1505352161 has been "under consideration" for more than 1 month. Unfortunately, the technical support did not give any clear answer about the reasons for such a serious delay. A huge request to help our users get an updated version of @Andreas@AppReview, critical bug fixes are in the build, users complain very much. Also, we cannot update the application in other stores, because we are waiting for approval on your side.
