Hello everyone,
I'm facing a delay with my first iOS app submission and would appreciate some guidance from developers who may have experienced a similar situation.
We submitted our app, Venkatesh Traders (iOS Version 1.0), under our organization's Apple Developer account, ELVA TECH, on October 19, 2026.
Since submission, the status has remained unchanged at "Waiting for Review" for 11 days. It has not moved to "In Review", and we haven't received any communication or requests for additional information from the App Review team.
Here are the details:
- App Name: Venkatesh Traders
- Version: iOS 1.0
- Submission Date: October 19, 2026
- Current Status: Waiting for Review
- App Store Connect App ID: ***
- Account Type: Organization
I have also attempted to contact Apple Developer Support regarding this delay but haven't received a response yet.
I understand that review timelines can vary, especially for first-time submissions. However, 11 days without any status update is concerning.
I'd appreciate advice on the following:
- Has anyone experienced a similar delay with their first App Store submission?
- Is there any recommended way to escalate or request a review status update?
- Could there be any issue with the submission that is preventing it from entering the review queue?
Any suggestions or insights from the developer community would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
