What is the longest amount of time that your app has been in the "Waiting for review" status? Do you have any tips or strategies to reduce wait times for app reviews?

In my experience, submissions are typically reviewed within a few hours, even for resubmissions after a rejection. However, my most recent submission has been "Waiting for review" for almost 24 hours now. I’m wondering why this might be happening. Could it be due to the timing—it’s the weekend before Good Friday, so perhaps there are fewer reviewers available and a higher volume of submissions? Or maybe the fact that this is a resubmission after a rejection is causing the delay? Have others noticed longer wait times during holidays or for resubmissions?

I really appreciate the hard work of the review team and all Apple employees. To help ensure a smooth review process, I always try to make sure my app meets all the guidelines and include detailed release notes. Are there any other best practices I should follow to avoid delays?

Thanks!

24 hours is not a big deal. As long as it is not more than 3 days, you should not worry.
