App not finished being reviewed for more than 3 weeks

Hi everyone,

I submitted my app for review nearly 3 weeks ago, and it’s still stuck in “Waiting for Review” status. My intended launch date was May 20, which I’ve now missed due to this delay. This has already impacted user acquisition and visibility.

I’ve submitted a request for expedited review (with a valid reason), but I haven’t received any update. I also emailed support at the two-week mark and only received a vague response.

This is incredibly frustrating, especially considering the annual fee we pay to use App Store Connect. I would appreciate any insight from others who’ve dealt with similar delays—or any advice on how to escalate this properly.

Any help or visibility on this would be appreciated.

Thank you for your post. We're investigating and will contact you in App Store Connect to provide further assistance. If you continue to experience issues during review, please contact us.

Thanks a lot, My app was accepted a few hours after I made this post. Hopefully future update reviews are quick as well.
