Unusually Long "Waiting for Review" Times This Week - Anyone Else?

Last week I sent a Mac and iOS set of builds to TestFlight...they approved the iOS in 24 hours or less, but it took them 3 days on the Mac. They rejected my Mac app (rightly so lol). I sent the fix very late in the evening on the 15th and I have not yet seen a review just yet. I suspect there are less reviewers for Mac.

Thank you for your post. We believe we have resolved this issue. If you continue to experience issues during review, please contact us.

@App Review No you haven't were all still stuck in Pending review, what's the actual reason?

My app has been stuck in TestFlight review for over 2 days now. Iv'e never had it take so long. Usually they're approved in under an hour.

Update: My first app resubmitted on 9th Feb 2026 finally moved to 'In Review' after 15 calendar days (11 business days). I received feedback just six minutes later. It seems a current backlog is causing longer, more typical wait times depending on how the app is routed.🙏

I submitted my app on 11th Feb 2026, still waiting for review. I sent 5 different request to support and 1 post in the forum and finally I got a feedback. They are just saying 'be patient'

Same here, submitted my app on 8th Feb 2026 days later they found a reason to request more information about the functionality which was there since v1.0 and they approved 4 versions prior to this update and since then I am still waiting. Sent several mails and called them directly but no success. Still waiting for my update to be reviewed.

Yes, same here. Submitted TestFlight external test (beta) app builds on Feb 09. The macOS build was approved Feb 11. The iOS build is still waiting for review. I upped the build number once, no dice. I requested a support ticket (email), no response. I had them call me. To their credit they called immediately. Explained the situation. The lady said she sent an 'expedite review request' to the review team. As a first time indie developer (first app), I am so excited to get my creation out there, and so distressed at this friction before I can even have beta testers test it. 24 hours after the alleged 'expedited review request', still waiting.

I have had an app in waiting for review for almost 10 days. I also have a TestFlight build of another app that’s been in review for 4 days. the test flight delay is nuts.

My app has been in "waiting for review" status for almost a month. Have sent 3 emails with no response and talked to a rep on the phone 2 weeks ago that said they would expedite it. Still no change.
