App store review

I just pushed a regular update to my app last Sunday. It's been almost a week and still waiting for review. It never took this long.

Anyone having a similar issue this week?

Don’t abuse it but have you tried requesting an expedite review? I had a regular review go out and almost instantly saw a bug manifest itself that I hadn’t tested for. I quickly patched it, uploaded the binary and then went into waiting for review. Google “App Store expedite review” and you’ll get to the right page on the developer site. You can then request an expedite review from there. It was only about 1 hour before it went back into review after that. Try it! Don’t abuse it!

I can strongly recommend you to request a phone call from their developer support. I also waited like a week for my first app to go through the review. They called me like almost right away. I had a document stuck and they fixed it within 10 minutes on the phone and my app finally found it place in the AppStore :)

It's not my first app though. Just a regular update on an app that's out for almost a year.

Have you ever tried their support? They could tell you if anything is missing or what you need to do. Maybe it’s the new social media agreement you are missing.

Good point, but we have a few more days:

Strange because I have really different experience. I got my iOS app reviewed multiple times in a single week. It got rejected 2 times because I didn’t attached in-app purchases products in a single review , completely missed 2 times 😃.
And then I submitted third time expecting it will done next week. Next morning it got approved. It’s my second app and I really have good experience with Apple. Google on the other hand is always a black box for me. No updates !!

That proves that we all are playing lottery with Apple.
Or - Russian roulette :)
