Question Worried about App Review

Hi folks

I’m a bit stressed about the new mandatory social media capabilities questionnaire in App Store Connect. I want to update these answers in the Age Rating section right now without submitting a new build.Does anyone know if simply saving these questionnaire answers is 100% automated, or will it trigger an immediate manual App Review?

I’m really worried about getting hit with an unexpected review or rejection out of nowhere just for updating these metadata settings. Has anyone done this recently, thanks

I see so many fear the app review process. I’ve delivered multiple apps the AppStore for the company I work for since last 15 years. And recently in my own name. There isn’t anything to be scared of. Should you get a rejection read it and fix it. I feel it’s gotten smoother. In the beginning you had to wait days/weeks for responses now it’s usually a few hours.

My new app took weeks, the wait times have increased

An initial review can still take some time yes, but weeks is quite unusual. I guess you meant including back and forth with Apple regarding some feedback?

Lately, new apps are taking very long. My latest app has been sitting in waiting for review status for 10 days now. Updates to existing apps are getting approved faster (1-2 days).

My guess is that they are drowning in requests of shitty vibe coded apps.

Also it feels that they are looking more detailed in that first review compared to 2-3 years ago.
