Since beginning of October, Apple has been delaying iOS app reviews for weeks (developer.apple.com)

I had my app submitted on 17 October accepted on Friday, so basically 2 weeks. Used to be 1-2 days max.

2 weeks for first review, only to realize I made a mistake and had to resubmit. Then another 2 weeks. Last update was reviewed in 2 days though.

Not the first time I hear about this kind of delay. It feels a bit like being held hostage :/ Distributing outside of the App Store definitely has its pros

[flagged]

I have a couple of apps, and it's been mixed, sometimes it's as fast as before, 2-2 days, sometimes close to two weeks... (this for apps submitted in close proximity of each other)

this happens sometimes, especially near holidays or when new ios versions drop. for apps that are essentially webviews, they often get flagged for 4.2 minimum functionality too, which adds to the back and forth. Also, check out letsdeploy.it
