Waiting days for Apple’s app review can be a problem when time is critical. Thankfully, Apple allows expedited reviews in certain cases. Here’s how to get one — fast.

✅ When You Can Request It

Apple approves expedited reviews for:

  • 🔧 Critical bug fixes affecting users
  • 📣 Time-sensitive events (product launches, marketing, PR)
  • ⚠️ Legal or urgent issues

Routine updates don’t qualify.

🛠 How to Request It

  1. Go to the form:
    https://developer.apple.com/contact/app-store/?topic=expedite
  2. Sign in with your Apple Developer account.
  3. Fill out the form:
    Include your app name, App ID, platform, and your reason.
  4. Submit and wait — Apple usually replies within 24–48 hours.

✍️ Tip: Keep It Short and Clear

“This update fixes a critical crash affecting users on iOS 17.4. We’re requesting expedited review to minimize negative impact and user loss.”

Thanks for reading : )
