Will Apple review my app within 24 hours?

Apple currently reports reviewing at least 50% of submissions in under 24 hours and 90% in under 48 hours. These are aggregate figures, not a promise for your app or a guarantee of approval.

Starts with
Apple does not define an individual clock start in these aggregate figures. Check your submission’s actual review status.
Ends with
A review outcome, not necessarily approval or a live app.

What can change the wait

  • An incomplete submission can delay review or prevent it from passing.
  • A percentage across submissions does not establish your completion date. Do not turn it into a personal countdown.
