“I found out that you can expedite Apple reviews if there's something major So we actually got one approved kind of quickly and then there was a bunch of issues So then I found out about this expedite review which then they would review it in like two hours instead of two days which kind of sped up our process”
Use Apple's expedited review to drop approval cycles from 2 days to 2 hours
When you're iterating through rejection loops, submit an Expedited App Review request at developer.apple.com — it collapses the standard 24-48 hour cycle to ~2 hours. That means 3-5 fix iterations per day instead of 1, turning a week-long approval slog into same-day launch. Reserve the expedite request for genuine blocker fixes so Apple keeps honoring them.
