What they did

An indie developer's iOS app had been "Waiting for Review" for 20 days. ChatGPT Dots first checked for problems on his side, such as pending agreements, then found the App Store support email addresses, wrote the escalation email and sent it. About 20 hours later he got an email saying the app was in the expedited review queue.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

My [app/listing/application] has been stuck in [status] with [platform] for [days]. First check whether anything is pending on my side (agreements, missing info, policy notices) and list it. Then find the right official support contact or escalation form for this, and draft a short, polite escalation with my case details. Show me the draft before sending, and watch my inbox for the reply.
