IOS – App Approved but IAP’s Waiting for review, not getting reviewed

app-store-connectiosios-appstore

We have had an App go through the approval cycle several times and while the status went into "Pending Developer Release", our IAP's never changed out of the "Waiting for Review" status. We have tried resubmitting and also creating new product ID's and then resubmitting.

Both times yielded the same result. Are we missing something or is there something we are missing?

I noticed from experience, that even when your app is approved, the IAP can take quite a while to get approved, especially when you have translated the IAP in (many) other languages, it seems that those needs to go to different teams that can understand the translation, to see if you deliver on your promise.

So in that mean time users get "Product not available" in the App. In my latest app I have 2 IAPs, the 2st one is approved 2 days after the App approval, the second which has more languages, is not yet approved (3rd day now).
