This is also happening to our app, Gaia GPS, and it's pretty much ruining my holiday. It seemed to effect US users around noon PDT, and then a batch of international users around 5 pm PDT.

Not part of this, but I have experienced in the past sporadic download corruptions with users. I've never figured out the exact cause, but a reinstall has always solved it. It's been roughly 10-15 users out of 25000 or so purchases. My best guess is that some part of the distribution pipeline does not fully validate the app package and re-download it if it fails.

One of my apps went into "In Review" status at midnight (19 hours ago) and still hasn't been rejected or approved. The rejection or approval has always happened in less than 12 hours for me, so it seems like Apple might be holding all approvals until they've resolved this issue. At least, I hope that's the case... I really feel for the developers who got a slew of one-star reviews because of this.

I've had apps "In Review" for a couple days.

I have two waiting-for-review updates that have been sitting in the queue for 9 days now. This seems much longer than my past experience of 2-4 days turn-around. I wonder if these delays are related to the corrupt updates issue.

Any developers know how to change an app update that is "Waiting for Review" from "Automatically Release" to "Hold for Developer Release?"

Just reject the binary -- better to wait a week for the update than to be in this situation.
