My app is not minimal at all but in fact quite developed and very specific. It does include the popular JUCE library as it is an audio app as well as the libsodium library for encryption purposes but it is a very unique application with advanced functionality. 

I have submitted multiple versions and its still taking around 20 hours to be notarised each time. 

At what point or with what changes might I expect this turn around time to improve, or is that just the way it is? Or perhaps am I doing something wrong? How can I improve the turn around time on this? Are there any other avenues to seek more specific feedback on how can I best optimise my app with respect to this?
