Very slow response to app review submissions

We are trying to launch an app with in-app renewable subscriptions for almost 2 months now


We submitted the initial build of the app around 10th of December and got the first rejection on 13th of December..

We've made updates and submitted a new build immediately

We realised that we needed to add more stuff into the initial release so we developer rejected the app on 15th of December and submitted an updated build

We got a new message on 9th of January regarding missing data from the subscriptions page..

We've updated the app with the suggestions and submitted a new build immediately

On 26th of January we received a new rejection this time with even more subscriptions issues that were not mentioned in the previous rejection..

We submitted a new build immediately

Later that day we received a rejection message that the app metdata is not complete and doesn't contain enough info about the subscriptions..

We've updated the metadata (description) to include missing information and resubmitted for review


This has been a rollercoaster for us and we'd like to hear what our options are here.. We've promised our clients that the app will be available for them in December encouraged by the quick review times reported online and two months later we are not even sure how much longer this review is going to take.. I mean everything seems rather subjective and random..


Not really sure on what our options are here.. Maybe simply submit a new bundle id with a new app and simply dismiss this one? After all, the initial review took 3 days.. Any advice?


Thanks

I wouldn't say that was slow response times -- it seems like Apple responded fairly quickly to all your submissions (barring their holiday break time). The only thing you can really do is make sure you have everything right and complete when you submit your app so it won't keep getting rejected.

Well, it appears that you were right.. The app got approved today.. Probably the delays were due to bigger workload during holidays and holiday break..


Thanks

Yes, Apple is really the worst when it comes to submitting an update or creating a new developer account.
