notary tool consistently delay for 1 of my app even it already accepted multiple times

Hi,

I recently got a consistent delay from notary tool. I have viewed all your suggestions and understand that it "occasionally" will have further review and take longer time, but then it will be faster.

However, in my case, my app although is accepted many times. It is still significantly delay.

It is a native macOS app called ConniePad. Whenever I submit, it took me 2 days or more to finish notarise, which significantly affect my business. Could you please have a look on it.

For log detail about the time, and the ids:

This is not the pattern I typically see. My experience is that, when folks encounter delays like this, it usually clears without then coming back immediately. That’s why my standard blurb about this says:

As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognize them, and you should see fewer delays.

So, yeah, that’s weird. Weird enough that I asked the notary team to check on your requests. We believe that things are now working as expected. If you continue to see long delay, please reply here and I’ll take another look.
