I was rejected 3 times, pretty much validly really, with 6 - 10 day review cycles. Yes, it took around a month to get in and accepted, during which I removed features, simplified others, and added and added and added resilience. On the bright-side, the app is now pretty bullet-proof, works correctly with the AV panel controls, handles interruptions tidily etc., etc. I'm totally grateful to the App store reviewers for being such hard-asses.

I have had the exact same experience, though my rejections were more legalese like: "we don't accept invitation request screens in apps".

But it did take 3 rejections spanning a month before I got through.
