Apple has announced that the App Store review will be closed from December 23rd to 27th (both local time) ahead of the holiday season. The examination work is closed at this time of year, and the vacation schedule is the same as usual this year.
App update is also not possible
App Store apps will be screened by Apple for any violations of the App Store terms, both when the new app is launched and when the app is updated. If you do not pass the examination, not only will the new app not be delivered, but you will not be able to update the app to add new features or fix bugs. This examination will be closed from December 23rd to 27th (both local time).
So if you plan to update your app at the end of the year, developers will need to adjust their schedule to avoid this period. In addition, even if a major defect is found in the app during the holiday period of the examination work, it may not be possible to deal with it, so caution is required.
During this period, the update of the app will be stopped, which will delay the correction of bugs and may have some impact on the user side. However, this closure has been notified in advance, and the app developer has taken measures such as refraining from major updates immediately before, so it will not develop into a big problem very much.
