Subject: Developer ID Notarization submissions stuck in “In Progress” for over 24 hours

Developer Team ID: R6KKTZV8SL

Environment:

macOS 26.2 (Build 25C56)
notarytool version: 1.0.0 (38)

I am unable to complete notarization of any submissions.

Affected submission IDs:

53fb3f5e-45e1-4435-9b46-6420d3fc1c98 Created: 2026-06-22T17:17:47.385Z Status: In Progress

0af4a2be-aa8d-4bed-ab0b-173bd1b62538 Created: 2026-06-23T02:29:35.134Z Status: In Progress

To rule out issues with my application bundle, I also submitted a minimal test archive (test.zip). That submission is also stuck in “In Progress”.

The issue affects every notarization submission I have attempted.

Commands used:

xcrun notarytool submit … xcrun notarytool history –keychain-profile breather-notary xcrun notarytool info –keychain-profile breather-notary

The submissions appear in history and info and remain in “In Progress”. Additionally, attempting to retrieve logs returns:

“Submission log is not yet available or submissionId does not exist”

Could you please investigate whether there is an issue with notarization processing for my team/account or a backend service issue affecting these submissions?

You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for additional analysis and may take longer to complete. As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognise them, and you should see fewer delays.

For lots of additional info about notarisation, see Notarisation Resources. Specifically, it links to a Q&A with the notary service team that’s quite instructive.
