I have multiple submissions for an app notarization. The goal is to distribute the DMG on my website rather than the app store (which I also have a submission in review for). These are the notarization logs: -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-06-23T20:26:46.597Z id: 75972c58-bc83-44a9-b3af-4aff1b1839c3 name: Mira-Assist-Fresh.dmg status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-06-23T17:53:11.825Z id: 4bccdfb6-6663-41d3-89bc-c0a15fbdd4b8 name: Mira Assist.zip status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-06-23T17:45:10.342Z id: fedca538-7619-4a7f-bcc8-3199d6e4b1a6 name: Mira-Assist-1.0.0-Hardened.dmg status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-06-23T02:51:04.289Z id: 19a866b9-e664-4641-b137-6ac852c14ac9 name: Mira Assist-1.0.0.dmg status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-06-23T02:44:25.372Z id: 455209e5-91dd-4324-aac0-d582f88efc95 name: Mira Assist-1.0.0.dmg status: In Progress The earliest of which occured more than 18 hours ago. This is my first time submitting an app for notarization. I also have a developer account that was created ~1-2 days ago.

Yesterday there were reported outages on the Developer ID Notary Service, but it was reported pretty late and we were able to notice the outages in real time. It says resolved now, however an error still persists: Error: HTTP status code: 403. A required agreement is missing or has expired. This request requires an in-effect agreement that has not been signed or has expired. Ensure your team has signed the necessary legal agreements and that they are not expired. Is there an ongoing outage at this moment that is not being reported again? Our pipelines have been working flawlessly for months without intervention nor changes until the most recent outages

It's been over 24h and it's still in progress. Is there a timeout for a failed notarization? or do we just wait for days.. weeks.. moths?

Whilst waiting for the company developer account I successfully notarised an app/pkg On switching to the company account the app/pkg has been stuck in progress for over 2 days (see below) The initial submission was via Xcode and later via command line. The last one was when I updated bundle ids etc and built with Github Actions. The initial submission did coincide with a service outage, however that is marked as resolved. I would like to cancel all of them now that I have switched the signing account and the bundle ID but there seems no way to do this? Thoughts and comments welcome.

I am trying to package a Filemaker 18 Runtime app. A week ago, I managed to get 90% of the way towards doing as much, using MS Copilot as a guide. Unfortunately, due to my confusion over the landing stage files, I decided to start the process from scratch. This time, I fell at the first stage: Code Signing my .app Bundle. The Terminal command: codesign --deep --force --verify --verbose \ --sign "Developer ID Application: ME (V********)" \ "/Users/Me/Documents/Apps/MyApp/Runtime/MyApp/My App.app" Returned the error: /Users/Me/Documents/Apps/MyApp/Runtime/MyApp/My App.app: bundle format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable In subcomponent: /Users/Me/Documents/Apps/MyApp/Runtime/MyApp/My App.app/Contents/Frameworks/FMWrapper.framework No matter how many separate elements within the bundle I sign, I encounter the same error message. A few days ago, the identical command worked first time. I would be obliged for any help you can provide. Thanks.

I am currently having issues uploading my app to appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/ for notarization. It times out after hanging for a while. I get the following error. 13:42:04 "LocalDataTask <D84AED32-B05B-4439-8BDC-40C0F89B89F1>.<1>" 13:42:04 ), NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out., NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/asp?, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/asp?, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4})

Hi, I'm currently at 19 hours waiting for notarization. My dev account is new and this is the first time I'm submitting anything to be notarized. I've gathered from my research that this is normal (unfortunately). I figure the only thing I can do is wait, but is there any way for me to know if I'm waiting for a human to manually review it? I was going to file a support request, but I saw that they won't be responding to any support requests until after their Thanksgiving break, and I assume nobody is manually reviewing notary submissions for the next week+. I attached the submission below, thanks! createdDate: 2025-11-21T21:17:10.082Z id: c9746d42-1dc7-4641-aec1-62c6cedff1a2 name: ***********.zip status: In Progress

Today, I used xcrun notarytool submit to upload my packaged Electron app for macOS—once as a .zip file and once as a .dmg—for Apple notarization. However, both submissions have been stuck at "Current status: In Progress" for several hours now. I’ve also checked the status using xcrun notarytool info, and it keeps returning status: In Progress. Could someone please help me understand what might be going wrong? This is quite urgent—if a technical support engineer or anyone from the team could take a look, I’d be glad to provide the UUIDs of my notarization requests.

Hi there, I've developed a macOS app in Swift and SwiftUI. I'm planning to distribute the app outside of the App Store, so I'm currently getting it notarized. This is my first time notarizing an application. My application is signed correctly during the build / archive process, but whether I try to notarize the .app via Xcode's organizer or a .dmg via notarytool, it seems to get stuck. The status of Notarization attempts have been been stuck "In Progress", with the earliest attempt approaching 4 days.

Hi, Since about 2 weeks notarytool is not very reliable on our CI/CD server. The tool either exists without printing any reason (killed by a signal; not caused by timeout - we have 6h timeouts and the tool gets killed after about 30 mins) or the process takes a very long time e.g. 2h to complete. We use the same pipeline since at least 2 years and we did not have this problem before. Some problematic calls: createdDate: 2025-01-15T14:50:22.545Z id: ca0faad3-789a-4842-a8c9-14aa7c2297a9 name: xxxxxx status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-01-15T14:33:06.813Z id: 22df0da8-70de-4dd9-935d-a26055242014 name: xxxxxx status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-01-15T14:18:36.436Z id: 5729b836-69f0-4526-b1d2-7743bd4d57a6 name: xxxxxx status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2025-01-15T14:18:31.716Z id: 58f3c7a1-96bd-4f5d-8a3c-6860f925659e name: xxxxxx status: In Progress Can anyone check why the tool is taking now way more time than before to process a submission? The app that we are notarizing did not change that much.

Hi everyone, Native Instruments is encountering a critical issue with the notarization process. The xcrun notary submit command appears to be stuck and is not completing, preventing us from notarizing our apps. Specifically, the command hangs indefinitely. This issue started today. We've already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Cancelling and re-running the command Checking my internet connection Checking the Apple System Status page Cleaning the build folder using a different machine This is a major blocker for our company, as it's preventing from from us from testing and releasing some of our products. It seems to be a similar issue as reported in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/772542?page=2. Has anyone else experienced xcrun notary submit getting stuck like this? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm particularly interested in knowing if there are any known issues with the notarization service currently. Details about my setup: Xcode Version: 16.1 macOS Version: 14.7.1 App Type: macOS app Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone! I've send my .dmg file for notarization, it has been accepted on March 5. Since then there weren't any updates, it hasn't changed its status. What might be the problem? Info about submission: createdDate: 2025-03-05T12:13:18.802Z id: 202d877d-d0c4-4211-bba4-6ebdb169a843 status: Accepted

For years, I've been shipping my apps with a Perl script that now invokes notarytool to get the notarization, using this command /usr/bin/xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id jerry@sheepsystems.com --keychain-profile SSYShipProduct --team-id 4MAMECY9VS --output-format json /Users/jk/blah/blah/MyApp.zip --wait I used this script with this command several times during September 2024 to ship my apps, and it worked. But now, the above command fails with: Error: No Keychain password item found for profile: SSYShipProduct Run 'notarytool store-credentials' to create another credential profile. Of course, I am now running later versions of macOS beta and Xcode than I was in September. Does anyone know the problem? Screenshots from Terminal and Keychain Access are attached. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’ve just subscribed and configured my Apple Developer account. I tried to notarize the first binary I need to distribute via Homebrew, but I’m experiencing an issue where the process has been stuck in “In Progress” status for more than 21 hours, without completing or returning any errors.

Can someone please explain why Mac app packaging is so farcically convoluted? Windows app packaging can be picked up in an hour or so. But I've spent longer trying to fathom how to package the Mac version than I did building the app. And it's not done with me yet. Every single line of code requires a deep dive into a new, unrelated skillset. So, it’s sidebar after sidebar. Kafka’s ‘The Trial’ comes to mind. Why does it have to be like this?

Notarization step fails: New AppID and password created: xcrun notarytool submit “.dmg” --apple-id “” --team-id “” --password “” --verbose --wait Error: HTTP status code: 401. Your Apple ID has been locked. Visit iForgot to reset your account (https://iforgot.apple.com), then generate a new app-specific password. Ensure that all authentication arguments are correct. I have reset app password many times, not result. Codesigning completes normally: Mac OS 11.5.2 Xcode 13.2.1

After sending the app archive to apple notarization services, I received the following error: "The signature of the binary is invalid". This error is shown for both the arm64 and x86_64 builds of the app. Some details about the project: I have been able to notarize the app in the past, with the latest successful notarization at the start of October. The organization does have a valid developer membership. The app has no new dependencies since the last successful notarization. The project uses automatic managed signing (no visible errors in xcode). What has changed in app and development environment since the last notarization: Updated macOS to macOS 15. Updated to use new Xcode version (16) The organizations membership did expire for a bit, but is now valid. Changed apps target macOS version from 12.3 -> 13.5. What I've tried to debug / resolve this issue: Clean build folder and re-create archive. Waiting a period of time and retrying the notarization. Toggling 'automatic managed signing' off and on. Tried to look through profiles, provisions, certs to see any issues. Debug the issue with 'codesign -vvv --deep --strict /path/to/binary/or/bundle' CLI command (output said binary was valid). (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/resolving-common-notarization-issues) Going back to last successful notarized commit and re-notarizing from that point, but that failed as well (changed version number). Reverted a change of increasing the target macOS version (12.3 -> 13.5). Compare failed notarization app's info.plist to previous info.plist for any obvious errors. I tried to install the previous Xcode version, but it seems to be incompatible with macOS 15. Tried looking online for any other options, but only found a couple similar issues and the suggestions I already tried. I can provide further information if needed.

Hello, I've developed an application using Electron with JAVACRIPT. I have managed to deploy to both Windows and the web but having trouble deploying the application to my Mac users. It's my first time deploying an application for Mac but feel like I'm stuck at the last hurdle and out of ideas so I'm reaching out for help. My application is successfully signing but during the build and when my Notarize.js is running it seems to get stuck indefinitely. I can check and see the status of the Notarize attempts but they seem to be stuck "In Progress". Here are the logs.
