Made a notarization request a few hours ago and woke up to check the history and it's no longer available. Not rejected/accepted just not found. I have gone ahead to make another request but I have no confidence because I expect the same thing to happen again. Any guidance?

Hi! I am encountering an issue with the notarization process. I'll leave here the outputs of a few command that I think might be useful. user@AndreisMac % pkgutil --check-signature mypkg.pkg Package "mypkg.pkg": Status: signed by a developer certificate issued by Apple for distribution Notarization: trusted by the Apple notary service Signed with a trusted timestamp on: 2026-02-18 18:46:16 +0000 Certificate Chain: ... user@AndreisMac % spctl -a -vv --type install mypkg.pkg mypkg.pkg: rejected origin=Developer ID Installer: MyComp LLC (ABCD) user@AndreisMac % xcrun notarytool submit mypkg.pkg --keychain-profile "notary-profile" --wait Conducting pre-submission checks for mypkg.pkg and initiating connection to the Apple notary service... Submission ID received id: e76f34b3-7c91-451c-a539-8fb39809a5bd Upload progress: 100,00% (13,3 MB of 13,3 MB) Successfully uploaded file id: e76f34b3-7c91-451c-a539-8fb39809a5bd path: /path/to/mypkg.pkg Waiting for processing to complete.

Interestingly enough, trying this installer on a different MacOS machine works as expected(no quarantine) and spctl shows it as notarized(Accepted). Any idea what's wrong with my machine?

Hi guys, I am new to the Apple Developer Program (enrolled a few days ago) and this is my first app notarization attempt. I've been experiencing significant delays - all submissions have been stuck at "In Progress" for over 24 hours. Details: macOS app signed with Developer ID Application certificate Using xcrun notarytool with app-specific password Hardened runtime enabled codesign --verify --deep --strict passes Team ID: QVHM976XC5 Submission IDs (all stuck "In Progress"): 5f494a89-0db0-4cc6-944f-ca2fe399e870 (latest - 8+ hours) 938f6b8d-0d00-45f5-861d-68fe470df6c2 d0edcbfe-8464-455f-b077-bebaa5b9aab7 I understand new developers may experience longer initial processing, but 24+ hours seems excessive. Is there anything I should check or any additional steps required for new accounts? Any guidance appreciated.

I've submitted a few first notarizations for my electron app - I've verified with all the QA and resources that I am doing the correct thing - but its silently just holding all my notarization requests on apples side with no logs. I'm trying to launch my app this week - how should I proceed?

This is my submission, my earliest submission has be stuck for a couple of days can someone please help. This is blocking our launch. -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-01T15:57:46.893Z id: 4cd9bb60-67eb-4f59-be9b-952248da33cf name: Snip-1.0.0-arm64.dmg status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-01T15:07:04.101Z id: fc88fa42-6ffe-4fee-86b2-0cec44c4391b name: Snip.zip status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-02-28T06:48:58.307Z id: e6cabf68-2963-4971-a057-fb4c5a1bdb4c name: Snip.zip status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-02-27T17:02:33.195Z id: 4e038aab-e429-4dfa-abcd-afcd49241a31 name: Snip.zip status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-02-27T17:02:21.907Z id: 4a908c50-812b-48c1-949d-8d6d4c9dec40 name: Snip.zip status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-02-27T14:28:38.585Z id: bccbc5bc-1cc7-4417-ab57-545b0cc6cc7b name: Snip.zip status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-02-27T08:35:47.185Z id: 4219d594-ee41-4905-8ea5-af89dc924b4f name: Snip.zip status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-02-27T08:07:51.982Z id: 08fce978-8dc1-45bb-aac1-ea932bd08b02 name: Snip.zip status: In Progress

Hello, I’m currently in the process of app notarization, but my status is stuck in the "In Process" state, and I’m unsure how long this should take. I’d appreciate any advice or insights. Issue Description After submitting my app for notarization, the status has been stuck in "In Process" for an extended period. There seems to be no progress, and it’s taking longer than I expected for the process to complete. The status hasn’t changed, and it’s been 5 days since I submitted the app. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? How long does the notarization process usually take? Any advice on how to resolve this or if there’s something I might be missing? Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm submitting a native macOS app (Swift/SwiftUI, arm64) that includes Sparkle.framework for auto-updates. All binaries are signed with a Developer ID Application certificate using --options runtime and --timestamp. I've submitted 12+ times over the past two days, both from local notarytool submit and from GitHub Actions CI. Every submission uploads successfully and returns a valid submission ID, but then stays at "In Progress" indefinitely — none have resolved to Accepted or Invalid. Two early submissions did eventually come back "Invalid" — Apple's rejection log showed the Sparkle nested binaries had ad-hoc signatures (they were being signed as individual Mach-O files instead of bundle directories). I fixed this with proper inside-out bundle signing. Since the fix, local codesign --verify --deep --strict passes cleanly, but all ~10 subsequent submissions remain stuck at "In Progress". 9UT54V24XG Would appreciate any guidance, or if someone from the notary team could check our queue. Happy to provide specific submission IDs.

I'm submitting my first macOS app (an Electron app, signed with Developer ID Application certificate and hardened runtime) for notarization using xcrun notarytool submit with App Store Connect API key authentication. All 6 of my submissions have been stuck at "In Progress" for over 24 hours now. The oldest submission is 27+ hours old. None have transitioned to Accepted or Invalid. Here's what I've verified: Code signing is valid: codesign --verify --deep --strict passes Hardened runtime is enabled Uploads succeed: Each submission receives a valid submission ID and the file uploads successfully to Apple's servers API key auth is working: Using App Store Connect API key (.p8 file), Key ID, and Issuer ID Tried both locally and via GitHub Actions CI — same result Polling Apple's status endpoint eventually times out with NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out" when checking https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/submissions/<id> Logs are not available (notarytool log returns "not yet available" for all submissions) Apple Developer System Status shows "Developer ID Notary Service" as Available Submission history: createdDate: 2026-02-04T20:27:16Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T16:45:18Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T13:40:23Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T12:29:52Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T11:26:36Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T11:21:39Z — status: In Progress Entitlements used: com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation com.apple.security.network.client com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write This is my first time notarizing any app on this developer account. I've seen other threads mentioning that first-time submissions can be "held for in-depth analysis," but 24+ hours with no feedback at all seems excessive. Is anyone else currently experiencing this? Is there anything I can do to unblock my account's notarization queue, or do I just need to wait? Any guidance from DTS would be greatly appreciated. I've also emailed Apple Developer Support but haven't received a response yet.

Hi, I have two notarization submissions that have been stuck in "In Progress" status for several hours with no resolution. Submission IDs: 2158329b-8beb-400b-aa80-f8c2a5f30106 (submitted ~9 hours ago) 73174908-3ed9-4a85-afe0-a3c3b0722a61 (submitted ~3 hours ago) Both submissions show "In Progress" indefinitely and no log is available for either. The notarytool --wait --timeout 30m timed out on the second submission with exit code 124. The app is signed with a valid Developer ID Application certificate, all binaries including frameworks and dylibs are individually signed with --options runtime and --timestamp. A previous submission returned valid on disk / satisfies its Designated Requirement via spctl --assess. Could you please investigate whether these submissions are stuck on your end, and advise on next steps? Thank you.

All my notarization submissions are rejected with statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization"), even though my Apple Developer Program membership has been active since February 26, 2026. Error log: status: Rejected statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: "Team is not yet configured for notarization" My setup: Team ID: 9NL8W3646T Membership: Individual, ACTIVE (confirmed by Apple Support on Feb 26) Certificate: Developer ID Application — valid, signing works Hardened runtime: enabled Latest failed submission: ce6a4ca9-ccc2-4838-b96a-d9ed16557237 (March 6) I have support case 102832266798 open since March 4. Apple responded on March 6, but the email never arrived in my inbox and the portal doesn't let me view the response. Could DTS help enable notarization for my team? This is blocking distribution of my macOS app. Thank you.

I am trying to notarize my first macOS app for direct distribution outside the Mac App Store using Developer ID Application signing. Team ID: 32S6XVAQPY Environment: macOS app distributed via Developer ID notarytool with a saved keychain profile archive exported locally, app zipped with ditto What I already verified locally: The archived app is signed with: Developer ID Application: (32S6XVAQPY) codesign --verify --deep --strict passes spctl shows: source=Unnotarized Developer ID syspolicy_check distribution only reports the expected missing notary ticket Hardened runtime is enabled The app bundle and nested Sparkle executables were re-signed and now have valid Developer ID signatures with secure timestamps Important note: I previously had a real signing issue in nested Sparkle binaries, and Apple rejected that submission quickly as Invalid. I fixed those signatures, and now new submissions no longer fail quickly but remain stuck In Progress. Submission IDs currently stuck: bea6c4b3-b107-4c81-8042-6c58b1cf5087 5489e29c-d583-4779-a125-ca0fbd9cad0b Earlier invalid submission with a concrete Sparkle signing error: 10df648b-eca8-428f-98d6-4cb4096153ad Apple reported invalid Developer ID / missing secure timestamp on: Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/Updater.app/Contents/MacOS/Updater Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/Autoupdate Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/XPCServices/Downloader.xpc/Contents/MacOS/Downloader Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/XPCServices/Installer.xpc/Contents/MacOS/Installer That Sparkle issue has since been fixed locally and re-verified. Question: Is there currently a notarization backlog or any known issue affecting first-time macOS notarizations or Developer ID submissions? At this point the remaining submissions appear valid locally but sit In Progress for a very long time.

Hi, I'm trying to notarize a macOS app using xcrun notarytool, but the submission has been stuck in "In Progress" for over 24 hours. Submission ID: a3e0914a-c45f-4614-bd7c-cbae4c7b0b55 Created: 2026-03-08T01:55:29.272Z Team ID: 69YV6P6AKZ It looks like the signature is valid and the only missing step is notarization. I tried submitting twice, but the second submission is also stuck in In Progress. Is this likely a backlog in the notarization service, or is there something that could cause submissions to stay "in progress" for so long? Thanks!

That's been fixed in all subsequent submissions. The app is a small macOS menu bar utility (~2 MB DMG), signed with Developer ID Application certificate, hardened runtime enabled, no restricted entitlements. codesign --verify --deep --strict and spctl --assess --type execute both pass locally. Is there a known processing delay for first-time Developer ID accounts, or could something be stuck on the backend? Thanks for any guidance.

Hi, I currently have multiple notarization submissions that have been stuck in "In Progress" status for many hours without any updates. Here are several examples from my recent submissions: Submission IDs: 01f7a80e-a9cc-49b3-bb93-94b126cf3124 (AutoTyper.dmg) 7af2b25f-e131-40a4-bcd3-0f7583ebbdc2 (AutoTyper.dmg) 2b35ec79-d851-41d6-a900-788d4201a273 (autoclaw-0.2.15.dmg) 8194b1af-a270-4de9-92f1-ce2a8d4782f2 (z-code_0.21.2_aarch64.unnotarized.dmg) 2608dcfc-7652-4efa-97e3-1749e7130dcb (AutoGLM PC.zip) These submissions were created between March 11 and March 12, and all of them remain stuck in the "In Progress" state indefinitely. When checking using: xcrun notarytool history all recent submissions appear as: status: In Progress Additionally: No logs are available for these submissions. notarytool --wait eventually times out after 30 minutes with exit code 124. The app bundles are signed with a valid Developer ID Application certificate. All embedded frameworks and dylibs are individually signed using: --options runtime --timestamp Earlier submissions on the same day (for example df41010c-a3c6-4e2d-a455-b657693e8541) were successfully notarized and returned Accepted, so the signing configuration appears to be correct. Because many submissions across different files (DMG and ZIP) are stuck in the same state, it seems possible that the notarization service queue may be stalled. Could you please help confirm: Whether these notarization submissions are stuck on the Apple notarization service side If there is currently a service issue affecting notarization processing Whether I should cancel and resubmit these uploads Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We are experiencing notarization submissions that remain in the “In Progress” state for an extended period (over 24 hours), with no status transition and no submission log available. This is occurring in an automated CI environment using the Notary REST API (non-interactive submission and polling). Re-submitting the same package only results in additional submissions also stuck in “In Progress”. There does not appear to be any API mechanism to cancel, clear, or expire these submissions once they are created. We have already opened an Apple Developer Support case regarding this issue (Case ID: 102818066745 & 102819008943), but have not yet received clarification on what is causing these long-running “In Progress” states. This issue is impacting our production release pipeline, as we are unable to reliably complete notarization for signed packages within an expected timeframe. Based on other reports in this forum (including thread 811968), this behavior appears similar to cases where notarization requests were delayed due to backend backlog or in-depth analysis. We would appreciate clarification on the following: Is it expected behavior for notarization submissions to remain in “In Progress” for such a long period without logs? Is client-side timeout and re-submission the recommended handling for CI workflows? Are there known service-side conditions (e.g. analysis backlog) that could explain this behavior? Any guidance from Apple DTS or others who have encountered this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, We are experiencing repeated notarization delays for our macOS app distributed outside the Mac App Store. Current submission ID: 45d7cac0-bd8a-4d48-b886-1cad7649adf4 Previous affected submission ID: ff61de1e-15f5-4bbe-8b34-a91a6f73b978 Issue description: xcrun notarytool submit succeeds and returns a submission ID. xcrun notarytool info keeps returning In Progress for a very long time. In the current case, the submission has remained In Progress for more than 45 minutes. This issue has happened repeatedly across multiple submissions. What we have already checked: We are not using a local proxy for notarization requests. We separated submit and polling in our build script to verify the exact stage. We retried multiple times. We reduced package contents to rule out newly introduced app content. Could someone from Apple please help check whether these submission IDs are stuck in the notarization pipeline, or advise what additional diagnostics we should provide? Thank you.

All of my notarization submissions have been stuck at "In Progress" for over a week.
