We are authenticating using an app-specific password. This had been working fine for years until around August 5. That's when all of the time out and authentication issues started. I was able to install Xcode 11.3 which is still compatible with Mojave. That got me access to altool v4.00.1181. Running xcrun altool --list-providers using the app-specific password on altool v4.00.1181 works and returns the ProviderName, ProviderShortname, PublicID, and WWDRTeamID. The --list-providers option is not supported on altool v1.1.1138. When trying to notarize using altool v4.00.1181 using the app-specific password, I get the following error: `stderr is: 2022-08-18 09:08:56.753 altool[89199:2073775] *** Error: Connection failed! Error Message - The request timed out. 2022-08-18 09:08:56.893 altool[89199:2073773] *** Error: Unable to get authorization for username 'xxxx' and password provided. Unable to upload your app for notarization.` I guess my next move is to switch to an API key for authentication and see if that fixes it.

Unfortunately its still not working for me. I'm still seeing timeout errors. stderr is: 2022-08-17 08:25:53.760 altool[22605:336679] *** Error: Connection failed!

With the time outs from the timestamp server causing Codesign to crash and now the notarization broken(more time out issues!), It's been impossible to get a stable nightly build for some time. Apple please fix your time out issues!
