Hi all,
I’m seeing the same behavior and it’s currently blocking me from shipping my product.
Starting Jan 6–7, every notarization submission stays “In Progress” indefinitely (I’ve waited 8+ hours with no transition to Accepted/Invalid). This includes a minimal control submission: I created a tiny AppleScript .app, signed with Developer ID + hardened runtime, zipped with ditto, and submitted via xcrun notarytool submit. That submission also remains In Progress.
I’ve verified signatures with codesign --verify --deep --strict, confirmed my Developer ID cert is valid, and checked for account/agreement issues. The only time I’ve seen a terminal state recently is when a submission fails validation quickly (Invalid), but anything that enters processing appears to stall. I currently have multiple submission IDs stuck in notarytool history.
Has anyone found a workaround or received guidance from Apple Support? Happy to share submission IDs/timestamps if that helps with escalation. Thanks.
