Hello,
I've been trying to notarize my macOS app using xcrun notarytool, but all submissions get stuck in "In Progress" status indefinitely (30+ minutes, never resolve).
Environment:
Tool: xcrun notarytool (Xcode 16)
Bundle ID: io.pix-cull.app
Team ID: C473MUK7G2
App type: PyInstaller-built .app, wrapped in a signed .dmg
Stuck submission IDs:
00e953da (first attempt)
f7ab027e
3e35fc3f
293541bc-ba61-4ccb-a273-a8f34cda2422 (most recent)
Steps I've already taken:
Disabled UPX compression in PyInstaller spec
Signed all binaries inside-out (deepest first, .app last)
Used --timestamp flag during codesign
Verified Apple system status — all services show green
Waited 24+ hours on the oldest submission — still "In Progress"
What I observe:
Running xcrun notarytool info <id> returns status: In Progress every time, no matter how long I wait. The submission never transitions to "Accepted" or "Invalid". Other developers report notarization completing in 2–15 minutes.
I also submitted a ticket to Apple Developer Support (DTS), but I'm posting here as well in case anyone has seen this pattern.
Is there something wrong with my account that could cause all submissions to stall? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you.
