Thanks for the update and insight! The developer account is at most 1-1.5 months old. My first notarization attempt was from 2025-02-21T13:50:31.573Z, which is why I referred to it as "newly created." I've actually tried notarizing 11 times since then. Even with the explanation that some uploads are held for in-depth analysis, it seems unusual that almost all of my submissions would fall into this category. Has anyone else experienced consistently longer review times? I'm wondering if there's anything specific I can do to help the system "learn" our app more quickly, or if this is just a patience game at this point.

Ah seems like it was my bad all along. I had a different Developer ID Application installed and i was not stating the signing identity explicitly. Once i did it everything is fixed. Thanks for your time, cheers
