Title: Notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 4 days (new Team ID)
Every notarization submission from my team has been stuck "In Progress" since
11 September 2026. The first one went through; everything submitted after it
has never reached a verdict.
Team ID: T36RPB6Z2G
Tool: xcrun notarytool (Xcode command line tools), app-specific password
App: a Tauri desktop app, Developer ID distribution outside the Mac App Store
Submissions (UTC):
2026-09-11 11:17:19 76bd3fd2-657c-4c3c-9c6b-6e7bc789fb4e In Progress (~92 h)
2026-09-11 11:18:30 1becd424-2ede-4044-b432-7f3afc646270 Accepted (minutes)
2026-09-11 14:39:38 3058ba57-d546-4e82-a781-02a1494eef71 In Progress
2026-09-12 07:24:20 b9568de2-6504-4d83-adc6-40e44f08ba44 In Progress
2026-09-12 09:29:07 572cff54-0e90-4e0d-9908-4ad82759dc9a In Progress (control test)
What I have ruled out:
Credentials and signing are fine — 1becd424 was accepted within minutes with
the same certificate, the same password and the same tooling.
It is not my app: as a control I signed a 14 KB Mach-O (a copy of /bin/echo)
with the same Developer ID Application identity, hardened runtime and a secure
timestamp, submitted it on its own, and it has been "In Progress" for ~70
hours as well.
xcrun notarytool log <id> returns "Submission log is not yet available" for
all four, so processing appears to have never started.
codesign --verify --deep --strict passes on the app bundle; the certificate
chains to the Developer ID G2 intermediate and shows as valid in Keychain.
The Developer System Status page reports the Notary Service as operational.
This looks like the documented behaviour where an upload is held for in-depth
analysis and every later submission queues behind it — but four days with no
movement, including on a 14 KB binary, seems beyond the usual delay. I have
deliberately stopped submitting so as not to lengthen the queue.
Could someone from Apple check whether 76bd3fd2 is being held, and release it?
This is blocking the first signed release of the app.
