Dear Apple support, Since the last couple of days, we have some (very) long running notarization requests. Similar requests were done normally under 1 minute. This behavior is unexpected to us, and we did not see it before. The issue occurs for a small CLI tool submitted as a ZIP archive. Checking the documentation, I come across the section about "Avoid long notarization response times and size limits" (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/customizing-the-notarization-workflow#Avoid-long-notarization-response-times-and-size-limits). One fact is mentioned “Limit notarizations to 75 per day.” What is behavior if that limitation is reached? Is that limitation per Apple ID or per team ID? Are there some known issues about Notarization Service? Best regards, Stefan

Dear Apple Support, for better understanding to use the Notary Service, I would like to ask when and what have to be notarized. I am absolutely aware of using the Notary Service and which packages can be submitted and how to get the status. Scenario: We have one library which is developed by a specific team and other teams develop and deliver to customer MacOS apps which packages this library for the shipment. So, the library will be produced internally and will be shipped in different products. The library will be code signed before we make available internally. When should we notarize (and staple) this library? Directly after the code is signed or when it will be packaged in each product when it will be delivered to customer? Best regards, Stefan

notarytool-2024-07-23-143951.ips I notarytool-2024-07-23-105410.ips have two Mac machines and running the same Python script as a CGI script in an Apache webserver (httpd) installed via Homebrew. The Python script calls the subprocess.run() method to call the notarytool via xcrun. On one server the script runs as expected in the webserver environment and on the other machines it gets an exit code (-)4; SIGILL. On the machines where it fails, the notarytool command works from console, as expected. Additionally, it works if I run the script directly with Python in the console. I launch the same command in a Perl script in the webserver and the same exit code / issue occured. I have the same installed version and setup on both servers for Homebrew Apache Webserver (httpd) Python version (3.9.6) xcrun --version: xcrun version 61. xcrun notarytool --version: 1.0.0 (27) the Mac machines are identical, both are bought and set up at the same time The see similar topics at: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/724995 Notarytool was used on a machine as an agent via Jenkins job https://github.com/moses-palmer/pynput/issues/366#issuecomment-1364470827 used Python, gets the same exit code, used in multi-thread environment (maybe like a webserver)
