All notarization submissions stuck "In Progress"
From what I can tell, it seems that this is something standard that we have to deal with; however, what is annoying and frustrating is I paid good money to have this service work. My application is for important internal use at our company, and this is causing major issues and starting to make me look pretty bad, frankly. On top of that, there is no feedback at all, no reason given. Notarizing darwin binaries... Conducting pre-submission checks for aria.zip and initiating connection to the Apple notary service... Submission ID received id: ec041209-5652-4772-8689-e9e654432da8 Successfully uploaded file id: ec041209-5652-4772-8689-e9e654432da8 path: /Users/shaneholloman/git/sources/uicnz/aria/dist/darwin-arm64/aria.zip Waiting for processing to complete.

Notarization Requests In Progress
Hello, I am following up on several notarization requests in order to understand the process better. I submitted my first notary request yesterday and it took several hours to complete (where I submitted two other requests along the way thinking they may be stuck). They were all accepted after ~3 hours had passed since the first request was made. In that time I discovered a bug and had to rebuild/codesign, and submitted to notarize again. I've now had two requests with the new build (.zip file) "in progress" for ~18 hours. The bug fix I made between builds was innocuous and I'm wondering if my jobs are getting flagged due to recent account lockouts when I was first setting up my organizations' developer account. I've seen several replies here in the forum from DTS Engineers - hi Quinn :), so I'm aware of the possibility of 'rare' in-depth analysis, however I've experienced it in 100% of my requests. What is causing my requests to always require in-depth analysis and is there anything I can do to prevent it? My notarytool history is below for reference. Thank you in advance. createdDate: 2026-03-15T22:59:23.053Z id: 9c7ecc81-daf4-4cae-afe9-7f8186067f79 status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-15T21:10:04.576Z id: a1df8b50-c897-49f5-ad0d-f2264a03f145 status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-15T20:41:24.946Z id: 640e7cd6-035f-437b-9eab-9a3db415911a status: Accepted -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-15T18:40:26.944Z id: 00b9e907-04eb-4561-8353-dae7520202e0 status: Accepted -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-03-15T17:16:48.426Z id: 3163ba2b-e3c8-4216-ae8a-bac351b82f8a status: Accepted

Notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 10 days
All of my notarization submissions have been stuck at "In Progress" for up to 10 days. I have 6 submissions spanning from March 4 to March 11, 2026, and none of them have completed or returned any errors. Affected submissions: dbf20b57-0073-444a-b09a-ac6747b7398e (submitted Mar 4) — In Progress d5886683-be64-455c-805d-cd8b12bbcd35 (submitted Mar 4) — In Progress 10bfa709-da17-49cf-9c89-63f93b5fb756 (submitted Mar 4) — In Progress e8d0866e-43f8-4a18-8129-64e6c5d3895a (submitted Mar 9) — In Progress f9526f25-5650-4c45-98ae-d778c58a2ffa (submitted Mar 9) — In Progress 82ec211f-9179-41fd-afe0-937c9b2c2750 (submitted Mar 11) — In Progress Running `notarytool log` returns "Submission log is not yet available." Team ID: CB4U5M6U9H It is an Electron-based app built with electron-builder. Steps taken to ensure compliance: Signed with a valid Developer ID Application certificate Hardened runtime enabled (hardenedRuntime: true) Proper entitlements configured (com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit, com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory, com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation) Entitlements inherited for child processes via entitlements.mac.inherit.plist Electron Fuses configured to disable Node.js CLI flags in production (resetAdHocDarwinSignature enabled) App submitted as a zip archive via notarytool submit I've tried resubmitting multiple times across different builds, but all submissions remain stuck. I also have an open support case (102836201208) that was escalated to Senior Advisors on March 11, but have not received any update. Could someone from the notarization team please investigate?

Team not configured for notarization — no response from Developer Programs Support for 9+ days
I'm unable to notarize my macOS app — notarytool returns statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization"). My Developer ID certificate is valid (expires 2031), code signing works fine. Timeline: March 4 — opened case 102832266798 via Developer Programs Support March 6 — Apple replied, but the email never arrived (not in spam either) March 9 — sent follow-up requesting the response be resent — no reply March 13 — opened new case 102840272497 via Program Enrollment form — waiting It's been 9 days with no resolution. DTS confirmed this is not a technical issue and referred me to Developer Programs Support. Team ID: 9NL8W3646T Bundle ID: com.traart.app How can I escalate this? Has anyone experienced a similar situation with a new account?

Title Notarization submissions stuck “In Progress” for 5+ days (SwiftUI macOS menu bar app)
Notarization submissions stuck “In Progress” for 5+ days (SwiftUI macOS menu bar app) Hello, I’m experiencing an issue where all notarization submissions remain “In Progress” for several days. Environment macOS native app written in Swift / SwiftUI Menu bar application Built with Xcode Developer ID Application signing Hardened Runtime enabled App Sandbox disabled Uses SMAppService for “Start at Login” Artifact structure ClaudeUsageTracker.zip └ ClaudeUsageTracker.app (no nested directory) Verification codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 ClaudeUsageTracker.app This succeeds without errors. Notarization submissions 2026-03-06 — In Progress ID=215814fc-57c5-4f99-88fe-ed2db4d3e3d9 2026-03-06 — In Progress ID=70948178-191c-4840-a9c7-52c321b725e5 2026-03-09 — In Progress ID=14a88b79-df4d-4d83-9bfe-fa6eafc9bf76 All submissions remain In Progress for 5+ days, and notarytool log is not available yet. Command used xcrun notarytool submit ClaudeUsageTracker.zip \ --keychain-profile "notarytool-profile" The app is a small utility and the archive is only a few MB. Is there a known issue with the notarization queue or with accounts getting stuck in a processing state? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Notarization submissions stuck in "In Progress" for many hours with no logs
Hi, I currently have multiple notarization submissions that have been stuck in "In Progress" status for many hours without any updates. Here are several examples from my recent submissions: Submission IDs: 01f7a80e-a9cc-49b3-bb93-94b126cf3124 (a.dmg) 7af2b25f-e131-40a4-bcd3-0f7583ebbdc2 (a.dmg) 2b35ec79-d851-41d6-a900-788d4201a273 (b.dmg) 8194b1af-a270-4de9-92f1-ce2a8d4782f2 (c.dmg) 2608dcfc-7652-4efa-97e3-1749e7130dcb (d.zip) These submissions were created between March 11 and March 12, and all of them remain stuck in the "In Progress" state indefinitely. When checking using: xcrun notarytool history all recent submissions appear as: status: In Progress Additionally: No logs are available for these submissions. notarytool --wait eventually times out after 30 minutes with exit code 124. The app bundles are signed with a valid Developer ID Application certificate. All embedded frameworks and dylibs are individually signed using: --options runtime --timestamp Earlier submissions on the same day (for example df41010c-a3c6-4e2d-a455-b657693e8541) were successfully notarized and returned Accepted, so the signing configuration appears to be correct. Because many submissions across different files (DMG and ZIP) are stuck in the same state, it seems possible that the notarization service queue may be stalled. Could you please help confirm: Whether these notarization submissions are stuck on the Apple notarization service side If there is currently a service issue affecting notarization processing Whether I should cancel and resubmit these uploads Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

spctl --type install rejects notarized .pkg on macOS 26 Tahoe (26.3)
I'm distributing a macOS .pkg installer signed with Developer ID Installer and notarized via notarytool. On macOS 26.3 (Tahoe, Build 25D125), the package is rejected by Gatekeeper when downloaded from the internet. What works: pkgutil --check-signature → signed, Developer ID Installer, full chain (G2 intermediate + Apple Root CA) xcrun stapler validate → "The validate action worked!" xcrun notarytool info <id> → status: Accepted The .app inside the .pkg passes spctl -a -vvv → "accepted, source=Notarized Developer ID" What fails: spctl -a -vvv --type install mypackage.pkg → rejected, origin=Developer ID Installer Raw assessment: assessment:remote = true, assessment:verdict = false Double-clicking the downloaded .pkg shows only "Move to Trash" / "Done" (no "Open" option) syspolicyd log: meetsDeveloperIDLegacyAllowedPolicy = 0 (expected, since the cert is new), but no "notarized" match is logged Certificate details: Developer ID Installer, issued Feb 28, 2026, valid until 2031 OID 1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.14 (Developer ID Installer) — critical OID 1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.33 — timestamp 20260215000000Z Intermediate: Developer ID Certification Authority G2 (OID 1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6) security verify-cert → certificate verification successful Build process: productbuild --distribution ... --sign <SHA1> (also tried productsign) Both produce: Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root xcrun notarytool submit → Accepted xcrun stapler staple → worked Workaround: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/mypackage.pkg allows opening the installer. Question: Is spctl --type install assessment expected to work differently on macOS 26 Tahoe? The same signing and notarization workflow produces .app bundles that pass Gatekeeper, but .pkg installers are rejected. Is there a new requirement for .pkg distribution on macOS 26? Environment: macOS 26.3 (25D125), Xcode CLT 26.3

First macOS Developer ID notarization stuck In Progress for multiple valid submissions
I am trying to notarize my first macOS app for direct distribution outside the Mac App Store using Developer ID Application signing. Team ID: 32S6XVAQPY Environment: macOS app distributed via Developer ID notarytool with a saved keychain profile archive exported locally, app zipped with ditto What I already verified locally: The archived app is signed with: Developer ID Application: (32S6XVAQPY) codesign --verify --deep --strict passes spctl shows: source=Unnotarized Developer ID syspolicy_check distribution only reports the expected missing notary ticket Hardened runtime is enabled The app bundle and nested Sparkle executables were re-signed and now have valid Developer ID signatures with secure timestamps Important note: I previously had a real signing issue in nested Sparkle binaries, and Apple rejected that submission quickly as Invalid. I fixed those signatures, and now new submissions no longer fail quickly but remain stuck In Progress. Submission IDs currently stuck: bea6c4b3-b107-4c81-8042-6c58b1cf5087 5489e29c-d583-4779-a125-ca0fbd9cad0b Earlier invalid submission with a concrete Sparkle signing error: 10df648b-eca8-428f-98d6-4cb4096153ad Apple reported invalid Developer ID / missing secure timestamp on: Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/Updater.app/Contents/MacOS/Updater Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/Autoupdate Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/XPCServices/Downloader.xpc/Contents/MacOS/Downloader Sparkle.framework/Versions/B/XPCServices/Installer.xpc/Contents/MacOS/Installer That Sparkle issue has since been fixed locally and re-verified. Question: Is there currently a notarization backlog or any known issue affecting first-time macOS notarizations or Developer ID submissions? At this point the remaining submissions appear valid locally but sit In Progress for a very long time.

Notarization rejected statusCode 7000 — membership is ACTIVE
All my notarization submissions are rejected with statusCode 7000 ("Team is not yet configured for notarization"), even though my Apple Developer Program membership has been active since February 26, 2026.

Apple responded on March 6, but the email never arrived in my inbox and the portal doesn't let me view the response. Could DTS help enable notarization for my team? This is blocking distribution of my macOS app. Thank you.

All notarization submissions stuck "In Progress" for 24+ hours — first-time Electron app
I'm submitting my first macOS app (an Electron app, signed with Developer ID Application certificate and hardened runtime) for notarization using xcrun notarytool submit with App Store Connect API key authentication. All 6 of my submissions have been stuck at "In Progress" for over 24 hours now. The oldest submission is 27+ hours old. None have transitioned to Accepted or Invalid. Here's what I've verified: Code signing is valid: codesign --verify --deep --strict passes Hardened runtime is enabled Uploads succeed: Each submission receives a valid submission ID and the file uploads successfully to Apple's servers API key auth is working: Using App Store Connect API key (.p8 file), Key ID, and Issuer ID Tried both locally and via GitHub Actions CI — same result Polling Apple's status endpoint eventually times out with NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out" when checking https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/submissions/<id> Logs are not available (notarytool log returns "not yet available" for all submissions) Apple Developer System Status shows "Developer ID Notary Service" as Available Submission history: createdDate: 2026-02-04T20:27:16Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T16:45:18Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T13:40:23Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T12:29:52Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T11:26:36Z — status: In Progress createdDate: 2026-02-04T11:21:39Z — status: In Progress Entitlements used: com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation com.apple.security.network.client com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write This is my first time notarizing any app on this developer account. I've seen other threads mentioning that first-time submissions can be "held for in-depth analysis," but 24+ hours with no feedback at all seems excessive. Is anyone else currently experiencing this? Is there anything I can do to unblock my account's notarization queue, or do I just need to wait? Any guidance from DTS would be greatly appreciated. I've also emailed Apple Developer Support but haven't received a response yet.

Xcode Cloud Build times out in notarization step
We have been using Xcode Cloud Build to test an internal app. A new build is triggered automatically by a merge to main in github. Up until a few weeks ago everything was fine, we would get a notarize button and a download link. On 1/29/2026 the process started timing out at the finalizing step. The logs in the UI show no errors just a "cancelled" flag after 8-12 hours. Clicking the logs tab shows all green up until the step you would normally expect a "stapling". Any thoughts on were to look to triage this?

MacOS installer appears rejected after successful notarization
Hi! I am encountering an issue with the notarization process. I'll leave here the outputs of a few command that I think might be useful. user@AndreisMac % pkgutil --check-signature mypkg.pkg Package "mypkg.pkg": Status: signed by a developer certificate issued by Apple for distribution Notarization: trusted by the Apple notary service Signed with a trusted timestamp on: 2026-02-18 18:46:16 +0000 Certificate Chain: ... user@AndreisMac % spctl -a -vv --type install mypkg.pkg mypkg.pkg: rejected origin=Developer ID Installer: MyComp LLC (ABCD) user@AndreisMac % xcrun notarytool submit mypkg.pkg --keychain-profile "notary-profile" --wait Conducting pre-submission checks for mypkg.pkg and initiating connection to the Apple notary service... Submission ID received id: e76f34b3-7c91-451c-a539-8fb39809a5bd Upload progress: 100,00% (13,3 MB of 13,3 MB) Successfully uploaded file id: e76f34b3-7c91-451c-a539-8fb39809a5bd path: /path/to/mypkg.pkg Waiting for processing to complete. Current status: Accepted............... Processing complete id: e76f34b3-7c91-451c-a539-8fb39809a5bd status: Accepted user@AndreisMac % spctl -a -vv --type install mypkg.pkg mypkg.pkg: rejected origin=Developer ID Installer: MyComp LLC (ABCD) As you can see: the installer is signed with a Developer ID Installer (the contents are signed and notarized as well) the first spctl check is failing(even if the installer was already notarized on our build server) trying to notarize again seems to work checking again still shows the installer as rejected I can run the installer locally by removing the quarantine flag, but this is not what I am expecting from a signed&notarized installer. Interestingly enough, trying this installer on a different MacOS machine works as expected(no quarantine) and spctl shows it as notarized(Accepted). Any idea what's wrong with my machine?

Notarization Request not found after 12 hours
Made a notarization request a few hours ago and woke up to check the history and it's no longer available. Not rejected/accepted just not found. I have gone ahead to make another request but I have no confidence because I expect the same thing to happen again. Any guidance? See logs below: daramfon@MacBook-Pro-3 frontend % xcrun notarytool history --apple-id "$APPLE_ID" --password "$APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD" --team-id "$APPLE_TEAM_ID" Successfully received submission history. history -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-02-20T23:53:14.066Z id: 6f2fadc0-2e8f-4331-a253-68f81334ebc6 name: Speakeasy AI-0.1.0-arm64.zip status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-02-20T23:47:12.897Z id: 435aec4f-5356-49a5-898d-48aaafb7949f name: Speakeasy AI.zip status: In Progress -------------------------------------------------- createdDate: 2026-02-20T22:35:23.947Z id: 95896757-873a-4e54-a527-03dc767c9cb5 name: Speakeasy AI.zip status: In Progress daramfon@MacBook-Pro-3 frontend % xcrun notarytool history --apple-id "$APPLE_ID" --password "$APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD" --team-id "$APPLE_TEAM_ID" No submission history. daramfon@MacBook-Pro-3 frontend % xcrun notarytool info 6f2fadc0-2e8f-4331-a253-68f81334ebc6 --apple-id "$APPLE_ID" --password "$APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD" --team-id "$APPLE_TEAM_ID" Submission does not exist or does not belong to your team. id: 6f2fadc0-2e8f-4331-a253-68f81334ebc6

notarytool returns HTTP 500 — even on store-credentials
Hi everyone, For the past three days I've been unable to notarize my app — every attempt fails with an HTTP 500 error from Apple's notarization service. What's unusual is that the error occurs not only during submission, but also when simply validating credentials via store-credentials. Example: $ xcrun notarytool store-credentials "notarytool-password" \ --apple-id <id> --team-id <team> --password <app-specific-password> Validating your credentials... Error: HTTP status code: 500. Internal Server Error Request ID: K6NYCMIFNM66OI2WRG3ORZEDUE.0.0 Please try again at a later time. Since the failure happens at credential validation — before any package is even uploaded — I'm fairly confident this is a server-side issue, not something wrong with my setup or the binary. I've tried across different network connections, same result. Has anyone else been hitting this? Is there a known outage or incident on Apple's notarization infrastructure? Any way to escalate or get a status update beyond checking developer.apple.com/system-status/? Thanks
