Notarizing macOS software

Hi everyone!! I am submitting an App for Notarization for the first time, I have several attempts, some returned invalid and other show In Progress for more than 8 hours.

Is that normal?

I addressed the issues that make the other ones Invalid.

Thanks so much!

You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for in-depth analysis and may take longer to complete. As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognise them, and you should see fewer delays.

For lots of additional info about notarisation, see Notarisation Resources. Specifically, it links to a Q&A with the notary service team that’s quite instructive.

Also recently submitted an App for notarization for the first time. Apparently it needs to go through an in-depth analysis the first time. For me it took about 36 hours until it was accepted, but for some I heard it can take longer. The subsequent notarizations only took a few minutes though.

I guess you just need to wait.
