notarization stuck in progress > 24hrs

Hi guys,

I am new to the Apple Developer Program (enrolled a few days ago) and this is my first app notarization attempt. I've been experiencing significant delays - all submissions have been stuck at "In Progress" for over 24 hours.

Details:

  • macOS app signed with Developer ID Application certificate
  • Using xcrun notarytool with app-specific password
  • Hardened runtime enabled
  • codesign --verify --deep --strict passes
  • Team ID: QVHM976XC5

Submission IDs (all stuck "In Progress"):

  • 5f494a89-0db0-4cc6-944f-ca2fe399e870 (latest - 8+ hours)
  • 938f6b8d-0d00-45f5-861d-68fe470df6c2
  • d0edcbfe-8464-455f-b077-bebaa5b9aab7

I understand new developers may experience longer initial processing, but 24+ hours seems excessive. Is there anything I should check or any additional steps required for new accounts?

Any guidance appreciated.

Same for me. I'm at 48 hours and counting. i did it through xcode's organiser. I resubmitted another one yesterday and that one's at 24 hours.

I decided to not use xcode and went for the xcrun notarytool and submitted a .dmg version. still stuck.

Now I have 3 submissions all 'In Progress' ranging from 24 hours to 72 hours.

I already reached out for support but no response so far.

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.

Share and Enjoy
