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.

This is worrying, as someone who has just created an apple dev account, my menubar is also in notarization for almost 24 hours. Would be happy to see what might be happening for you.

Maybe getting in contact with support might help also.
