xcrun -v notarytool -> rc = 69

The following process to sign my .pkg installer for distribution outside the app store have been working for over a year and recently the notarization fails with a rc = 69. I not aware of any changes other then xtools updates for the latest macos 15.6.1. Admittedly I felt lucky to have gotten it all to work initially and I could really use help. Thanks in advance! Bill

The signing (no errors): productsign --sign macos_cert myapp.pkg

The notarization (rc=69): xcrun -v notarytool submit myapp.pkg --apple-id my_apple_id --team-id XXXXXXXXXX

Error code 69 is EX_UNAVAILABLE, which isn’t something I’d expect from notarytool. Are you sure you’re not hitting an xcrun problem? What does this report:

% xcrun -f notarytool 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/notarytool

Thanks for you reply Quinn!

It turn our that there was and issue running xcrun and it was hidden by the python script that I run.

When running xcrun the command was requesting that I view and agree to the xcode license agreements. When done all is working now.

Was this triggered when I installed the xcode update? Again, thank you for you prompt reply. Bill
