I'm trying to notarize a macOS app under my individual team, WPJCQG3698. I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program in June 2026. Membership is active, all agreements are accepted, and the Developer ID Application certificate is valid.

All 12 notarytool submissions since June 20 have failed the same way:

statusCode: 7000
statusSummary: Team is not yet configured for notarization
issues: null

I'm authenticating with an App Store Connect team API key. Authentication and upload succeed every time, then the submission gets rejected in under a minute.

As a control I copied /bin/ls, signed the copy with the same certificate, and submitted that. Same error, so it doesn't look app-specific.

The latest submission is 03369f51-9929-4ec1-8940-e488cf1d00a7, uploaded 2026-07-10T08:30Z.

Developer Programs Support case 102922992178 has been open since June 23 and was escalated to engineering on July 7. I retried today and nothing changed. This has been blocking our macOS release for three weeks now and I'm out of things to check on my side.

Have I missed an account-side step, or is this something only Developer Programs Support can fix for the team?

Have I missed an account-side step … ?

No. This is something that you need to deal with via the official channel.

For those reading along at home, I have (a little) more background in this post.

Update, October 2026: still blocked. Every submission since June 20 is rejected with status 7000, most recently 12bd4fb5-5ded-4b90-aa68-e830b4fb1538. The Developer Programs Support case (102928898660, original 102922992178, escalated to engineering July 7) has had no progress in almost four months, and my last message there in September got no reply. Users who download my app cannot open it.

Is there anything else a developer in this situation can do, or anyone who can look at team WPJCQG3698? Has anyone else here had a team stuck in this state get unblocked, and how?
