Hello, I have been hitting status code 7000 on every notarization submission since April 21, 2026. The notable detail: earlier submissions on April 18 and April 20 from the same team were Accepted normally. Whatever flag flipped between April 20 and April 21 is on the notary side, because nothing changed on my end. Team details Team ID: ZS76A62WJ4 Organization: KENOPA LTD (UK private limited company) Role: Account Holder Apple Developer Program: Active until April 17, 2027 Apple Developer Program License Agreement: accepted April 16, 2026 Paid Apps Agreement, Free Apps Agreement: both Active in App Store Connect W-8BEN-E and banking: Active Certificate Type: Developer ID Application Identity: "Developer ID Application: KENOPA LTD (ZS76A62WJ4)" Valid through 2027-02-01, full chain trusted App details Platform: macOS (native AppKit, Objective-C, no Electron) Hardened runtime: enabled Code signing passes verify and strict checks Sandbox: not used (Developer ID distribution outside the App Store) Submission history (Team ID ZS76A62WJ4) Accepted submissions: 2026-04-18 10:00 UTC 39856e43-... 2026-04-18 10:03 UTC 3edf2f4f-... 2026-04-18 10:25 UTC 858c52e7-... 2026-04-20 17:17 UTC 4766f3ce-... 2026-04-21 03:58 UTC 9eed3336-... 2026-04-21 05:44 UTC b759941f-... Then everything since flips to Rejected with code 7000: 2026-04-21 19:10 UTC bedc99ad-... 2026-04-21 20:24 UTC 4dbb55f0-... 2026-04-22 07:36 UTC 50e1420e-... 2026-04-24 04:11 UTC 7e4adf81-... 2026-04-25 04:31 UTC 4c0367ea-... 2026-04-25 08:02 UTC a3ce5f56-... (still In Progress at the time of posting) I can paste the full submission IDs in a follow-up if helpful. Sample notary log The body of every Rejected log is the same: status: Rejected statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..." Submissions all upload successfully, sit "In Progress" for hours-to-days, then flip to Rejected with this code. What I have verified All four agreements (Apple Developer Program License, Apple Developer Agreement, Paid Apps, Free Apps) are accepted and Active. Re-checked under the Account Holder login on both portals. Banking and W-8BEN-E are Active. Developer ID Application, Apple Distribution, and Apple Development certificates are all valid and the private keys import cleanly. App Store Connect API key works (notarytool history returns the full list with no auth errors). Same codesign invocation, same notarytool submit flags, same hardened runtime entitlements that worked on April 18-20 still produce the rejection on April 21+. Existing support channels Opened a support ticket via the developer contact form under "Development and Technical / Other Development or Technical Questions" (the exact path the error message specifies). Also emailed Developer Programs separately. Question Has anyone with the same "was working, then suddenly 7000 with no other change" pattern had it resolved? I am aware that DTS engineers have stated on this forum that they cannot escalate this. I am trying to get a sense of: Typical resolution time once a Developer Programs case is open (reports range from days to two-plus months). Whether anyone has found a particular wording of the support request that gets routed faster. Whether the Account Holder doing anything specific in the portal (re-accepting an agreement, toggling something in Membership, etc.) ever cleared this for someone. Thanks.

Hi all, I'm submitting a Developer ID-signed, hardened-runtime app for notarization. Every submission returns: "statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..." Team ID: V67NRZ84A2. Apple Developer membership is active, Developer ID Application certificate is valid, signing/verification all clean. Already opened a support case last week via the recommended path. The "contact page" on the developer site said Apple usually responds within 2 business days.... Has anyone hit this and gotten it resolved? How long did it take, and was there a more effective channel than the standard support form? I've seen people on Reddit claim they've actually been able to call a Developer phone line, but I haven't seen a valid phone number anywhere. I appreciate your response!

I have 2 Notarisation stuck for nearly 24 hours oth submission UUIDs: b78aa323-9993-40fd-a510-4fff5e989e8f and 952714cb-3a59-4caa-9343-674ca7dd86d4 Team ID 6A754AWMJB This is a Developer ID distribution (not App Store)

I have a macOS app (a background daemon) that I distribute outside the App Store as a .pkg installer. My build process is: Build the app (xcodebuild archive) Sign the app with Developer ID Application Package it with pkgbuild, signed with Developer ID Installer Notarize with notarytool Staple with stapler This works perfectly on my local machine using custom build_pkg.sh. I'm trying to automate this in Xcode Cloud using a ci_post_xcodebuild.sh script so a new build is triggered whenever I push to git repository. The problem is: • security find​-identity shows 0 valid identities in the post-build script environment • The archived app has Signature​=adhoc (no Developer ID signing) • pkgbuild can't sign the .pkg without a Developer ID Installer certificate • Notarization rejects everything because nothing is signed with Developer ID My question: Is there any way to make Developer ID certificates available in Xcode Cloud's post-build scripts? Or is Xcode Cloud only designed for App Store distribution, and I need to use a different CI (like GitHub Actions) for Developer ID / notarized .pkg workflows? Are there other ways to trigger creation of notarized pkg files whenever I push to GitHub?

Hi all, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 29 and immediately started notarizing my Electron-based macOS app. All submissions are stuck "In Progress" for 24–67 hours, with no Accepted or Invalid verdict. Team ID: VKFQG6Q29S Account: Individual, newly enrolled 2026-04-29 Submissions stuck (all "In Progress"): 2142f524-4c36-4452-a25d-2260d3b7010d (created 2026-04-30, ~50h) 6237312a-ae36-4a98-8ffe-37193c150a69 (created 2026-04-30, ~54h) 5184f493-f574-4f34-a536-8184bf4ce4eb (created 2026-04-29, ~64h) c108ed9f-1908-4c47-9b32-c55d34da99c7 (created 2026-04-29, ~67h) e1502fcd-dad6-402d-a0aa-550a1907ee46 (created 2026-05-01, fresh — submitted via App Store Connect API key as a control) What I have verified: Developer ID Application certificate is valid and trusted (security find-identity -v -p codesigning shows it) Inside-out signing: every Mach-O binary signed individually with hardened runtime, secure timestamp, entitlements; Helper apps and frameworks sealed top-level AFTER inner binaries; parent .app sealed last; DMG container codesigned codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 /path/to/app → "valid on disk" and "satisfies its Designated Requirement" I tried both auth methods: App-Specific Password (notarytool keychain profile A) and App Store Connect API Key (Team Key, Developer role, validated successfully). Both produce the same "In Progress" stall. Three earlier submissions returned "Invalid" within minutes with concrete errors (missing entitlements on shm-bridge .dylib, broken parent seal etc.), which I fixed. After the fixes, every submission gets stuck "In Progress" with no terminal status. I opened a Code Signing support case (102882655678) on April 30, no response yet. Has anyone else experienced extended "In Progress" hold on a freshly enrolled Developer ID? Is there a known first-submission review queue, and what's the typical SLA? Any way to escalate or is waiting the only path? Thank you.

Hi all — looking for diagnosis help, posting publicly in case other devs hit the same issue. Symptom Every notarytool submission for the past 32 days returns: statusCode: 7000 statusSummary: "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support..." Account state (all healthy as far as I can tell) Team ID: P6V2783F8M Membership: Active, Individual, paid Free Apps Agreement: Active Paid Apps Agreement: Active (signed Jan 4, 2026) W-8BEN tax form: Active Bank account: Active Developer ID Application certificate: valid, used for signing Bundle ID: dev.tinyclaw.desktop (registered) App is correctly signed codesign -dvvv shows: Authority=Developer ID Application: Yang Yang (P6V2783F8M) Authority=Developer ID Certification Authority Authority=Apple Root CA Timestamp=Apr 11, 2026 Hardened runtime + secure timestamp both enabled. spctl --assess passes locally. Submissions (all rejected with 7000) 5a903f08-bd17-4d59-ac63-12e191e2bb5a 49b670da-0f79-4814-809a-f675791f15c3 febfb37a-b445-4d03-b7c4-bf573304f219 9013e185-10e2-42d4-91c1-3378083266eb bfc64627-5eb6-402c-ac25-e79648d2c251 (latest, 2026-05-02) Different builds, different versions (0.5.22-beta.7 → 0.5.27), different DMGs. Same 7000 every time. Credentials revalidated with a fresh app-specific password — same result. DTS Case 102855668616 open since Apr 2 — 4+ weeks of template responses, no engineering progress. Question Has anyone seen 7000 persist this long after a clean Individual enrollment? Is there a specific team-side flag that has to be flipped server-side, that DTS L1 can't see or escalate? Any suggestion on which DTS topic forces escalation to the notarization service team specifically? Happy to share more diagnostic output. Thanks.

I'm posting this so other devs hitting error 7000 know they're not alone, and so this gets some visibility outside the support ticket black hole. Timeline: End of February 2026: first notarization attempts. All rejected with status code 7000 March 1st: first support case opened Today, beginning of May: still blocked. Still error 7000 Four cases: 102833704616, 102836645198, 102842517951, 102865000390. Different advisors each time. I've uploaded my government ID twice. When I ask for a status, the answer is "I'll get back to you when I have news." Then silence. My setup is fine. Team ID is Y564MF82K8. App is signed with Developer ID Application, hardened runtime, secure timestamp, no get-task-allow, deep verify clean. Apple rejects the submission before inspecting the binary. The block is on Apple's side. Somebody needs to push a button but they cannot agree who needs to push it, so they just pass it from one department to another. The "correct escalation path" doesn't work. Quinn (Apple DTS engineer) keeps saying on this forum that error 7000 is administrative and the path is Developer Program Support (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/118465?answerId=379585022#379585022). I followed that path four times. The cases just sit there. Threads on this forum about error 7000 go back to 2019. Six years. Devs report cases stuck for weeks, months, with the same scripted responses. Apple knows. Apple does nothing. I'm a solo dev and I want to do a proper launch of my SaaS on all major desktop platforms. I paid the $99. I built the app. I signed every agreement. I cannot launch on macOS because Apple's departments cannot agree on who needs to push a button. If anyone here has actually unblocked error 7000, please share what worked. The official path obviously doesn't.

I've tried to notarize my app recently and got the error:{ "logFormatVersion": 1, "jobId": "...", "status": "Rejected", "statusSummary": "Team is not yet configured for notarization", "statusCode": 7000, "archiveFilename": "myapp.dmg", "uploadDate": "2019-06-20T06:24:53Z", "sha256": "...", "ticketContents": null, "issues": null }I've never heard about "team configuration for notarization" previously. What are the steps to resolve that issue?Thanks in advance.

Hello, We are currently facing an issue with the Apple Notary Service that is completely blocking our production pipeline. For the past three days, every single submission has been stuck in the "In Progress" state indefinitely. Some submissions have been pending for over 48 hours, and none of them ever proceed to analysis. When checking the status via xcrun notarytool history, all entries show "In Progress". Attempting to retrieve logs with xcrun notarytool log always returns: Submission log is not yet available. This strongly suggests that the processing hasn't even started. This issue occurs consistently from my local machine (MacBook Air M3) and Our GitHub Actions CI workflow. Both environments are properly configured with Electron + Electron-Builder, and the app is correctly signed and uploaded each time. We have verified multiple times all credentials and code signing settings, no exceptions so far or problems in the pipeline. Here are a few stuck submission IDs: This is not a normal delay, it looks like a backend issue affecting our account or this specific App ID. Please escalate this case as soon as possible. We appreciate your urgent attention. Best

I've been successfully notarizing my apps for a year or so now, with intermittent releases every so often, usually succeeding with notarization in a couple of minutes. These apps are all written in Python, but I worked through all the jank required to get them to notarize cleanly a while ago and have no issues since. Today I submitted a couple of builds which have been stuck for hours. They're just "in progress", so no logs I can look at, no emails or anything on my developer account page. How can I begin to debug this? Successfully received submission info createdDate: 2025-06-24T18:43:37.140Z id: 8d1a1ca9-f0ad-426f-a714-89aaf9e01a07 name: pinpal-2025.6.25.for-notarizing.app.zip status: In Progress I should note that in addition to the comment added within 10 minutes of creation of this issue, within the last day, we also have: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/789389 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/789599 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/789995 So it seems pretty likely something is going on on the backend.

It's been over 24h and it's still in progress. Is there a timeout for a failed notarization? or do we just wait for days.. weeks.. moths? Successfully received submission info createdDate: 2025-06-25T09:52:03.153Z id: 2ae713a5-c2e3-432f-84ee-e5d3d4aed621 name: slideshow-city-1.1.0-arm64.dmg status: In Progress

Hello Apple Support, While attempting to staple a notarization ticket for our signed installer package, the stapler command fails with Error 65. Upon investigation, we found that connections to oscdn.apple.com present an SSL certificate issued to a248.e.akamai.net, which does not include oscdn.apple.com in its Subject Alternative Name (SAN). This mismatch prevents our macOS environment from validating tickets and completing the stapling process. Steps tried: Verified notarization status (Accepted). DNS flushed, tried different DNS (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1). curl to oscdn.apple.com consistently fails with SSL error 60. Please advise on resolving this certificate mismatch. also when I try to run the stapler command with my pkg "xcrun stapler staple/Users/mactest/Desktop/IPMPlus_Macos_Installer.signed.pkg" getting the output like :- Processing: /Users/mactest/Desktop/IPMPlus_Macos_Installer.signed.pkg Could not validate ticket for /Users/mac-test/Desktop/IPMPlus_Macos_Installer.signed.pkg The staple and validate action failed! Error 65. please help Thank you.

I’m unable to notarize the executable and the .app — the status has been showing “In Progress” for over an hour. Upon checking the xcrun logs, it indicates that the submission ID was not received. I also noticed there’s an Apple Developer Service outage reported since October 8, 2025. Could you please let me know when this outage is expected to be resolved? It would be very helpful.

During the release of our macOS App, we encountered the following issue: We need to support dynamic code loading of WebAssembly (wasm) inside our App, mainly by loading WebAssembly (wasm) binary modules. We discovered a problem: a wasm file is neither an executable nor a bundle, so it cannot be code-signed. Since our App needs to pass notarization, we have not set the com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory entitlement. Without setting com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory, loading a wasm module results in an “unsigned code” error that causes the process to crash. Could you please advise on what we should do to avoid this problem? Is it possible to apply for a special entitlement to allow com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory?

Is the Notary service unavailable again? The system-status page shows it as being green but I am back to receiving the same error as previously which fixed itself once the notary service went green again and I am unable to notarize and staple my Distribution PKG.

I am currently having issues uploading my app to appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/ for notarization. It times out after hanging for a while. I get the following error. 13:42:04 "LocalDataTask <D84AED32-B05B-4439-8BDC-40C0F89B89F1>.<1>" 13:42:04 ), NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out., NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/asp?, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/asp?, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4})

Today, I used xcrun notarytool submit to upload my packaged Electron app for macOS—once as a .zip file and once as a .dmg—for Apple notarization. However, both submissions have been stuck at "Current status: In Progress" for several hours now. I’ve also checked the status using xcrun notarytool info, and it keeps returning status: In Progress. Could someone please help me understand what might be going wrong? This is quite urgent—if a technical support engineer or anyone from the team could take a look, I’d be glad to provide the UUIDs of my notarization requests.

Notarization Rejects Valid Developer ID Certificates - Apple Infrastructure Issue? Environment macOS: 15.6.1 Xcode: 26.0.1 Architecture: arm64 (Apple Silicon) Team ID: W---------- Certificate Status: Valid until 2030 (verified on developer.apple.com) Problem Apple's notarization service consistently rejected properly signed packages with error: "The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate." Despite: ✅ Valid certificates on developer.apple.com ✅ Local signing succeeds (codesign --verify passes) ✅ Proper certificate/key pairing verified ✅ Package structure correct Failed Submission IDs September 2025: adeeed3d-4732-49c6-a33c-724da43f9a4a 5a910f51-dc6d-4a5e-a1c7-b07f32376079 3930147e-daf6-4849-8b0a-26774fd92c3c b7fc8e4e-e03c-44e1-a68e-98b0db38aa39 d7dee4a1-68e8-44b5-85e9-05654425e044 da6fa563-ba21-4f9e-b677-80769bd23340 What I've Tried Re-downloaded fresh certificates from Apple Developer Portal Verified certificate chain locally Tested with multiple different builds Confirmed Team ID matches across all configurations Verified no unsigned nested components Waited 3 months for potential propagation delays Verified all agreements are current and accepted Re-tested with minimal test package - same error persists Local Verification # Certificates present and valid security find-identity -v -p codesigning | grep "Developer ID" 1) XXXXXXXXXX "Developer ID Application: <<REDACTED>> (W----------)" 2) XXXXXXXXXX "Developer ID Installer: <<REDACTED>> (W----------)" # Signing succeeds codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 [app] → Success Question This appears similar to thread #784184. After 3 months and ensuring all agreements are signed, the issue persists with identical error. The certificates work for local signing but Apple's notarization service rejects them. Could this be: Backend infrastructure issue with Team ID W----------? Certificate not properly registered in Apple's notarization database? Known issue requiring Apple Support intervention? Has anyone else experienced valid Developer ID certificates being rejected specifically by the notarization service while working locally?

Hey there! Thanks so much for all the great posts about this topic! I'm fairly new to Mac development since a few months back, and I've been really impressed with Apple's developer tools and ecosystem so far. It's been an exciting journey building for macOS! However, I've hit a bit of a roadblock with the notarization process via direct download and would really appreciate some guidance from you more experienced developers. I understand that Apple has built a well-designed automated system to maintain high security for users, but I'm wondering: What's the normal timeframe for notarization to complete? What are usually the most common reasons if it takes longer than expected? Is there anyone at Apple who can help if the process gets stuck? I'm really excited to launch my app and continue developing for this amazing platform, so any tips from experienced Apple developers would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance! 🙏
