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?

I have multiple submissions for an app notarization. The goal is to distribute the DMG on my website rather than the app store (which I also have a submission in review for). These are the notarization logs:

The earliest of which occured more than 18 hours ago.
This is my first time submitting an app for notarization. I also have a developer account that was created ~1-2 days ago.
From what I've read online, notarization usually occurs in less than 10 minutes.
When querying for the logs, it juts says that the submission ID is invalid or the logs aren't available yet.
Submission log is not yet available or submissionId does not exist

I want to use the com.apple.vm.networking entitlement which has a note:
This entitlement is restricted to developers of virtualization software. To request this entitlement, contact your Apple representative.
https://developer.apple.com/support/technical/ says:
« Request entitlements using entitlement forms and ask for status updates in the resulting email thread. » but I haven't been able to find these "entitlement forms". Does anyone know what the right process is to request an entitlement?
Hello, my iOS apps are exiting right after launch on a few of our iOS devices. I tried a couple of my apps that are deployed to our fleet and they do the same thing. If I run the app(s) in the Simulator it works fine and if I run the app(s) on the offending devices it works fine as well. Once I stop the run in Xcode the app on the device will not launch.
I'm thinking something is missing like a certificate etc. Just not sure.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I would really like to get this fixed.

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a critical, blocking issue where my developer account (Team ID: K655PX7A46) is unable to generate a valid provisioning profile with the App Attest entitlement. I have confirmed this is a server-side issue and am hoping to get visibility from an Apple engineer who can investigate.
The Problem:
When I generate a provisioning profile for an App ID with the "App Attest" capability enabled, the resulting profile is defective. It is missing the required com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment key in its entitlements dictionary, causing Xcode to fail the build.
What I Have Proven:
The issue is not a misconfiguration. The App Attest capability is correctly enabled and saved on the App ID configuration page.
The issue is not isolated to one App ID. I created a brand new App ID from scratch, enabled the capability during creation, and the server still generates a defective profile with the same missing entitlement.
I have definitive proof by inspecting the downloaded .mobileprovision file. The contents confirm the required key is missing.
Steps to Reproduce on My Account:
Create a new App ID on the Developer Portal.
Enable the "App Attest" capability and save.
Generate a new "iOS App Development" provisioning profile for this App ID.
Download the profile and inspect its contents via security cms -D -i [profile].
Observe that the com.apple.developer.app-attest.environment key is missing.
The Evidence (Contents of the Defective Profile):
Here is the output from inspecting the profile for a brand new App ID (com.technology519.linksi.app2). As you can see, the correct entitlement is missing, and an incorrect devicecheck entitlement is present instead.
This is a critical bug in the provisioning profile generation service for my account that is blocking all development. I have already filed a support ticket (Case #102721408444) but have so far only received generic, unhelpful responses.
Can an Apple engineer please investigate this server-side issue with my account?
Thank you.

I am receiving an entitlement error from stripe terminal SDK when integrating Tap to Pay from apple in the info.plist.
Im hoping that someone can give me their input on my error output rather than diving into the stripe sdk to point me in the right direction of something I may have missed with entitlements.
I have been approved for tap to pay entitlement and am following the instructions here from apple: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/proximityreader/setting-up-the-entitlement-for-tap-to-pay-on-iphone
com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.tap-to-pay
After signing and notarizing our application, the entitlement “com.apple.security.get-task-allow” is removed. However, we want this entitlement to remain and we want to be able to create a corefile when needed.
Is it possible to make the “com.apple.security.get-task-allow” entitlement persistent after signing and notarizing, so that our application can create a corefile?

We've been creating iOS apps for a few years now, but when I tried last month, I got an error in my XCode that says:
No profiles for 'com.os.hub.mth2' were found
Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'.
I'm not sure if it's the cause or not, but when I look at the signing certificates, the Developer ID Application Certificate says:
Missing Private Key
The weird part of that is that I see a private key with this name in my Keychain access, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
There has been a significant time gap between now and the last time we created a mobile app, so I'm not sure if something changed in XCode/MacOS to cause this issue, or if something expired.
I'd appreciate any advice.

Developer ID
We have a Mac app that uses some restricted macOS entitlements, thus to test it we embed a development provisioning profile, that needs to contain the correct provisioning UDID.
Typically, for test VMs, we extract the provisioning and UDID and add it to the developer portal and then re-generate the provisioning profiles.
However when we try to do this in our newly created VM (Apple Silicon), our executable won't run, and macOS logs that the provisioning profile doesn't allow the device:
2025-06-12 12:37:52.168 E taskgated-helper[27489:e97da] [com.apple.ManagedClient:ProvisioningProfiles] embedded provisioning profile not valid: file:///Applications/foo.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile error: Error Domain=CPProfileManager Code=-212 "Provisioning profile does not allow this device."

The UDID for this VM does look weird, in System Profiler:
But I can verify that this UDID string is present in the provisioning profile embedded in the app bundle:
$ security cms -D -i /Applications/foo.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile | grep -i 7cd9234e9aa4fa8ba528ee417f857b2c993a20a3
<string>7CD9234E9AA4FA8BA528EE417F857B2C993A20A3</string>
I also tried deleting the manually added device from the Developer portal and installing Xcode on the VM and letting Xcode register the device, but I end up in the same situation there. Even after letting Xcode itself register the device, it says that "this device not registered to your account" and then when I click "Register device" it changes into " already exists".
Has anyone else managed to get Mac development provisioning profiles to work in a VM?

Howdy,
I thought this would be an easy question, but it turns out it's really not! In fact, it flies in the face of how the Apple ecosystem is set up. That said, I still need an answer to be able to inform our customers of what their app update options are.
The question: Does app store provisioning ever expire? Based on the very limited information I can find, it either expires in one year, two years, or never. Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that the answer could be never, but I need to confirm this.
The use case: Some of our customers are very old school. They tend to find a technical solution and stick with it. As such, they do not update apps regularly on their field iPads. They generally only update when they are forced to. They use MDM to deploy the app, and would set the MDM not to pull updated apps from the app store when available, essentially keeping the same version of the app in use for as much as 3 years or more. If this were to happen, I need to know if the provisioning for the old version of the app will ever expire if they get it from the app store.
I know with an enterprise deployment of .ipa files via MDM, the app provisioning/certificate will expire after 1 or 2 years (can't remember which atm), but I can't find an answer about app store provisioning. Hopefully someone can provide me with an answer on this forum.
Thanks in advance,
Mapguy

Yesterday there were reported outages on the Developer ID Notary Service, but it was reported pretty late and we were able to notice the outages in real time. It says resolved now, however an error still persists:
Error: HTTP status code: 403. A required agreement is missing or has expired. This request requires an in-effect agreement that has not been signed or has expired. Ensure your team has signed the necessary legal agreements and that they are not expired.
Is there an ongoing outage at this moment that is not being reported again?
Our pipelines have been working flawlessly for months without intervention nor changes until the most recent outages
Hi everyone,
I'm following up on this post I made earlier about an issue I'm having with FamilyControls and the DeviceActivityMonitor extension not working for external TestFlight testers.
To briefly recap:
I have official Apple approval for the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement (distribution)
The entitlement is added to both my main app and the DeviceActivityMonitor extension
The App Group is correctly configured for both targets
On internal TestFlight builds, everything works as expected: app blocking works, the extension runs, and selected apps are shielded.
On external TestFlight builds, users get the Screen Time permission prompt, can select apps to block, but nothing is blocked.
Since that post, I submitted a Code Level Support request, and Apple asked me to file a bug report via Feedback Assistant. I did that almost a month ago.
The only reply I’ve received since is that they can’t give a timeframe or guarantee it will be resolved. I'm stuck in limbo with no updates and no fix.
This feature is critical to my app and I cannot launch without it. I’ve reached out to other developers who use app blocking, and none of them have run into this issue. My setup seems correct, and Apple has not said otherwise.
If anyone has experienced something similar, found a workaround, or knows how to get real movement on a bug report like this, I would really appreciate any help. It’s been weeks, and I just want to launch my app.
Thanks so much.

The device UDID was registered to the developer account 40 hours ago, the STATUS column was "processing" in the first 24 hours, then turned to empty.
But I still can't run my app (with distribution method "development"), when I try to run it after download it through my OTA URL, it prompts “the app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified” but everything runs good on a iPhone which was registered a month ago.
What should I do now? keep waiting?
I am a complete novice and I find that I cannot restore or delete the “Apple Development” certificate (I only use it for signing).
From what I understand, you need to be in a program to manage certificates, but I have no intention of distributing any applications and, from my point of view, it makes no sense to pay.
Am I wrong or am I doing something wrong?
Notes:
This happened after I installed Tahoe on a new installation.
I was able to restore it using a copy of the keychains folder I had from Sequoia.
Xcode (Apple Accounts - Manage Certificates) now shows me two certificates, indicating that one is not in the keychain and cannot be deleted.

Do you know why?
If you have any thread or documents telling about the details of return values of the command: 'xcrun notarytool submit'
On MacOS, I know that App Groups (com.apple.security.application-groups) do not require a provisioning profile.
I was wondering if it's possible to sign them "ad hoc" and have it work? So maybe use a random TEAMID prefix and have it work?
I would only need the app to work locally (for testing), not be distributed in that fashion, of course.
I have two certificates in my Accounts>Manage Certificates section. One is active, the other is greyed out with a status of "Not in Keychain". I only have ONE certificate in the developer account online.
Timeline:
Had an issue with fastlane codesigning and was trying to resolve that. In that attempt I deleted my related Certificates from my keychain
Xcode showed them as disabled (greyed out) and not in Keychain.
Look up how to resolve, need to revoke certificates in Developer account online. I go and revoke those certificates. Nothing changes
I create new certificate and try to add it to xcode>account>certificate managment>"Apple Development". Get an error saying I can't add a new can't do that because a certificate is already pending.
I waited a day because I assumed like somethings with apple, updates are not immediate.
I come back the next day and am able to add a new certificate. However, the previous one that is greyed out and reads "Not in Keychain" under Status, is still there.
How do I remove that "Not in Keychain" certificate? I emailed developer support and they directed me here.
I am able to sign my application when logged in to the machine, however when build is running in CI (Jenkins), I get this:
"Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer.."
We just renewed or certificates, so I am not sure about previous procedure, but it used to work without temporary keychain and stuff, I believe.
What should be the recommended way to sign an application on CI?
What keychain should we use? system? temporary? other method?
Thanks,
Itay

Hey there,
I'm experiencing an issue with notarization of my macOS application, which is blocking a release.
We have signing/notarization hooked up to our CI process, both for prior releases as well as development builds (at the trunk tip). The notarization process has typically taken anywhere from a few minutes to a few tens of minutes, but for our most recent release, it's taking an unreasonably long time.
I've compiled the submission info for each build (+ reattempted notarizations) below. What's interesting is that the oldest one was accepted- however, it timed out our CI process, so we never actually released it.
Subsequent builds are more or less identical in terms of their content, however, they've been stewing in the notarization process for over 13 hours in some cases.

It's interesting to me that the notarization process is taking this long. We've notarized many development builds (with debugging flags enabled) in the time between our last public release and our attempt to notarize this one. What's more, the original build for this release was notarized within the span of about 15 minutes, but subsequent submissions of the same build have hung for tens of hours.
My two questions are:
How can I get our pending notarizations "unstuck"?, and
To prevent these types of hangs in the future, should I also routinely build/sign/notarize non-debug builds of my application during the development process?
Best regards and many thanks,
Charlton
