Reply to Notarization services is not returning notarization status
It’s quite hard to read your post. Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips has a bunch of suggestions on how to use the forums effectively, and particularly tip 5. Anyway, it sounds like you are trying to notarise your Mac software and your requests are stuck in the In Progress state. If so, the most likely cause is that it’s been held for “in-depth analysis”. I’ve included my standard explanation of that at the end of this email (although I know you’ve seen it before because of the other threads your pinged about this). In the vast majority of cases this state clears by itself, usually within a couple of days. If you’re still stuck in this state after a week, reply back here with the request UUID and creation date of your oldest stuck request.

Reply to DriverKit entitlement policy clarification for development purposes
A few brief clarifications and comments: I am seeking clarification on whether the various driverkit entitlement families (com.apple.developer.driverkit.family.*) are available for development on my local Mac without requesting entitlements from Apple. Making the more explicit, they Development Only entitlement variants do two things: They match against a VERY broad hardware configuration, basically letting you match any hardware. Their ONLY available to Development signed builds. Note that the second criteria heavily restricts distribution, as development builds will ONLY run on machines which were registered with your developer account at the point the signing profile was generated. This is largely invisible when using automatic signing (Xcode will just generate a new profile), but can be easy to overlook with manual signing. At WWDC2022 Apple stated that In MacOS... In fact, all DriverKit family entitlements are now available to use for development. On these very forums, Eskimo himself also sugges

Reply to Validation error with Network Extension due to square brackets in Product Name
You should definitely file a bug against the App Store validator. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with using square brackets in your app name. Please post your bug number, just for the record. On the workaround front, the idea of setting your app’s on-disk name to something without the square brackets and then applying the square brackets at the display level seems reasonable. However, it’s not as simple as setting CFBundleDisplayName. Rather, you have to go through the localisation subsystem. macOS does support localised app names but there are complications: The bundle name (CFBundleName) must match the file name on disk (without the .app extension, obviously) [1]. If they do match, it checks for LSHasLocalizedDisplayName. And if that’s set, it tries to get the localised version of CFBundleDisplayName. Note There are further complications related to CFBundleDisplayName, but I didn’t explore those in depth. My goal was just to get anything to work (-: So, consider this app: % plutil -p Test817684_3.app/C

Reply to invalid API object reference
Thanks for the download link. I’m not sure what the actual problem is here. I ran your app through (roughly) the process described in Testing a Notarised Product, and everything seemed to work just fine. Specifically: In a fresh macOS 26.3.1 VM, I downloaded that zip archive in a way that sets quarantine. I unpacked it using the Finder. And then I opened the app using the Finder. It passed Gatekeeper, launched, and showed its initial UI. I then ran some basic validity checks, and those also passed with flying colours: % syspolicy_check distribution umldiagrammer.app App passed all pre-distribution checks and is ready for distribution. % codesign -v --deep --strict -vvv umldiagrammer.app … umldiagrammer.app: valid on disk umldiagrammer.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement % spctl -vvvv --assess --type exec umldiagrammer.app umldiagrammer.app: accepted source=Notarized Developer ID origin=Developer ID Application: Humberto Sanchez II (NA8Z96F8V9) Please run through these steps yourself and let me know what

The fact that: You hit a memory access exception while fetching instructions And the weird structure of the crash report suggests that something was really borked with that process, and it’s hard to investigate such borkage without a reproducible case, or at least a sysdiagnose log.
