This time around, I saw the error you’re seeing: % notarytool-submit Test718887.zip Conducting pre-submission checks for Test718887.zip and initiating connection to the Apple notary service...

That seems kinda wonky to me and I recommend that you file a bug about it. Please post your bug number, just fo
