I’m trying to notarize an Electron app for distribution outside the Mac App Store, but every submission is rejected with error 7000. Team Details: Team ID: P3HATASMP9 Organization: Rose Ai Labs, Inc.

What I’ve verified: Developer ID certificate is valid and trusted Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority chain is complete App is properly code-signed with hardened runtime Using notarytool with valid credentials (submission uploads successfully) Account Holder role with full permissions Existing support case: 102808512705 I’ve had this issue for over a week with no resolution. The error message says “Team is not yet configured for notarization” which suggests something needs to be enabled on Apple’s side. Has anyone encountered this and found a resolution?

I’m a newly enrolled Apple Developer Program member and am trying to notarize my first macOS app using notarytool. My enrollment is fully completed: Payment completed Free Apps and Paid Apps Agreements are Active Banking and tax (W-8BEN) are Active DSA compliance (EU) is Active However, every notarization submission is immediately rejected with: statusCode: 7000 “Team is not yet configured for notarization.” The rejection happens before any analysis (ticketContents is null), which suggests an account-level provisioning issue rather than a signing or app problem. I’ve already opened a Developer Programs Support case under: Development & Technical → Other Development or Technical Questions, and provided recent Job IDs for escalation. For developers who have encountered this recently: Is this typically resolved by Apple enabling Developer ID notarization on the backend? Is there anything else required from the developer side once agreements are active? Any confirmation or shared experience would be appreciated.

Hi, I read that notarization should be fairly quick. I thought that it was stuck, so I ended up sending a few submissions of the same app. I was wondering if you'd able to tell me the status of my latest submission (id: a094f93d-8bb2-47fe-a411-b6e357456ec7). It has been saying "In Progress" for over 3 hours now. If it is held for in-depth review, would you be able to tell me what's the wait period is like? Thanks!

I'm trying to notarize an application for the first time & it's stuck for more than 24 hours now. I ended up submitting the same app more than 5 times, but all are stuck in waiting state. There is no visibility into what's happening & whenever i check the status it just shows as "In Progress". How can i expedite this process ?

I can't upload my macOS app to app store connect. Each time i try to upload, i see this message: Provisioning profile failed qualification Profile doesn't support App Groups. An empty app without an app group uploads fine, but if i add an app group to it, it does not upload.

Hi everyone!! I am submitting an App for Notarization for the first time, I have several attempts, some returned invalid and other show In Progress for more than 8 hours. Is that normal? I addressed the issues that make the other ones Invalid. Thanks so much!

We are trying to notarize a MacOS app on our paid developer business account for the past 3 weeks. After many hours of processing, we received the following error: Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support at developer.apple.com under the topic Development and Technical / Other Development or Technical Questions.", "statusCode": 7000, Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, how was it resolved? We have reached out to support to ask them to enable this configuration and received no reply. Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

Hi, I have an app built in Unity that I am trying to sign an notarize for distribution. I can successfully codesign the app and it runs properly. But after successfully notarizing the app, the app stops opening. My process is as follows: # codesign the app. omitting "--deep" "--option runtime" or both will result in notarization failing codesign --force --deep --verify --verbose --option runtime --sign "Developer ID Application: ORG NAME (ZZZZZZZZZ)" path/to/app.app # create notarization submission zip /usr/bin/ditto -c -k --keepParent path/to/app.app path/to/app.zip # submit for notarization xcrun notarytool submit --wait path/to/app.zip -v --apple-id apple@id.com --password "aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa" --team-id "ZZZZZZZZZ" Notarization seems to succeed. Running: spctl -a -vvv -t install path/to/app.app -returns: path/to/app.app: accepted source=Notarized Developer ID origin=Developer ID Application: JOHN DOE (ZZZZZZZZZ) The Problem: Before code signature, the app runs normally After code signature, the app runs normally After notarization, the app hangs indefinitely on opening. It stays in the Dock until force quit. The app does not create its main window. There are no Gatekeeper warnings or pop-up windows. Additional Information: The second time I attempt to open the application I get a pop-up warning me that the app was force-quit while opening windows. This happens whether or not I have used xcrun stapler to staple the notarization to the app This happens whether I run the app from the terminal, by double clicking on the .app package, or by running the Unix Executable within Contents/MacOS/ Any idea how I can debug this and figure out what's going wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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 have a product package which is structured like this: / Installer.pkg / Distribution / Main Component.pkg / Scripts / preinstall / postinstall / helper [ Mach-O executable ] / Payload / Application Bundle.app / Another Component.pkg ... The helper is our custom CLI helper tool which we build and sign and plan to use it in pre/post install scripts. I'd like to ask if we need to independently notarize and staple the helper executable or just the top level pkg notarization is sufficient in this case? We already independently notarize and staple the Application Bundle.app so it has ticket attached. But that's because of customers who often rip-open the package and pick only the bundle. We don't plan to have helper executable used outside of installation process. Thank you, o/

Hi everyone, Has anyone seen notarization behave like this? We have one specific app (let’s call it App A) with a Network Extension system extension. Whenever we submit App A for notarization: • Its submission stays “In Progress” indefinitely • The provisioning profile for its system extension becomes Invalid on its own • All our other apps suddenly fail notarization • And the whole team immediately gets: StatusCode 7000 – “Team is not yet configured for notarization.” Apple Support restored notarization once(Case 102738171569), and we confirmed other apps notarize fine — until we submit App A again, which instantly triggers the same team-wide block. This cycle has repeated twice. We verified: • Hardened runtime • Proper system extension signing • No private API usage • No get-task-allow • No ATS violations What’s confusing is that this doesn’t look like a normal notarization rejection. Normal failures don’t invalidate provisioning profiles or disable notarization for the entire team. It feels more like an automated security heuristic or misclassification. My questions: 1. Can a single app or system extension trigger an automated team-wide notarization disable? 2. Can an entitlement or NE configuration issue cause StatusCode 7000 instead of a standard rejection? 3. If this could be a false positive, is there a specific team at Apple who can manually review/clear it? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

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?

I've submitted my app four times, each time waiting a few hours for something to happen, then reducing the file size of my *.dmg and trying again. The first two seemed to have completed after 36 hours, but I no longer have that specific signed binary (and its a much smaller binary now anyway). The latest two are still "In Progress" and its almost been 48 hours. I know my process isn't wrong, and my app isn't somehow incorrectly built or being denied because two were accepted. The outage page shows green for the notary tool (https://developer.apple.com/system-status/) so I'm not sure what the hold up is.

Hi everyone, I’ve just subscribed and configured my Apple Developer account. I tried to notarize the first binary I need to distribute via Homebrew, but I’m experiencing an issue where the process has been stuck in “In Progress” status for more than 21 hours, without completing or returning any errors. Here’s the relevant history: createdDate: 2025-10-15T21:53:41.343Z status: In Progress

I am trying to notarize a VS-Code Fork Electron based app for non-App store distribution. Its just same for more than 24hrs, it just says processing. Looking for someone who could help me. Thanks

Hello Apple Developer Team I am an independent iOS developer creating highly specialized applications for a very small private audience of fewer than ten users These applications are tightly coupled with custom hardware that I design and manufacture myself for example automotive air suspension control systems Due to the extremely narrow scope and non commercial nature of these apps maintaining a full Apple Developer Program membership is economically impractical The applications are not distributed publicly are not monetized and are used only by a small group of people who share the same technical hobby All application code is written entirely by me There are no copyright violations no private API usage no hidden functionality no tracking and no malicious behavior The apps do not compromise iOS security do not harm users and do not discredit Apple or the iOS platform The software only functions when paired with proprietary hardware under my control At present the only viable way to install these apps is by using free developer certificates with a seven day expiration period This creates a significant usability burden Users must constantly re sign and reinstall the apps Non technical users frequently make mistakes during this process which leads to frustration and discourages experimentation learning and hardware innovation I would like to propose that Apple consider a limited and tightly controlled homebrew style distribution option where non App Store applications could be installed only after Apple review and approval similar in spirit to TestFlight or app notarization This could include strict limitations such as a very small number of allowed users no monetization no public discovery and clear labeling as private experimental or hardware coupled software Apple would retain full control over approval enforcement and revocation at all times Such a mechanism would preserve the security and trust model of iOS while supporting independent engineers hardware developers and advanced hobbyists It would reduce incentives for unofficial sideloading and encourage innovation at a grassroots level without weakening platform safety I deeply respect Apple’s focus on security quality and user trust This proposal is not about bypassing the App Store but about enabling a controlled reviewed and extremely limited path for legitimate non commercial hardware specific applications I hope this message can receive timely consideration and that if such an approach aligns with Apple’s platform goals it could be explored for inclusion in upcoming iOS versions where feasible Thank you for your time and for supporting the developer community Best regards Anzor Tekuev Independent iOS Developer

i encountered an error when i distributing my app on xcode 26.0.1. Below is error log. { "logFormatVersion": 1, "jobId": "ed2b622b-61f6-4c8a-90b7-7c3cdfbafc7a", "status": "Rejected", "statusSummary": "Team is not yet configured for notarization.

I’m facing an issue with my macOS app after code signing and notarization. The app is signed with my Developer ID and notarized using xcrun notarytool. Everything works fine on the machine where the signing was done — Gatekeeper accepts it, no warning appears, and codesign/spctl checks pass. However, when running the same .app on other Macs, users receive a Gatekeeper warning saying the app is "malicious software and cannot be opened". The signature is valid and the notarization log shows status: Accepted. What I've tried: Verified signature with codesign --verify --deep --strict --verbose=2 Checked notarization status via xcrun notarytool log Assessed Gatekeeper trust with spctl --assess --type execute Everything passes successfully on the development machine. Why would the app be treated as malicious on other systems even after notarization? I'm happy to share logs and technical details if needed.

Dear support team, is it possible to rename a notarized ZIP package and not to loose the notarized status? One of our ZIP package contains resources and binaries which are code signed. The archive itself is accepted after submitting and uploading during the notarization process (online notarization). Unfortunately, the ZIP cannot be stapled (offline verification). So, is the filename part of the notarized ZIP package or can a ZIP package be renamed? Best regards, Stefan

App Notarization got stuck, showing In-Progress from last 24 hrs. This is really frustrating. Can anyone plz update on this?
