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?

Error 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization" - Cannot notarize any apps I'm trying to notarize macOS apps for Developer ID distribution and consistently getting error 7000 on every submission. Error Details: { "status": "Rejected", "statusSummary": "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 } What I've tried: Completed enrollment verification Created new App Store Connect API key with Admin access Created fresh App-Specific Password Submitted via both API key and App-Specific Password authentication All submissions are accepted and uploaded successfully, but after processing they're rejected with error 7000 Technical Details: Active Developer ID Application certificate Hardened runtime enabled Apps are properly code-signed (codesign -vvv passes) Behavior: Over 15 submissions since December 2nd - ALL rejected with the same error 7000. The submissions upload successfully and show "In Progress" for extended periods (sometimes hours) before eventually being rejected. Questions: Has anyone encountered error 7000 and resolved it? What was the fix? Are there any account settings or agreements required specifically for notarization that aren't obvious in the developer portal? Should I contact Apple Developer Support directly, or is there a self-service solution? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to notarize a macOS app for direct distribution through Xcode, and the notarization step has been stuck on “In Progress” for hours now. The upload completed fine, but since then I haven’t gotten any feedback at all: no email, no notification. Organizer just shows: Status: In Progress I’ve tried closing/reopening Organizer, and even re-archiving the app, but it always sits in the same state. Is this just a delay on Apple’s side, or is there something I might have misconfigured? Any tips on how to get more insight into what’s going on? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to notarize a macOS app for direct distribution in Xcode. The upload finished, but the notarization has been stuck on “In Progress” for hours. I’m not getting any emails or errors, and the status log in Organizer only shows the same “In Progress” message without any extra details. I tried reopening Organizer and creating a new archive, but it always ends up in the same state. Is this normal, or is there something I should check on my side? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

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 trying to package a Filemaker 18 Runtime app. A week ago, I managed to get 90% of the way towards doing as much, using MS Copilot as a guide. Unfortunately, due to my confusion over the landing stage files, I decided to start the process from scratch. This time, I fell at the first stage: Code Signing my .app Bundle. The Terminal command: codesign --deep --force --verify --verbose \ --sign "Developer ID Application: ME (V********)" \ "/Users/Me/Documents/Apps/MyApp/Runtime/MyApp/My App.app" Returned the error: /Users/Me/Documents/Apps/MyApp/Runtime/MyApp/My App.app: bundle format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable In subcomponent: /Users/Me/Documents/Apps/MyApp/Runtime/MyApp/My App.app/Contents/Frameworks/FMWrapper.framework No matter how many separate elements within the bundle I sign, I encounter the same error message. A few days ago, the identical command worked first time. I would be obliged for any help you can provide. Thanks.

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?

Coming from Windows, I'm finding Mac app packaging farcically complicated, to the level of a Python sketch. I mastered Windows packaging, via Inno, in an hour or so, but it has taken me, on and off, the best part of a week to get to the point I am at with the Mac OS, and I'm nowhere near finished (rather, it hasn't finished with me). Every time I surmount one hurdle, another pops up, seemingly just for the jollies. I'm currently stuck at: '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.' My account lists no agreements in this category. I understand the need for security, but not the labyrinthine nature of the process. An inner-party member in the former Soviet Union overheard a drunken Stalin say, “I trust no one; not even myself". Apple trusts no one, but has true contempt for developers. Is there a simple way to work through the packaging process? Let me rephrase that: please God, let there be a simpler way of working through the process! Regards, in extremis, Richard

Hello Colleagues, We have been seeing a delay in our Apple notarization submission that hangs for hours "in progress" without completing: This issue has been occurring since Friday, October 17th. We have also checked the Apple System Status page and there is no indication of any outage for Apple notarization.

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.

My notary service has been stuck for more than 5 hours. Is it taking long time because the notary service is down or because i am a new user

Hello, I've developed an application using Electron with JAVACRIPT. I have managed to deploy to both Windows and the web but having trouble deploying the application to my Mac users. It's my first time deploying an application for Mac but feel like I'm stuck at the last hurdle and out of ideas so I'm reaching out for help. My application is successfully signing but during the build and when my Notarize.js is running it seems to get stuck indefinitely. I can check and see the status of the Notarize attempts but they seem to be stuck "In Progress". Here are the logs.
