timestamp.apple.com codesign issue

Hello! Starting yesterday we've been having a problem getting our app notarized. The codesign command fails with this error A timestamp was expected but was not found. Since the issue started, we have been able to get the app notarized successfully twice, but every other attempt has resulted in the same failure. Are there issues currently with timestamp.apple.com? When I curl that URL I receive a 302 response. Is this to be expected? Thanks!

We do occasionally see issues like this crop up. It’s hard to say whether this was a problem when you posted this 5 days ago. I just tested this and it’s working for me now. Are you still having problems?

When I curl that URL I receive a 302 response. Is this to be expected?

Yes. By default curl does a GET and that’s rejected by the timestamp service, which is why you get a 302 redirect. To get a meaningful response you have to issue a POST with a valid application/timestamp-query body.
