http 500 errors with notarytool today?

Is anyone else getting errors from notarytool today? I'm getting http 500 errors:

xcrun notarytool history --keychain-profile "MY_NOTARY_CREDENTIALS"

Error: HTTP status code: 500. Internal server error. Error communicating with authentication service. Please try again at a later time.

Apple's web page says that all services are working.

Happening for me as well.

Down again - it's happened twice this week. What are developers to do if we have an urgent fix to post and cannot notarize the builds?

I recently posted this response with respect to the time stamp service, but it also applies to the notary service. One difference is that the notary service does have a dedicated entry on the Apple > Developer > System Status page, and it’s flagging an issue right now.

  • Notary service is down again for 12 hours now. What's going on there?

  • Same here on our side, Error polling for notarization info: Error: HTTP status code: 500. Internal server error. Error communicating with authentication service. Please try again at a later time. We opened https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/10025735 but no news

Thanks for that. See my comments on this other thread.

I'm also seeing the same issue today.

I tried to run xcrun notarytool store-credentials again, but I get:

[13:23:26.009Z] Debug [API] Received response status code: 500, message: internal server error, URL: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/asp?, Correlation Key: EFNNWSQB2XZUUYA2EBWMOVQUMY

I've had this all day as well. Both on my computer and in the pipeline. And for multiple apps.

There is another open thread on this topic. NLTeo's answer in that thread solved the issue for me. The solution was to switch from app specific login to Apple Connect API Keys for authentication. I've copied NLTeo's post below for convenience, since I can't cross link

  1. Create API key and download it https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/api
  2. Copy key-id and issuer from same page

Store to keychain

xcrun notarytool store-credentials Notarize --key apple-connect-api-key.p8 --key-id 1234567 --issuer 11f28c89-0bbc-47b8-bb65-ad719eb08e4c

Use to notarize

xcrun notarytool submit ParetoUpdater.zip --team-id 12345678 --progress --wait --keychain-profile "Notarize"

I’m going to post my updates to the new thread about this issue that I referenced earlier.
