Limit of 25 app specific passwords reached

I've developed and am developing many applications (about 35).

I've reached the limit the 25 app specific passwords for the notarization. So here are my questions:

  • If I remove an app specific password, will the already notarized application continue to work as usual?
  • Could I use the same password to sign multiple applications? For example, for a few applications, I have a free version and a pro version.
  • Is there a way to get more than 25 app specific passwords?

I think you’ve misunderstood what we mean by app in app-specific password. It’s not tied to the app you’re notarising. Rather, it’s intended to refer to the app doing the notarisation. In this context, notarytool is the app.

  • If I remove an app specific password, will the already notarized application continue to work as usual?

Yes. The notarisation process causes the notary service to issue a ticket. That ticket is issued by Apple and not tied to your account. For more background, see my DevForums posts linked to by Notarisation Resources.

  • Could I use the same password to sign multiple applications?

Yes. Standard practice is to use a single app-specific password for all the notarisation work. You also have the option of using an App Store Connect API key.

  • Is there a way to get more than 25 app specific passwords?

No idea.
