Hi there, I've developed a macOS app in Swift and SwiftUI. I'm planning to distribute the app outside of the App Store, so I'm currently getting it notarized. This is my first time notarizing an application.
My application is signed correctly during the build / archive process, but whether I try to notarize the .app via Xcode's organizer or a .dmg via notarytool, it seems to get stuck.
The status of Notarization attempts have been been stuck "In Progress", with the earliest attempt approaching 4 days.
Below is the output of xcrun notary tool history
Successfully received submission history.

I've been searching for similar issues on the developer forums, and while others have warned about long wait times for first-time notarization requests, I've never come across anyone else who had to wait 4 days.
