I started the notarization process for my electron app (just a browser window loading a URL) yesterday (26/03/2025) at around 05:23 GMT.

I noticed in a couple of posts here in the forum that it may sometimes take a day to notarize the first app submitted by a team, but it has been over 30 hours now.

Here's the log from xcrun notarytool history.

Do help me out here, I have zero idea why this is taking so long.

Thanks in advance!

As darkpaw suggests, it’s better to edit your existing post rather than starting a duplicate. See Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips for this and other suggestions.

Regarding your notarisation issue, you can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for in-depth analysis and may take longer to complete.

As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognise them, and you should see fewer delays.
