Have not been able to notarize for the past 2 days

I haven't been able to notarize my macOS app for the past two days. Now, I believe this is an issue with the notarization process because I've tried notarizing the default app that's provided whenever you open a new Swift application, but that completely failed as well.

And I've been waiting for the past two days and it's been stuck on in progress. This is the second time this has happened to me in the past two months and oftentimes I have to wait more than a day or two for the notarization to occur. I just, I don't understand why it's deadlocked like this.

I've done nothing. I haven't changed my certificates. I haven't done any different configurations within my Mac. The last time that this happened, the issue went away after two days, but my biggest concern right now is that if this happens whenever we need to urgently push updates, we can't.

I have absolutely no idea what to do and I'm just extremely frustrated because this is happening right before our launch day. I've been stuck on notarizing again for the past two days and I've seen no progress, I've seen no responses from support emails and the ones that do aren't even applicable to my current scenario. ⁠

Please let me know - this is not a new account. Even the new projects don't notarize.

My certificates are completely valid, and I haven't changed anything. I'm on the most recent macOS and XCode version.

One interesting error I keep getting is attached below. This occurs after I've waited around 32 hours or so and after I've sent in a batch of three to four notarizations, two of them get this error and the other two pass through.

I’d like to tease apart the Xcode and notary side of this. In the Xcode organiser, click Distribute App and then follow the Custom > Direct Distribution > Export workflow. Then notarise that manually using notarytool. What do you see in that case?

For more on how to notarise manually, see Customizing the notarization workflow.
