Hi everyone,
My app notarization has been stuck in the “In Progress” state for the past 4 days. Here are the details:
createdDate: 2025-10-12T07:56:46.228Z
id: 8f8c9a33-1c72-489e-a189-74c797a12fbc
name: DevScribe.zip
status: In Progress
I checked the Apple System Status page and noticed that the Developer Notarization service has been showing an outage since October 8th.
Could this ongoing outage be the reason my notarization is stuck? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Any guidance or workaround would be greatly appreciated.

That’s possible, but it’s not the most likely reason. Rather, I suspect that your requests were held for “in-depth analysis”. Here’s my standard spiel on that…
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.
However, it’s been over a week now, so if things are still stuck then please do write back here with a request UUID and I’ll take a look.
Share and Enjoy
