Hi everyone, I’ve just subscribed and configured my Apple Developer account. I tried to notarize the first binary I need to distribute via Homebrew, but I’m experiencing an issue where the process has been stuck in “In Progress” status for more than 21 hours, without completing or returning any errors.

Here’s the relevant history:

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.

I am also having the same issue with a simple test app. To test, I generated a "hello world" that displays hello world to a window in tkinter with python and nothing else. I built it with pyinstaller as a single statically linked executable and then then packaged it as an app by moving it into an hello.app/Contents/MacOS/ directory and adding some small metadata., signed it, and sent it to notarize. My notarization is still "In Progress" 24 hours later. I would also like to know if there is something going on with the apple notary tool right now.

I have been seeing a similar issue where notarization submission hangs for hours and does not complete. This has been happening since Friday, October 17th for me.
