Error 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization" - Cannot notarize any apps

Error 7000 "Team is not yet configured for notarization" - Cannot notarize any apps

I'm trying to notarize macOS apps for Developer ID distribution and consistently getting error 7000 on every submission.

Error Details: { "status": "Rejected", "statusSummary": "Team is not yet configured for notarization. Please contact Developer Programs Support at developer.apple.com under the topic Development and Technical / Other Development or Technical Questions.", "statusCode": 7000 }

What I've tried:

  • Completed enrollment verification
  • Created new App Store Connect API key with Admin access
  • Created fresh App-Specific Password
  • Submitted via both API key and App-Specific Password authentication
  • All submissions are accepted and uploaded successfully, but after processing they're rejected with error 7000

Technical Details:

  • Active Developer ID Application certificate
  • Hardened runtime enabled
  • Apps are properly code-signed (codesign -vvv passes)

Behavior: Over 15 submissions since December 2nd - ALL rejected with the same error 7000. The submissions upload successfully and show "In Progress" for extended periods (sometimes hours) before eventually being rejected.

Questions:

  1. Has anyone encountered error 7000 and resolved it? What was the fix?
  2. Are there any account settings or agreements required specifically for notarization that aren't obvious in the developer portal?
  3. Should I contact Apple Developer Support directly, or is there a self-service solution?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
