Notarization stuck at "In Progress"

I have been waiting well over 24 hours for my notarization to occur, and nothing - no "we might take a while if it is your first app" or any mention of that in the docs.

So why is it taking this long? What's the hold up???

If this is part of the process, Apple should officially document it, so developers aren't left resubmitting and wondering. This is not a good first experience with the developer program.

I’m glad to hear that this got resolved quickly.

If you’re looking for more context about this, Notarisation Resources links to a Q&A with the notary service team that’s quite instructive.
